310 Bravos de Boston Vieques, PR 00765

This exclusive house inspired by traditional turn-of-the-century Puerto Rican architecture, was designed by renowned architect Pablo Ojeda, whose work has earned international recognition, including the 2001 URBE Prize for Architectural Excellence in Design and Construction.
Ideally situated atop a hill at the end of a private road, this home offers constant breezes throughout and sweeping sea views over the lush tropical foliage of the valley below. The main island, Culebra and St. Thomas can be seen dotting the horizon from multiple parts of the house. Included in the sale are two contiguos lots which, together with the rest of the land, total 1.25 acres, adding an element of seclusion to the location. Such acreage is a rare find in the neighborhood of Bravos de Boston which is coveted for, among other things, its proximity to the sea, the ferry, and the shops, restaurants and cafes of Isabel II.
The house’s design embraces traditional materials and construction methods reimagined for modern tropical living. Intentionally oriented to take advantage of the ocean views and sea breezes, t’s massive blue French doors and louvered windows open up to various outdoor balconies and living spaces, blurring the line between indoors and outdoors. The surrounding mature gardens and plantings in the central courtyard complement the architecture and bring nature into the heart of the home. Polished cement floors and countertops add a contemporary touch while being easy to maintain. The soothing sound of the fountain coupled with the backdrop of the ocean waves and local birds, envelops you in the serene tropical landscape as you relax by the pool.
The house can be accessed by a quaint pedestrian pathway via the courtyard or via the parking area over an elevated walkway that leads to a split-level entryway. Spanning approximately 2,000 sqft, the home is spread across two levels, with the main living areas on the upper level and guest and communal spaces on the lower level.
On the upper level, the dining area, which has both sea and courtyard views, leads into the kitchen, which has ample counter and storage space and room for an island or small breakfast nook.
