This residence is located on Beatrixlaan, within walking distance of the International School, the music school and the Curaçao Golf & Squash Club. Its central location provides easy access to supermarkets, shops and other daily amenities, all just a few minutes away by car. Originally built by Shell, the residence was completely renovated in 2006 under the architectural direction of Atelier Lobo & Raymann. The apartment was added in 2007 and was also designed by the same architectural firm. Set on a spacious 1,490 m² leasehold lot surrounded by lush greenery, the property has a distinct tropical character and a practical, well-designed layout. Throughout the home, ceilings of nearly four metres create a strong sense of space and openness. In addition to traditional shutter windows and doors, the property has ventilation louvers that allow for continuous natural airflow. Opening the shutters, sliding doors and French doors allows the Caribbean trade winds to flow through the home. When the large sliding doors and French doors are fully opened, the indoor and outdoor living areas blend into one expansive living space. Adjacent to the living room is a porch with custom-built seating. The entire home is finished with Surinamese hardwood parquet flooring. The spacious kitchen has a large cooking island, generous storage space and built-in appliances, and connects to the covered outdoor dining area on the porch. The original tiled floor complements the hardwood flooring, window frames and doors. The generous covered porch offers space for both a dining area and a lounge. It overlooks the tropical garden with a lawn, mature trees, tropical plants and a large swimming pool. The saltwater pool has a sunny position in the garden, is low-maintenance and gentle on the skin. Its water has a soft, natural feel, and the entire pool system has recently been renewed. An outdoor shower is available beside the pool, and a recently constructed palapa provides a private place to relax. A deep well supplies water for the property and helps reduce water consumption. The garden has a drip irrigation system that also uses deep well water. On the exterior of the home there is a guest toilet and a spacious storage room. The main residence offers four bedrooms and a generously sized bathroom. One bedroom is currently used as a home office, and all bedrooms have air conditioning. The separate apartment has its own living room, bedroom and bathroom.
