ARTIST SANCTUARY
This beautifully maintained tropical retreat is truly an unexpected jewel box — full of surprises. Located in the southwest quadrant of of Merida’s famed Centro Historico, the property offers easily walkable access to the charming church plazas & cafes of San Sebastian, San Juan and La Ermita. Vibrant Parque Santiago with its Mercado, many restaurants and music venues, is 6 short blocks north.
Entering from the street, the vestibule/gallery with its original colonial high ceilings, solid wood vigas and pasta tile floors, already gives you a glimpse of the gardens and the unusually deep lot w/pool. The ground floor layout is a flexible great room format with the open plan kitchen running parallel to the dining area, very convenient for casual entertaining. The current owner has organized the space beyond to include a comfortable sitting area and a studio area, opening onto a shady, covered patio overlooking the sparkling filtered pool. Old stone walls, mature plantings and colorful flowers all contribute to a seductive garden setting, perfect for al fresco dining. The expansive lot currently has a bodega which houses the pump for the pool filtration system, supplies etc. This area could easily allow the construction of an additional freestanding private casita, studio or office area.
Returning indoors, there is a convenient powder room, situated at the base of the attractively tiled staircase. The upper level features two spacious airy bedrooms, each with well appointed en-suite bathrooms and closets. The principal bedroom, at the back of the house, opens onto a lovely private terrace overlooking the pool and the green canopy of mature treetops. The house is newly repainted, showcases handsome handcrafted wood doors with frosted glass inserts, polished cement and pasta tile floors throughout and has AC’s in both bedrooms and a brand new AC in the living room area.
This invitingly unique home is being offered partially furnished, but move-in ready and simply awaits your personal touch. Perfect for year round living, an easy winter getaway house or an investment rental opportunity.
