Luxurious Obraje Home with Views from all Living Areas in San Miguel de Allende

Expansive views from inside as well as from terraces on three
levels. The living room has an L-shaped sofa framing the
fireplace is a perfect place for conversation, reading, listening to
music or watching the good size TV kept tucked away inside an
armoire.
The large and well-appointed kitchen with black cantera stone
counters and dark wood cabinetry is open to the living-dining area
so the cook can keep up with the conversation. Through a glass door
off the kitchen, there is an intimate courtyard with a tiled
fountain, perfect for morning coffee.
Upstairs the luxury-sized master suite has a private balcony through
two sets of French doors, walk-through designer closet with built-in
drawers to the master bath with travertine tumbled marble walls,
double sinks, soaking tub and separate shower. Wake up to the view
of the mountains from bed, or step outside to the balcony to see
city views and to see occasional late evening fireworks at El Jardin!
The second bedroom is smaller but full of charm and has views of the
hills, with a bathroom (travertine tumbled marble)next door.
The central area on the second level has a desk, ergonomic chair and
wireless high speed internet hookup.
The tile roof terrace has panoramic views of SMA & countryside.
Great for sunbathing or star-gazing on the chaise lounges.
The huge basement with 20' high ceilings is all white with handsome
columns and has both natural and artificial light, making it a
phenomenal artist's studio, or whatever!
The house is located on a quiet street with no thru traffic in
the peaceful friendly neighborhood of Obraje, right next to El
Centro. Just 5 minute walk to the exciting Fabrica La Aurora
galleries, artist studios, restaurants, antique & designer shops. A
15-20 minute mostly-level charming stroll to El Jardin, passing
through a gorgeous old hacienda, by the daily farmers' market, the
artisans' market and through two other beautiful plazas.
Here's what one guest wrote us:
"We had an absolutely fabulous time. In our 20 years together, I
think this was our best vacation ever. Being in your beautiful,
luxurious home was such a delight, and being in San Miguel was like
walking into an open heart."
