A home with history, character and a complete modern renovation. Once part of the Oliver family, this distinctive Arecibo property has a connection to renowned Puerto Rican painter Jose R. Oliver (1901-1979), an Arecibo native who became the first director of Puerto Rico's Escuela de Artes Plasticas. The property preserves beautiful original hydrolic tile (loza criolla) while offering the comfort of extensive updates throughout. It consists of a 4-bedroom, 2-bath main house plus a newly built private cottage with 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, kitchen and living area--ideal for guests, extended family or additional income potential. Improvements include new electrical and plumbing systems, aluminum windows and doors, PVC kitchen cabinetry, appliances, light fixtures, A/C units throughout, a generator with automatic transfer switch, and a newly finished patio area. Offered move-in ready. Located on a well-kept residential street approximately 700 meters from the ocean, within walking distance of Arecibo's oceanfront promenade, restaurants and cafes, and near the surf breaks that have made this coastline known for international surfing competitions. Conveniently located approximately 2 minutes from PR-2 and 6 minutes from the expressway. A unique opportunity to own a piece of Arecibo's character and history with the versatility of a separate private cottage.
