1436 ESTRELLA , San Juan, PR 00907

One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Tucked into the quieter, southern stretch of Condado’s Washington Street—where the rhythm slows just enough to allow reprieve from the thrum of oceanfront glamour—is a rare find: a fully remodeled three-bedroom, two-bath apartment that strikes a balance between urban convenience and modern design within a classic mid-century shell. Built in 1962, the building is part of Condado’s original wave of vertical living—an era marked by subtle elegance and clean lines—and this unit brings that legacy forward with a contemporary twist. Gutted to the studs and reimagined with wide-format matte porcelain tile flooring, sleek white cabinetry, polished neutral-toned quartz countertops, and full glass stackable balcony doors, the apartment feels airy, bright, and quietly sophisticated. The finishes are trendy yet understated, allowing a future owner to channel the spirit of mid-century modern with furnishings that echo the building’s roots.

What truly elevates this unit beyond the aesthetics, however, is its livability. The building itself may be modest in stature and without lavish amenities, but it surprises where it counts: a full power generator and a water cistern serving the entire structure—rare commodities in this price range that transform daily living from uncertain to seamless. A covered parking space just steps from the entrance (a thoughtful touch when the tropical skies open up) and the unit’s position on a tranquil street with easy ingress and egress round out a lifestyle of low-stress city living. It’s that rare Condado blend of privacy, practicality, and design-forward charm, shielded from the density of the hotel corridor yet effortlessly walkable to cafés, grocery stores, and the area’s most essential destinations.

At $475,000, it’s a compelling proposition. Inventory for three-bedroom apartments in Condado with parking, full backup power, and contemporary upgrades is virtually nonexistent below the half-million-dollar mark. This residence—arguably the most attractive unit in its building—delivers exactly that: a fully renovated, move-in-ready space that honors its mid-century bones while offering all the modern essentials for an elevated urban lifestyle. On a street known for its name more than its noise, this is where design meets discretion.
