History, Quality and Grace Come Together in Centro
If you dream of living in Centro, you must see this exquisitely restored home that's just blocks from the Parroquia and less than a block from Parque Juarez. The view to the Parroquia from the front door is perhaps the most representative image of the magic which is San Miguel de Allende. This property dates back 250 years and was once a home and stable. The cantera steps that lead into the inviting vestibule are original, as is the tile roof above the stable-turned-bedroom. During the renovation construction drawings for the Parroquia were found scribbled on the walls! The main floor is a study in graceful living with indoors flowing to outdoors. There is a large eat-in kitchen with fireplace, formal dining room, living room with wonderful cantera fireplace and french doors on three sides leading to two lovely patio areas, one a barbeque area and the second perfect for relaxing in front of the fountain, and to the gracious outdoor sala complete with a massive cantera fireplace and wet bar. Completing the ground floor is an ample downstairs bedroom with ensuite bath and fireplace. A graceful staircase lighted by a large skylight, leads to the second floor which houses the master suite with cantera fireplace, ensuite bath and a large terrace, another large bedroom with ensuite bath, an office/possible 4th bedroom, another full bath and the laundry room. An outdoor staircase takes you from the second floor to the wonderful rooftop terrace, with two sitting areas and a wonderful cactus garden. Extras include solar hot water heater and abundant storage. But, of course, the incalculable extra is living in a dream home in the heart of Centro. This is truly a house you must see to appreciate -- no photograph could do it justice. Call for a showing today.
