323 MONTE CARMELO CALLE 5

THE MOST INTERESTING HOME TO BE OFFERED IN YEARS! Located on a hilltop in Monte Carmelo, this gracious 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath home on 3 levels, has sweeping views of the Caribbean, the Atlantic, and the adjacent undeveloped, protected Nature Reserve. The property was architecturally-designed and gut-renovated with meticulous attention to detail. Imported Mexican Saltillo tile and gorgeous encaustic tile — custom-made in the Dominican Republic — provide the foundation for a contemporary home with traditional Caribbean accents. Custom-made mahogany double doors with hand-forged hardware, flanked by artisan clay light fixtures welcome you inside. The house is furnished with unique hand-crafted pieces from around the world. The main level is comprised of a kitchen/dining room, ample living room, full bath, and a covered wrap-around deck with lounging and dining areas. An outdoor built-in grilling station with counter and sink is conveniently located next to the kitchen. Below are 2 bedrooms and a full bath with beautiful countryside views; and a large utility, laundry, storage room with a half bath. The crowning glory is the private second floor primary suite with dramatic peaked ceilings, and a full bath (showering with views of the ocean is the ultimate luxury!). Adjoining the bedroom is a large sitting room/office. East and west-facing decks provide expansive views and near-constant breezes. The house is solar ready and has a 2-tank 10,000 gallon cistern for storing both rainwater and city water. Top-quality Valcor hurricane-proof doors and windows are installed throughout. Mature beautifully landscaped gardens, with flowers, ornamental plants and fruit trees. The adjacent fenced lot is included, for a total of two-thirds of an acre. Successful 5-star vacation rental record. Convenient mid-island location, so you can be just about anywhere in 5-20 minutes — from the island's best beaches to restaurants and shopping. Wake up in the glorious mornings to views of Puerto Rico, Culebra, and St. Thomas and St. Croix on a clear day. Have an evening cocktail on the balcony while you watch the sunset, gaze at the stars and watch the lights of Vieques and the main-island twinkle in the distance.
