Two-story house with a gabled zinc roof in Hacienda Dos Ríos in Maricao. The first floor is covered with wood. To the far right, there are concrete stairs with a metallic railing and a door.

On that same level, double wooden doors and a large balcony surrounded by a concrete balustrade that is sustained by columns are visible.
