Property Description

Set on approximately 0.58 acres within Violeta Norte, an intimate gated enclave of only 25 properties in Urb. San Francisco, San Juan, this distinctive residence offers something increasingly difficult to find: substantial private grounds, mature tropical landscaping, resort-style outdoor living, and exceptional versatility—all within the city. Residents of Violeta Norte enjoy the same community privileges and amenities available to residents of Urb. San Francisco proper, including access to the gated community and its shared recreational facilities and amenities. This gives Violeta Norte the added privacy of a limited 25-property enclave while remaining connected to the broader Urb. San Francisco community. Offered at $1,400,000, the property is listed at its recently appraised value of $1.4 million, providing buyers with an independently supported valuation at the current asking price. The residence features 4 bedrooms, 5 full bathrooms and 1 half bathroom, along with generous living and dining areas, a family room, private office, dedicated gym, laundry room, multiple storage spaces, and a four-car garage. At the heart of the property is an exceptional indoor-outdoor entertaining environment designed around Puerto Rico’s year-round lifestyle. The private swimming pool is surrounded by lush vegetation and complemented by a covered terrace, dedicated pool bathroom, and an indoor lounge and kitchen area—creating a space equally suited for intimate weekends at home or larger gatherings with family and friends. Adding to the property’s versatility is an additional space with separate access which features a full bathroom, kitchen, and living/dining area. This additional space provides an ideal arrangement for multigenerational living, extended-stay guests, a private workspace, or other permitted uses while maintaining separation from the main residence. The grounds are an experience of their own. Mature tropical vegetation surrounds the property, with established mango, avocado, breadfruit (pana), cacao and banana trees, along with lemongrass, Philippine coconut palms, Royal Poinciana (Flamboyán), and additional tropical landscaping. Bamboo borders the creek along the lower portion of the property, creating another layer of greenery and privacy. Inside, the kitchen features solid wood cabinetry that has been professionally painted while preserving the original natural wood finish inside the drawers, allowing a future owner the option to restore its original appearance. The home is also equipped with features particularly valuable for everyday living in Puerto Rico, including a backup generator with recently installed transfer switch, two tankless water heaters, and air conditioning in three bedrooms, the living room, and gym. Thoughtfully maintained and improved by the same owner for more than 31 years, the property reflects decades of care while offering its next owner the opportunity to make it their own. More than simply a residence, 1688 Calle Violeta offers the privacy and atmosphere of a tropical retreat with the convenience of a San Juan address. Its location within the limited 25-property enclave of Violeta Norte, combined with access to Urb. San Francisco and its community amenities, offers a particularly compelling combination of privacy, space, established surroundings, and community living.
