DESCRIPTION
Recently featured on Yucatan Living’s “Houses of Merida” video series, this contemporary casa blends Midcentury style with Mexican details to create a home unlike anything else in the historic center of Merida. Three blocks to Santiago Park and an easy walk to the Plaza Grande, behind a dramatic stone and wood façade you will find two completely separate living spaces, a 1200 sq ft (110 m2) main floor “owner’s suite” and a 650 sq ft (60 m2) second floor “guest suite”, both with private entrances. The main floor owner’s suite is entered via an exterior walkway flanked by potted palms. This walkway allows wonderful air flow throughout the main floor. Upon entering the open plan living space you are greeted by a beautiful kitchen of sleek hardwood cabinetry and shelving, concrete counters, trough sink and a bold antique tile backsplash. A walk-in pantry affords plenty of extra storage space. Two walls of glass in the adjoining light-filled living area create a seamless flow from indoor space to outdoor space. A stone feature wall on the large covered terrace highlights the outdoor dining room and the comfortable lounge area overlooks the generous plunge pool, private rear garden and master bedroom casita. Inside the glass-walled casita, the master bedroom has double closets and an ensuite bath with a hardwood vanity and dual vessel sinks. The oversized rain shower features a dramatic tiled wall and raised ceiling with clerestory window. The large guest room in the front of the home adjoins a uniquely laid-out bath that serves as both powder room and ensuite, also with oversized rain shower. The laundry room has an entrance from the garden, just steps from the master bedroom. And the garage, large enough for a suv, has plenty of extra storage space. The guest suite is reached via a dramatic staircase and large terrace. An open concept living/dining/kitchen area overlooks the terrace while the rear of the unit contains the spacious bedroom with ensuite laundry and the bath with marble and glass mosaic tile and glass shower enclosure. This upper level is completely separated from the lower level allowing both units full privacy. This home offers fantastic income potential with a current combined weekly rental of up to $1300 US. All furnishings in the home can be purchased if desired.
