COLONIAL GARDEN PARADISE IN MÉRIDA, BARRIO DE SANTIAGO (YPS-02-0034)

Behind the imposing colonial facade of this property in the heart of the popular Barrio de Santiago hides an equally impressive colonial house from the early 19th century, most of which has been preserved in its original state. The facade already reveals one of the many indispensable highlights of this Centro property. The house has a wide and high garage with an electric roller shutter. It offers enough space for a large car or even a truck or minivan.

The very well-preserved colonial living area includes the high beamed ceilings typical of this region and the time of its construction, beautiful, original pasta tiles, and reconditioned original hardwood doors and windows. It comprises the entrance area of the property, the living room, a dining room, the kitchen with an adjoining breakfast area as well as two bedrooms and a toilet.

Over the years of its existence, the colonial living area has been supplemented by additional modern rooms and bathrooms. Another highlight is today’s master bedroom with its en-suite bathroom, great views of the garden, and a stylish outdoor shower. The house has a total of six bedrooms and six bathrooms.

Definitely another highlight and a real surprise is the huge outdoor area of this property. The approx. 1,300 m2 (13,983 ft2) property, which was created by merging three lots into one unit, houses a garden, which is huge for the historic city center, with beautiful mature trees that provide pleasant shade. The garden also includes the beautifully landscaped pool area with a covered terrace and sun deck. In the rear right area of the property, there is a non-planted extension, which is ideal for building a two-story casita. After consulting the owner, it can be stated that the possibilities for expanding the property are generally very good. Only the colonial area in the front is subject to the requirements of the monument protection authority. At the rear of the property, there are hardly any limits to the imagination of the new owners.

The size of the entire property in connection with its elegant colonial attributes, the green garden with the beautiful pool area, and the great location in the heart of the popular Centro neighborhood Santiago, allow numerous possibilities for its use. In addition, the purchase of this property is made attractive by the possibility of owner financing announced by the owner.
