This property offers a unique opportunity to own the only surviving example of a classic Caribbean French-Afro style Shotgun bungalow on Vieques. The bungalow is located in Isabel II on Calle Antonio G. Mellado providing all the amenities of in town living. The bungalow’s footprint is 840 sqft and is located on a titled lot of 3,500 sqft. With uninterrupted Atlantic and Puerto Rican skyline views from the front terrace and a 2,000+ sqft garden this home guarantees a peaceful oasis with a dining terrace set amidst lush tropical foliage. The bungalow, dating back to 1927, has recently been restored to its original design after decades of alterations to ‘modernize’ its character by master carpenter Ernesto Pena in 2021-22. In traditional shotgun style, there are 3 rooms, arranged in a line, measuring 12 x 36 feet . The timber frame and hipped roof employ mortise and tenon and wooden peg joinery. The louvered doors and windows are custom made cedar. The doors and windows, arranged to take advantage the Tradewinds, provide exceptional cross ventilation. There is an attached, one story, mid century, concrete building, 15 x 21 feet, housing the kitchen and bathroom constructed in the 1950s, when those activities were brought indoors. While this bungalow is still a work in progress, the original shotgun structure has been preserved and is ready to once again stand the test of time. The concrete structure has a new roof. The plumbing has been newly replaced and is connected to Municipal water and sewage. New metal and glass louvered doors and windows have been ordered and convey. The garden, when fenced, has a nursery full of plants ready to install.
