Kaya Amsterdam 24, Santa Rosa

Distinctive Architect-Designed Residence with Guest Apartment, Pool and Development Potential in Santa Rosa

This distinctive detached residence at Kaya Amsterdam 24 in Santa Rosa is situated on a generous double lot of approximately 2,190 m² and includes a separate one-bedroom guest apartment, a large swimming pool, garage facilities and multiple storage areas. The residence was designed and built by Russian architect Serge Alexenko and is featured in Een eeuw architectuur by Ronald Gill, a publication documenting a century of architecture in Curaçao.

In addition to its current use as a private residence, the double lot offers interesting potential for further development. The combination of the existing residence and the adjoining second parcel makes the property attractive not only for private use, but also for a buyer looking to explore rental or redevelopment opportunities. Potential concepts include a boutique hospitality property geared toward short-term rentals or a small-scale residential development with multiple apartments for long-term rental. The existing residence could serve as the foundation for either concept, while the second parcel provides room for further expansion. Any development potential is subject to applicable regulations and required approvals and permits.

The residence is arranged over two living levels plus a lower level. The main level features a covered entrance porch, living room, dining area and kitchen. This level also includes a bedroom, an open space currently suitable as a TV or family room, a powder room and under-stair storage. At the rear of the residence is a spacious covered terrace overlooking and connecting directly to the swimming pool.

A separate one-bedroom apartment is located on the left side of the residence and includes a bedroom, bathroom and private covered terrace. The apartment provides flexibility for guests or extended family and could also serve as an existing independent rental unit within a future investment strategy.

The upper level features three bedrooms, including a spacious primary bedroom with access to a private outdoor balcony and an enclosed balcony area. This level also includes a large bathroom, a second bathroom, a mezzanine and a central hallway. The lower level includes an attached garage and additional storage areas. A second garage is located beneath the large rear terrace.

The outdoor area features a large swimming pool with an outdoor shower. To the right of the residence is an additional structure with a covered carport, pump equipment and a bathroom/changing area serving the pool. The property also has two deep wells, one of which is equipped with a pump system.

The residence is favorably oriented toward the prevailing trade winds and benefits from natural cross-ventilation. All windows and exterior frames were replaced in 2025. The property has a spacious driveway and multiple access gates.

The main level, including the apartment and covered porches, measures approximately 194 m². The upper level measures approximately 126 m², while the garage and storage areas on the lower level total approximately 57 m².

The generous double lot also offers potential for further development. The existing residence can be renovated and modernized while retaining its distinctive architectural character and the property’s spacious layout. The second parcel could then provide room to expand a future rental or development concept. Several properties in the immediate surrounding area have already been adapted, expanded or developed to accommodate multiple residential units.

From an investment perspective, two potential strategies stand out. One is the transformation of the existing residence into a small-scale boutique hospitality concept, using the residence and second parcel together for short-term rentals. The other is the development of multiple apartments within the existing structure, supplemented by new residential units on the second parcel, with a focus on long-term rentals.

The property therefore offers flexibility for private use, guest accommodation, rental income or further development. The final development potential, number of potential rental units and specific use must be further assessed and are subject to applicable regulations, planning and building requirements, technical feasibility and required approvals and permits.
