Description
For sale is the wonderful and historic Casa Linares, located in the district of San Felipe, more specifically in the Casco Viejo sector. This large corner house was built by Dr. Oscar Terán, a controversial figure a century ago for his harsh criticism of Panama's separation from Colombia. The house's facade has a certain monumental air, defined by double-height pilasters. These transform the second floor into a kind of attic, an impression reinforced by the continuous balcony, which appears only on this level. The decoration (mixtilinear frames, panel-shaped slats) is abundant, although modest and almost academic compared to other residences of that time. In the early 1970s, the property was acquired by Martin Moynihan and Olga Linares, well-known scientists, who restored it while maintaining the original wooden structure. The house has a total land area of 606.77 square meters, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a balcony, a terrace, a laundry area, and a roof terrace.
