The property occupies the third floor of a historic and well-preserved three-story building. As such, it has been certified exempt from paying property taxes. The apartment also boasts a rich history: the famed painter Angel Botello, whose art gallery is open for business on the building's ground floor, had his atelier studio in what's today the apartment's living room. The penthouse has 3,350 sqf of living space with city views to the east and water views to the west. It also has the documented right to private and exclusive use of the building's rooftop, which adds 3,500 sqf of extra space. The apartment is being sold fully furnished and is thus ready to move in (turn-key). The property has been tastefully remodeled to preserve its colonial past while adding various modern comforts. For example, the thick 20" walls, brick arches, wood beams, soaring ceilings (as high as 13' in the master bedroom) and Saltillo tile floors have all been preserved and beautified. But the electrical wiring and plumbing have all been updated. All windows now have high-impact, sound-proof glass. There are now seven A/C units. There are 14 solar panels, a 10,500 Kwh Tesla battery, and a 400-gallon cistern and tank, all providing autonomy in the event of utility outages. A dedicated 50 Kw sub-station has been installed to reduce utility costs and remove voltage fluctuations. An elegant staircase, accessed from the living room, now exists with direct, easy access to the rooftop. There are three bedrooms, each having a private bathroom. There's also a half bathroom for guests and a separate office. One of the bedrooms is completely detached, with its own kitchen and balcony, and can be used as a short-term rental unit (e.g. Airbnb) proven to generate a five-figure income annually. It can also be sold separately as it has its dedicated electric meter and property ID. The property boasts three decks, two balconies, an enclosed workshop, and a separate laundry area.
