Own a piece of Curaçao's architectural heritage. This 19th-century Scharloo-style monument sits on Berg Altena, just steps from the neighborhood's iconic row of colorful historic houses in Willemstad, a UNESCO-recognized inner city.
Designated for its architectural and cultural-historical value, this grand urban dwelling showcases the classic Curaçao layout: a central core area (zaal) flanked by front and rear galleries, opening onto a fully enclosed patio. The composite hipped roofline, cornices across every façade, corner pilasters, and a full-width front terrace with original low stone walls and stone benches reflect the craftsmanship of its era.
The property offers 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms across the main house and a separate two-level backyard apartment. The backyard apartment includes an open kitchen, dining area, and downstairs bathroom. Additional kitchen areas, storage, and utility spaces are located at the rear of the main structure.
The property has 292 m² of living space on a 580 m² lot. It has protected monument status as part of UNESCO's preserved historic townscape. Currently offered as a fixer-upper, this property presents an opportunity to restore a piece of Willemstad's story as a private residence, boutique guesthouse, or income property in one of the island's historic districts.
