Thoughtfully restored to preserve its timeless elegance, this two-story residence seamlessly blends historic charm with modern comforts. From the moment you enter, you are welcomed by an air-conditioned grand room with soaring 20-foot ceilings, where a full-wall library invites both quiet reflection and sophisticated entertaining. Every step through this home tells a story, with intricate tilework sourced from the historic San José Church (circa 1810), adding an unparalleled touch of authenticity and character. Original "soles truncos" archways stand as a testament to the home’s Spanish heritage, casting beautiful patterns of light throughout the space. Designed for both elegance and ease, the living room, dining area, and kitchen flow seamlessly through graceful arched openings to an indoor covered terrance and interior patio where natural light and fresh air create an inviting atmosphere for relaxation or entertaining.

Upstairs, you’ll find three spacious air conditioned bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and a laundry room. The two primary bedrooms feature custom closets, restored original wood floors, and double doors that open onto Old San Juan’s iconic balconies, offering picturesque views of the historic streetscape. An additional open balcony overlooks the indoor garden, providing the perfect spot to unwind. The property includes a full-power generator and a water cistern for added convenience and reliability. Ideally located on San Francisco Street, this exceptional home offers both security, with a police station directly across the street, and convenience, just a short walk from the San Juan Cathedral, Plaza de Armas, and an array of fine dining restaurants. A rare opportunity to own a true Old San Juan treasure, this residence is a perfect blend of history, charm, and refined living. Also available for Sale
