Description
The History: Today, I want to share an extraordinary story with you. The story of Casa Museo Costa Rica dates back to the early 20th century. Originally built by the Gurdián Agüerofamily, this residence embodied the elegant architectural style of urban homes in Barrio Amón at the time. In the 1960s, Mireya Gurdián Agüero, born on December 7, 1916, and daughter of the original owners, would go on to become a pioneering advocate for women's education and a celebrated painter. By 1964, Mireya made a bold move—she reimagined the home's façade, introducing exquisite detailing and an innovative use of volume. Drawing inspiration from English, French, American, and Aztec architecture, she created a unique synthesis of styles, resulting in a truly "sui generis" architectural statement. Fast forward… In 2011, the house was saved from demolition by a Belgian couple, painter Natahalie Robin and restorer/designer Jean Marc. Their vision was to meticulously restore this architectural treasure and give life to what we now know as Casa Museo. It took four years of dedicated craftsmanship to revive its original splendor, while subtly infusing a modern touch—always preserving the home's soul and authenticity. Without question, this property is a masterpiece—a rare architectural gem in Barrio Amón, making it impressive, remarkable, and utterly captivating. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity—whether as an exclusive residence or a prestigious commercial landmark. ? Check Out What Casa Museo Has to Offer: ??
