Overview
Description
Most homes in Dorado Beach East are sleek and contemporary, more gallery than home. 397 was remodeled with something warmer in mind. It reads like a summer house on the Northeast coast, the kind that feels lived in, set among the palms of Dorado.
The home offers 3,526 sq ft of interior space, with wood-look tile laid in herringbone. The dining room rises a full two stories, with tall windows and two beaded chandeliers overhead. A sitting room with built-in shelving looks out to the patio and lap pool. The kitchen is made for daily use: natural oak cabinetry, glossy beveled subway tile to the ceiling, open shelving, a Wolf rangetop with a pot filler, double wall ovens, a wine refrigerator and an island, with a breakfast nook and office area alongside. Upstairs are three bedrooms, each with its own bath, and a laundry room. One bath pairs a freestanding tub with travertine walls and a rain shower. On the ground floor, a separate room with a full bath and its own entrance stands apart from the main house. Approved plans and permits are in place for an expansion of about 2,000 sq ft. The plans add two bedrooms with baths, an additional bath, an office, a media room, a flex room and a larger primary suite. French doors open to a covered terrace with lounge and dining areas under woven pendant lights. A travertine deck surrounds a heated saltwater lap pool, with an outdoor shower, a half bath, and a built-in grill with an outdoor sink. The property is fully fenced. A generator, a cistern, 5-stage water filtration, central A/C with mini-splits, a 2-car garage and covered golf cart parking are in place. The lot measures 1,013 sq m (0.26 cuerdas). The home is move-in ready. Dorado Beach East is a gated beachside community inside the 1,400-acre Dorado Beach Resort, home to Dorado Beach, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve. It has 24-hour security, a clubhouse, a fitness center and parks. Golf, beaches, pools, tennis, the spa and restaurants are a golf cart ride away, with Dorado Beach membership available separately. San Juan is about 30 minutes by car.
