Hidden along the narrow, charming San Justo Street in Old San Juan, lies a meticulously restored Spanish Colonial Penthouse that embodies historical charm and contemporary comfort. Occupying the entire third and fourth floors of this newly renovated building, this residence is a fine example of the enduring allure of Old World architecture within one of the Americas’ oldest urban landscapes.
The piece-de-resistance is undoubtedly the expansive open terrace and private pool, seamlessly flowing outside from the living space. Perfectly poised for entertaining, the open kitchen and living areas provide both a sense of luxury and comfort. While steeped in historical ambiance, the apartment seamlessly integrates modern amenities to cater to today’s contemporary lifestyles. The installation of expertly laid coralina floor tiles provides both durability and aesthetic appeal, harmoniously juxtaposed with the classic interior elements. Inverter air conditioning units ensure energy-efficient climate control, while the kitchen boasts a large marble-top kitchen island and modern appliances accompanied by glossy white cabinetry, achieving a sophisticated culinary space. The bathrooms are thoughtfully updated with understated tile designs and fixtures, achieving a cohesive blend between old and new. Furnishings throughout the apartment are deliberately selected for their comfort and simplicity, ensuring that the historic features remain the focal point.
Strategically situated just two blocks from the historic city center—Plaza de Armas— the apartment offers immediate access to the cultural and social heartbeat of Old San Juan. Despite its proximity to this bustling square, the residence enjoys a tranquil setting, tucked away from the more frequented thoroughfares. This unique combination of serene seclusion and immediate immersion into the rich tapestry of the city’s history and culture renders this apartment a quintessential embodiment of Old San Juan’s timeless elegance.
