The true gem of this property lies in its exceptional location. Situated just three doors down from the bustling Calle Loiza, you'll find yourself at the heart of the action.

The current configuration of the house features three bedrooms, kitchen, bathroom, a cozy living room, a welcoming front porch, and a quaint backyard. Designed in the iconic style of "Casa Criolla," which flourished in Puerto Rico during the first half of the 20th century, this wooden gem exudes historical charm. The hallmark of this architectural style is the generous front veranda that sets the stage for a warm and inviting atmosphere. Stepping through the procession of doors that branch from this veranda, you'll find the layout that embodies the essence of the Casa Criolla - a central living space flanked by rooms on either side, with tiles throughout.
Believed to have been constructed in the mid-20th century, this wooden Casa Criolla house holds historical significance that's waiting to be preserved.
