PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

Set in one of Mérida Centro’s most desirable residential neighborhoods, this beautifully restored colonial home combines authentic Yucatecan character with the comfort and functionality expected of a modern residence.

The main house welcomes you with a traditional colonial façade and interiors rich in character. Colorful pasta tiles, exposed natural stone walls, and more than 100-year-old cedar doors and closets create a distinctive sense of history. The natural stone walls are particularly attractive not only for their texture and authenticity, but also for their thermal mass, helping interiors remain more stable and comfortable in Mérida’s warm climate. Air conditioning and ceiling fans throughout add modern comfort.

The main level includes a generous living/reception area, TV room, fully equipped kitchen with dining area and walk-in pantry, full bathroom and half bathroom, plus a large partly covered terrace overlooking the garden. Upstairs, a private apartment-style bedroom suite features a kitchenette, walk-in closet, full bathroom and balcony with lovely views across the garden.

At the rear, the modern two-story guest casita provides two remarkably similar independent apartments. Each offers an open living and sleeping area, kitchenette, air conditioning, large walk-in closet and full bathroom. Large windows and a central light shaft provide excellent natural illumination.

Outside, a fully walled garden creates a private oasis in the heart of Centro, centered around a large Chukum-finished pool. With its flexible accommodation and multiple independent living areas, the property is equally compelling as a private residence, multi-generational home, or income-generating rental property.
