A Closer Look at the Residence
Set within the historic Casa Garay in the heart of Casco Viejo, this remarkable one-bedroom corner residence offers approximately 1,193 sq. ft. (110.85 m²) and an exceptional combination of preserved architectural character and contemporary city living.
The residence immediately distinguishes itself through its dramatic 15-foot ceilings, original exposed stone walls, antique patterned tile floors, and soaring arched windows and doors. Natural light fills the open social area, emphasizing both the scale of the interiors and the craftsmanship of the historic structure. A statement chandelier adds another layer of character to a space that feels distinctly connected to Casco Viejo’s architectural heritage.
The open-concept living and dining area flows into a contemporary kitchen centered around a substantial stone-topped island. Clean-lined cabinetry and stainless-steel appliances create a deliberate contrast with the residence’s historic materials, allowing old and new to coexist naturally rather than compete.
As a corner residence, the apartment benefits from multiple exterior openings, while its private balcony creates a direct connection to the streetscape and distinctive architecture of the Historic District. The bedroom and bathroom complete a residence conceived on an unusually generous scale for a one-bedroom home.
Casa Garay itself adds another dimension to the property. The site forms part of the layered architectural history of San Felipe, with origins connected to the colonial-era Convent of La Merced and a later historic structure that has been carefully restored for contemporary residential use.
For a resident seeking something beyond conventional apartment living, this is a home defined by authenticity: original stone, exceptional ceiling height, historic floors, architectural volume, and the experience of living within one of Casco Viejo’s distinctive restored buildings.
