Ask a questionAbout Laura Fraser
Laura first came to San Miguel de Allende with her family when she was ten years old, to learn a little Spanish and a different culture (smart parents!). It was a wonderful childhood experience that made her forever interested in languages and travel. When she returned to SMA in 2007, she fell back in love with the magical town and bought a run-down lot in the Centro on an impulse. Everyone thought she was crazy, until a year later, when they saw the amazing house she'd built with her architect and friend, Anja Fauske.
Laura Fraser purchased this House in 2008
Why Laura Fraser chose Zona Centro
Location, location, location. Casita Laurita is on one of San Miguel's best streets--Calle Loreto. It runs through the artisan market, is convenient to the design center, and three blocks to the jardin in the center of town. It's a great location, and yet retains an authentic feeling of Mexico. It's wonderful to be right near the market and to live on a small, curving street with little traffic.
What makes this House unique
I built this house to my aesthetic and practical tastes, with a lot of light and indoor-outdoor living. The house is comfortable and relaxing, with three terraces, and the top has a protected, splendid view of all of San Miguel. The office is beautiful, and a wonderful place to work, with an extensive lending library. Flowering plants on all floors, everything simple and elegant, and the kitchen has all the tools (sharp knives! Le Creuset!) a cook could desire. The neighbors are friendly and there has not been a robbery on my street in 30 years. I always feel safe walking around by myself at night. Please note that this house is not for people who have mobility challenges, as there are a lot of stairs. This also isn't the house for you if you require a large livingroom with a giant TV.
