Historic Mansion in the Heart of Old San Juan
This unique historic mansion is nestled on a 356 square meter lot in a prime location within Old San Juan, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Originally constructed in 1840 as the residence of a Spanish officer, this grand “Casona” spans approximately 5,324 square feet (4,130 interior), and currently consists of a two-story colonial structure featuring one main unit, two apartments, and one studio.
The property offers flexible use: it can be maintained as four separate residential units or converted into a single-family residence with up to 7 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, complemented by three open terraces.
Enjoy spacious bedrooms, charming interior courtyards, open-air patios, and private rooftop terraces—perfect for morning coffee or unwinding in the afternoon while taking in the picturesque views of the Old City.
Additional highlights include:
• Oversized windows for abundant natural light and excellent cross-ventilation
• Soaring 16–18’ ceilings
• Water cistern (“aljibe”)
• Classic Spanish architectural elements: exposed brick, preserved “ausubo” wood beams, original semicircular “soles truncos,” and intricate ironwork
Located just steps from iconic landmarks such as Castillo San Felipe del Morro and Castillo San Cristóbal, and close to art galleries, restaurants, and boutique shops, this home offers the perfect blend of historic charm and urban convenience.
