252 CRISTO #1D San Juan, Puerto Rico

Perched directly above the city’s original stone wall, with sweeping views of San Juan Bay and the iconic Parque de las Palomas below, this 768-square-foot loft offers a rare perspective on life in the Historic Zone. The apartment unfolds in a dramatic open layout, with soaring ceilings reaching nearly 20 feet in the main living and dining areas. Sunlight pours in through two sets of tall doors that open to Juliet balconies overlooking the harbor and the tree-lined park below, while a custom metal spiral staircase leads to a mezzanine-level bedroom suite, a quiet retreat elevated above the main space. The suite, framed by interior arches, offers privacy without disconnecting from the volume and rhythm of the home. A compact full bath serves the upper level, while a guest powder room, an uncommon convenience in properties of this scale, was thoughtfully added to the main floor. While the kitchen is pared down and ready for a reimagining, the building’s overall character and amenities more than deliver: a rare elevator and a panoramic rooftop terrace, available to all residents, offering 360-degree views of Old San Juan’s colorful skyline, the harbor, and the open sea. Situated along a pedestrian-only stretch of Calle del Cristo, just steps from Capilla del Cristo and the city’s most picturesque lookout points, this apartment is a study in volume, light, and place... an opportunity to live within the architecture and energy of Old San Juan, with the Bay as your backdrop.
