Perched at an elevation of 660 feet on the exclusive, gated roads of Washington Hill, this exquisite estate epitomizes timeless craftsmanship and offers unparalleled ocean views, encompassing Frederiksted pier, Puerto Rico, Vieques, and Culebra. Designed by the esteemed George Hascup, former Director of Design at Cornell University's School of Architecture, this remarkable residence was constructed between 1997 and 2000.
It features a robust exterior of poured, steel-reinforced concrete and elegant cement block interiors, all set upon over 8 expansive hilltop acres.

The exquisite millwork and treated metal finishes were all installed by Walsh Metal Works. This solar-powered, net-metered home offers the potential for expansion on its existing solar tracks, complemented by an automatic Diesel generator for added resilience.
