We love everything about San Miguel, but at night we like to sleep! Now we have all the fun and excitement this beautiful city has to offer AND a peaceful and luxurious retreat away from the noise and congestion. We were lucky to discover the smallest and most secret of all SMA neighborhoods: Obraje. It's just beyond the fray but an easy stroll into Centro; just high enough for great views, but there's only one steep block, not a mountain climbing adventure to get home! This older and 'up and coming' neighborhood is a delightful mix of Mexican families and US artists.
Our spacious home has expansive views from inside as well as from terraces on three levels. The living room has a cushy L-shaped sofa framing the fireplace and the view out the French doors – a perfect place for conversation, reading, listening to music or watching the good size TV kept tucked away inside an armoire.
The large and well-appointed kitchen with black cantera stone
counters and dark wood cabinetry is open to the living-dining area
so the cook can keep up with the conversation. Through a glass door off the kitchen, there is an intimate courtyard with a tiled
fountain, perfect for morning coffee.
Upstairs the luxury-sized master suite has a private balcony through two sets of French doors, oversized upholstered easy chairs with ottoman, walk-through designer closet with built-in drawers to the master bath with travertine tumbled marble walls, double sinks, soaking tub and separate shower. Wake up to the view of the mountains from bed, or step outside to the balcony to see city views and to see late evening fireworks at El Jardin!
The second bedroom is small but full of charm and has views of the hills, with a bathroom (travertine tumbled marble)next door.
The central area on the second level has a desk, ergonomic chair, wireless high speed internet hookup and the Vonage phone.
The tile roof terrace has panoramic views of SMA & countryside.
Great for sunbathing or star-gazing on the chaise lounges.
The huge basement with 20' high ceilings is all white with handsome columns and has both natural and artificial light, making it a phenomenal artist's studio, or whatever!
The house is located on a quiet street with no thru traffic in
the peaceful friendly neighborhood of Obraje, right next to El
Centro. Just 5 minute walk to the exciting Fabrica La Aurora
galleries, artist studios, restaurants, antique & designer shops. A 15-20 minute mostly-level charming stroll to El Jardin, passing
through a gorgeous old hacienda, by the daily farmers' market, the
artisans' market and through two other beautiful plazas. |
