This colorful, charming home cleverly combines Mexican style and appeal, with comfortable modern conveniences. The inviting corner location is perfectly situated in Colonia Santiago within walking distance to Centro Historico, Santa Ana, Santa Lucia and Merida’s emblematic Paseo Montejo. Immediately close by, Santiago’s celebrated traditional market welcomes you with many stalls offering everything from farm fresh eggs to tropical flowers, and more fruit & vegetable assortments than you could desire. Surrounding the market, the church and the plaza, are numerous cafes and bakeries, providing a wide variety of refreshments and dining choices!
Entering the house, every visitor is captivated by the light, and the pleasing palette of colors, handmade tiles, traditional finishes and local artwork. The inviting living room includes a flexible arrangement of comfortable seating options, ideal for entertaining or relaxing with a good book. Adjacent to the living room is a spacious dining room, showcasing a spectacular hand carved dining table with matching chairs, set to accommodate 6. The ornately tiled traditional kitchen includes a 6 burner cooktop, refrigerator, double sink, microwave and oven. The layout of the house offers optimal privacy for each of the 2 spacious bedrooms, both with attractive en-suite bathrooms. From the primary bedroom, there is direct access to a large and very magical covered patio, with a delightful water feature, lush tropical greenery and the sparkling dipping pool beyond. A artfully conceived spiral staircase in one corner of the patio accesses the fully finished roof terrace, perfect for sunbathing or enjoying Merida’s celebrated sunsets.
The property has been a very successful rental for several years; however, the layout, amenities and location would also make it an ideal winter getaway or long term retirement house. It is being offered fully furnished, with only the personal items of the seller not included.
