Colonial, Gem, Casita Included! Centro! in San Miguel de Allende

New Listing - Welcome to Casa Lucia... A Simple Beauty

"ALL ON ONE FLOOR LIVING" POSSIBLE with Casita and Main House combination!

Renovation - We are celebrating the newely released (April 2008) Rizzoli coffee table book "Casa San
Miguel" by Annie Kelly, since our Casa Lucia closely mirrors two of the most authentic colonial
homes showcased in this beautiful book. Compare these two featured colonials to our recently
restored colonial Casa Lucia, and you will notice many striking similarities in handcrafted design
details, centuries-old style and original authentic effects.

Architecture - Casa Lucia, where, inside of four protecting Stone walls, you will find hidden a
world unto itself, an elegantly refined colonial, an architectural gem with charming indoor spaces
and gracious outdoor living areas. When you open the door to Casa Lucia and step into the welcoming
entry portico, you will be looking down a stone walk way, lined with plants that leads to a central
courtyard filled with greenery, outdoor seating and a lovely fountain. Four large sets of glass
French doors to your right usher you in to the living room, dining room, and kitchen respectively.
These doors flood the interior of the house with light illuminating the smallest details of the
meticulously restored rooms including stone fireplaces, hand made furniture, old persian rugs, thick
walls and hand finished aged mesquite beams throughout. Throw open all the sets of French doors for
a true indoor/outdoor feel or, in chilly weather pull the doors closed behind you and light up the
gas fireplaces for a more intimate feel. All these elements come together to compliment the
exquisite beauty of Casa Lucia, and guests are delighted by the pleasing and relaxing atmosphere and
convenient Centro location that this outstanding property offers.

Wi_Fi - Casa Lucia takes advantage of modern convenience with high-speed Internet/Wi-Fi, Bose
radio/CD, VCR/DVD, cable, Vonage for unlimited free calls to the US/Canada, convenient Safe Box in
each bedroom.

Kitchen - Gourmet kitchen boasts a 6 burner professional chef stove and polished cement counters
throughout. Center island is great for preparing meals, informal eating, gatherings and
entertaining. Kitchen is spacious and open to dining room and courtyard. Truly an inspirational room
for many wonderful meals...

Dining Room and Living Room - Two striking rooms with open floor plans and large archways deliver
the vision of elegant, classic and timeless colonial style. The rooms center on comfortable hand-
made dining and living room furniture and feature stone fireplaces, unique chandeliers, vintage
persian rugs, aged mesquite beams, thick walls and several glass french doors.

Outdoor Living Room- Take advantage of the gracious Outdoor Sala with clay tile roof and stone
walls, authentic old columns, mesquite beams and hand-carved furniture.

Bedrooms - Both bedroom suites are located up a comfortable, graceful stone stairway rising from the
courtyard. Separate entrances to the bedrooms increase privacy and give the rooms a feel of
intimacy. Bedroom suites feature custom designed iron beds, fine linens, new pillow-top mattresses,
ample closet space, cozy chairs, safe boxes, working fireplaces, aged beams, and mesquite french
doors with screen louvers that can be opened or closed to the terrace as you desire. The master
bedroom is graced with its own sun-filled terrace and bamboo shade roof with comfortable chaise and
seating. Great place to relax!

Bathrooms - Each bedroom affords the luxury of its own private bathroom with charming mesquite
window. These bathrooms are completely restored by local craftsmen, the traditional 'polished
cement' as the finish of choice for the hand shaped sinks, counters, walls, and soaking tubs with
showers... Also, for convenience on the ground floor, under the magnificent stone steps, there is a
unique, beautiful hand-built 'guest' bathroom that luxuriates in polished cement detail and crystal
sconces.

Casita - Charming Casita echoes the main house in colonial design, style and decor. Main Room
