Property Description
This sensitive and ambitious restoration reimagined by renowned preservation architect Bob Vint, retains the essence of the original architecture circa 1898, whilst creating a renewed vision of amenities and services an owner would expect from a home of this caliber. Located in the heart of the highly sought after Barrio Viejo community, the fit out and quality of finish of this incomparable residence, preserves and protects the vision articulated in this romantic regional aesthetic. The extensive remodel meticulously restored original details, while infusing the latest modern advancements and curated materials, sourced from around the world.
The main Zaguan opens onto the sophisticated formal living room featuring the original Saguaro ribbed viga beamed ceilings, with classic red brick floors that float seamlessly throughout the space, providing a subtle, yet delicate contrast to the vertical wall tones.

East facing windows from the kitchen and interior breakfast nook overlook the garden courtyard, with a soothing water element that acts as an escape from the hustle and bustle of the city-life, where light and shade, openness and enclosure, make for an inviting ambiance, emphasizing enjoyment as a key element of the outdoor lifestyle.
