What makes this villa special are the many preserved authentic details, such as the original tiles, steel-framed windows, wooden frames, and built-in closets. The Shell tropical homes in Julianadorp, Curaçao, were built in the 1960s. These homes were originally developed by the Royal Shell Group for their employees working at the Isla oil refinery in Curaçao. The design of the tropical homes was specifically adapted to Curaçao's climate, with features like good ventilation and protection from the sun.
This original tropical villa was built for comfortable living in the tropics, offering delightful indoor and outdoor spaces. The house has a spacious layout with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, ideal for families or those seeking space and privacy. The villa is situated on a generous corner lot of 1,989 m², with approximately 300 m² of built-up area. This provides ample opportunities for both indoor and outdoor living, with various terraces to enjoy a pleasant spot at any time of the day.
The charming entrance leads to a hallway providing access to the spacious living room, bedrooms, bathrooms, and kitchen. The living room is bright and spacious, thanks to numerous windows with original frames, bay windows, and high ceilings. The living room is also air-conditioned for extra comfort on windless days.
The spacious master bedroom features several built-in closets and an en-suite bathroom equipped with a shower, toilet, and sink. The other two bedrooms are also spacious and share a second bathroom. All bedrooms are air-conditioned. A former maid’s room is currently used as storage but can easily be converted into a guest room or additional bedroom. Additionally, there is a large laundry room with extra storage space, adding further practical possibilities.
The kitchen, less than a year old, is fully equipped with all modern conveniences. With a 5-burner stove, combination oven/microwave, dishwasher, and Quooker, the kitchen offers all the comforts you need. Its spacious layout with ample cabinet space and a large countertop with a bar provides plenty of workspace, perfect for cooking enthusiasts. From the kitchen, you can view the backyard and access the very spacious covered porch, ideal for lounging and entertaining. Beautiful water basins have been architecturally designed here, serving not only for drainage but also creating a unique atmosphere.
In the luscious garden, surrounded by mature tropical plants, you’ll find a large pool – a perfect place to relax and enjoy the outdoors. The villa is located on a spacious corner lot, providing great privacy and plenty of space. Due to its corner location, there’s an additional entrance gate that’s currently not in use. At the main entrance, an automatic gate gives access to the beautifully mature tropical garden. Two ponds are situated near the entrance of the house, further enhancing the tropical ambiance.
The backyard is completely private due to the villa’s L-shaped design. There is plenty of space around the villa for various seating areas, allowing you to enjoy a comfortable spot at any time of day. Additionally, a deep well provides low-cost irrigation for the lush garden.
