A-8 Los Chivos

Description

Las Terrazas is an elegant three unit villa in the heights of La PRRA / Los Chivos, hedged in by 1.4 acres of privacy and a spectacular 290 degree seascape. Behind the grand porte-cohere are colorful terracotta and Spanish tile lined courtyards and manicured gardens filled with palms and a variety of tropical yet easy to maintain plants. Tucked away is a stunning Marrakech style vivid blue tiled pool that looks onto Puerto Rico and Culebra. The property's main house is divided into two private living quarters. Upon arriving at the lower level unit, you are greeted by a comely portico and fountain that native birds frequent. The lofty great room has a large and comfortable dining and living space and a U-shaped kitchen with bar seating. French doors open up to a contiguous shaded outdoor dining area, also ideal for grilling. The spacious principal bedroom has a reading nook, space for seating, and a generously sized closet. Adjacent to the second bedroom is an in-house laundry and owner's closet. The unit is fully equipped with AC, a built in mini-bar and a bathroom with a double sink and tiled shower. Just above is a tri-level tropical pagoda with a central mezzanine accessed by modern industrial steel and wood stairs. The tall skillion roof and clerestory windows give the living room and kitchen a tremendous air and light. To either side of the kitchen is an outdoor terrace, a guest bedroom and a full bathroom. On the second level, the cozy library with classic black and white checkered tiles opens up to outdoor terraces on either side. The sun-lit principal bedroom has wood beamed ceilings and amazing views of the passing ferries and amazing pink summer sunsets. On the third level is an entertainment lounge and a double bedroom loft. The free-standing upper casita with wooden vaulted ceiling is a spacious studio with an open kitchen, dining area, and workspace. The unit contains a queen sized bed and has both an indoor full bathroom, outdoor shower and a balcony. The gated villa is fully equipped with AC, has plenty of parking and two garages/storage areas, one of which includes a housekeeper's laundry room. The property's mid-island location makes it accessible and well communicated, which would make it a wonderful home. It is currently a successful income producing rental which accommodates 12 people, also making it a great investment option while spacious enough for owners to live on the property while renting.
