Impeccably Restored Historic Home with Enormous Rooftop Deck and Two Kitchens! Located on the corner of Sol St and C. de San Justo, this 6BR/2BA residence captures the imagination with whimsical terraces, beautiful window spindles, and a vibrant exterior. Owned in the 1800s by the then-wealthiest sugar baron, José Ramon Fernández, the property has continued to enjoy the presence of Old San Juan’s notable residents, including a former governor (circa 1900s). Thoughtful consideration was made while restoring this historic gem. All of the original bricks were saved, ironwood beams preserved, and frescos given new life. Showing like a dream, the property offers versatility for investors and/or multigenerational households. Boasting two floors, each level may be used independently or as a singular household. This remarkable 8,600 sqft estate offers 5,700 sqft of meticulously designed indoor living space, complemented by 2,900 sqft of outdoor living. Rich with antiquated charm, the interior has gorgeous flooring, arched doorways, wood doors, high ceilings, openly flowing layout, and updated wiring/plumbing (2000). Each level impresses further with a spacious living room, dining room, and a gourmet kitchen featuring stainless-steel appliances, gas ranges, breakfast bars, and a custom made tile backsplash. Fortunately, one tile was perfectly preserved in the kitchen wall, which made possible successful reproductions. Delft of Holland, the world’s leading experts in Spanish Colonial tile, was commissioned to reproduce the tiles for a truly authentic aesthetic. Every bedroom is generously sized with lovely views from the elegant windows. Marvelous for elevated self-care experiences, each full bathroom captures the ideal combination of sophistication and tranquility. Discover bliss with custom tilework and an oversized jetted tub/shower. Finally, bask in the entertainment possibilities of the massive rooftop deck.
