Condo in 656 Miramar Ave #8C San Juan for sale with MLS# PR9124777

Set on the northwest corner of a classic midcentury building on Avenida Miramar, this eighth-floor residence features a sophisticated renovation, exceptional natural light and a beautifully proportioned interior. Built in 1962, Miramar 656 maintains much of its original character while incorporating significant upgrades, including a full-power generator, water cistern, renovated lobby and two modern elevators. The front door of the residence gives way to an ample foyer and an open floor plan that feels composed, bright and effortless. Light streams in from three different exposures, giving the home an expansive feel. Large glass windows reveal tropical greenery and far-reaching views of Miramar, San Juan Bay and the Atlantic beyond. Water views are visible from every room, giving the apartment a welcome sense of openness above the city. Fully renovated in 2024 in collaboration with a local architect, the space features updated flooring, sleek finishes, modern appliances and mini-split A/Cs throughout. The distinct areas of the home flow naturally into one another, while retaining a clear sense of separation and purpose. The renovation follows an organic modern palette of crisp whites, soft creams, textured grays and warm wood tones. In the kitchen, clean lines and integrated appliances preserve a streamlined look, while the living and dining areas feature understated, minimalist furnishings that bring warmth and softness to the space. Both bedrooms are positioned on corners, with windows along two walls and built-in closet space. The two full bathrooms feature floating vanities, subtle finishes and spacious showers. Lighting, curtains, plants, artwork and textiles complement the architecture throughout the space, resulting in a home that feels cohesive and intentional, with each element contributing to the overall atmosphere. The contemporary residence is set within a condominium that feels distinctly Miramar. Tropical midcentury architecture, terrazzo flooring and decorative breeze blocks give the building a residential character that is increasingly uncommon in newer construction. With only three apartments per floor and thirty residences in total, the building maintains a sense of privacy and discretion. Avenida Miramar is one of the neighborhood's most established residential streets, with much of daily life within walking distance. Well-known establishments such as Pueblo Supermarket, Fine Arts Cinema, Perpetuo Socorro School and Banco Popular are just minutes away on foot, along with a wide selection of cafés, bakeries and restaurants. The surrounding streets are lined with mature trees and an architectural mix of Spanish Revival homes, historic twentieth-century residences and modernist condominiums. The nearby Condado Lagoon offers opportunities to practice watersports, such as kayaking and paddleboarding, as well as a scenic promenade that links Miramar to Condado and Old San Juan by foot or bicycle. Convenient access to the city's main avenues and highways places the greater San Juan metropolitan area within easy reach. Thoughtful design, modern amenities and a walkable setting come together at this residence that feels both polished and highly livable.
