Property Description
Located on the second floor of a beautifully restored four-level building on Calle Sol, this apartment embodies the history and refinement that defines Old San Juan. The structure, dating from the early 20th century, underwent a complete restoration around 2005, preserving its original architectural character—stained glass transoms, ornate ironwork, high ceilings, and classic hydraulic tile floors in the common areas—while incorporating thoughtful modernizations. Among them: a discreet, full-sized elevator, a rarity in the historic zone, and elegant interiors finished in white marble and black granite set in a timeless checkerboard pattern.
Inside the residence, tall wood doors with adjustable louvers open onto two balconies that overlook the cobblestoned Sol Street below. The light-filled interiors are defined by floor-to-ceiling wood-framed glass panels—translucent rather than transparent—that allow natural light from the building's two interior courtyards to filter softly throughout the space while maintaining privacy. The soaring ~13-foot ceilings lend an undeniable sense of volume and grace, giving the apartment a presence far beyond its 1,218 square feet.
A marble corridor illuminated by star-shaped pendant lamps leads to two bedrooms, each with an en-suite bath. At the end of the hall, the living and dining rooms open toward the street-facing balconies, where the rhythm of Old San Juan life unfolds just beyond the wrought-iron railings. A bright galley kitchen completes the layout—compact, functional, and perfectly in tune with the apartment's understated sophistication.
The property combines historical integrity with modern convenience and income flexibility. Short-term rentals are permitted, and the residence benefits from a Historic Property Certificate granting tax exemptions on property taxes and income taxes from rental revenue. Elegant, rare, and quietly grand, this Sol Street apartment stands as one of the most compelling offerings in the walled city.
