PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

This remarkable property combines the best of two architectural worlds, creating a residence unlike anything else currently available in Mérida Centro. From the street, the home presents itself as a stylish Mid-Century Modern tropical bungalow, reminiscent of the relaxed elegance found in Palm Springs and 1950s Florida. Clean horizontal lines, generous, covered spaces, mature landscaping, and a welcoming arrival experience immediately set the tone.

Behind this distinctive façade, the property unfolds into a surprisingly expansive estate centered around a lush garden oasis. Here, colonial influences take over through a magnificent L-shaped arcade terrace featuring graceful arches, soaring wooden beamed ceilings, colorful pasta tiles, and inviting spaces for dining, entertaining, and relaxation. The terrace creates a seamless transition between the front residence and the private casita at the rear while framing beautiful views of the landscaped grounds.

The heart of the property is the stunning garden with its large Chukum-finished swimming pool, sunbathing lawn, covered bar area, fountain, and abundant tropical vegetation. Thoughtfully designed for both privacy and social gatherings, the outdoor spaces evoke the atmosphere of a boutique hotel while maintaining the warmth of a family home.

Inside, seven generously sized bedroom suites, tasteful furnishings, skylights, polished cement floors, natural stone accents, Chukum walls, and carefully selected decorative elements create a sophisticated yet comfortable living environment. Whether envisioned as a spacious family compound, a luxury vacation rental, or a charming boutique hospitality business, this property offers exceptional flexibility, character, and investment potential in one of Mérida’s most sought-after neighborhoods.
