Property Description
Few places on the island hold such an eclectic personality as Casa Maritaca. Evoking classic cinema, scenes from Pedro Almodóvar films, and iconic figures like Frida Kahlo, Casa Maritaca is a unique, newly built chalet nestled on a peaceful acre of manicured lawn in the hills of Monte Santo.
Upon entering, elegant interiors unfold with tall ceilings, bold colors, and vibrant design thoughtfully blended throughout the common areas. The living room and spacious dining salon are filled with natural light from oversized windows, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere.
The large cook’s kitchen is as functional as it is playful, making cooking and entertaining both easy and enjoyable. The kitchen features two sinks, abundant cabinetry and storage, expansive counter space for preparation and hosting, and a central island/bar ideal for sipping martinis. The space is directly adjacent to a cozy living area making it a great space for casual gatherings or for relaxing in the evenings.
The three bedrooms are designed as intimate, restful spaces with vibrant tones and a cheerful aesthetic. The spacious primary suite includes a private full-sized bathroom. The guest bedrooms carry the same essence, one includes its own en-suite bathroom and accommodates a king-size bed, while the third also functions well as a workspace or home office. All bedrooms are fully air-conditioned.
The tall basement provides generous storage and pantry space, along with a studio suitable for an artist or workshop, complete with convenient exterior access. The garage comfortably accommodates a large vehicle and offers ample room for tools and garden equipment. Additionally, the existing roof access and structure make the construction of an additional floor architecturally viable and offers an exciting potential for future expansion.
