Property Description
Casa de Oliver is a grand, character-filled Colonial home located in the sought-after San Sebastián neighborhood of Mérida, offering timeless elegance paired with thoughtful modern updates. From the moment you enter, the home welcomes you with a large, refined sitting room featuring classic pasta tile floors, soaring high ceilings, striking iron beams, and built-in closets for storage along with shelves ideal for displaying art or books, all of which highlight its historic charm and architectural beauty.
Flowing naturally from the main living space, a small hall leads to a guest bathroom complete with a shower and delightful 1940s-inspired “morning glory” pasta tiles adorning the walls. The dining room showcases an exotic wood dining table, creating a warm and sophisticated setting for gatherings, while the recently refurbished kitchen offers both style and practicality with a marble-top island, ample storage, and a pantry that includes a washing machine for added convenience.
The principal bedroom, located on the ground floor, provides serene views of the pool and garden, along with a spacious closet-dressing area that leads into a beautifully finished bathroom featuring elegant pasta tile details. This bedroom also connects to a versatile private space that can serve as a study, office, or TV room, and easily function as a fourth bedroom thanks to its double-door access to the front living room. A second sitting room just off the kitchen, enclosed with solid glass doors, fills the home with natural light and offers uninterrupted views of the outdoor areas, enhancing the bright and airy feel throughout.
The garden is both enchanting and low-maintenance, featuring a large pool with pump and filter, surrounded by a variety of palms, tropical plantings, and carefully arranged potted greenery. This outdoor space is designed to be a peaceful retreat while remaining easy to care for, perfect for enjoying Mérida’s warm climate year-round.
At the rear of the property, a two-story casita provides excellent flexibility, with two independent bedrooms—one on the ground floor and one upstairs—each with separate access. The ground floor includes a shared bathroom with a open air shower and a cozy sitting area, while the upper level features a convenient kitchenette ideal for preparing breakfast or coffee without entering the main house.
Ideally situated just one and a half blocks from San Sebastián Park and seven blocks from Santiago Park, this home offers both tranquility and proximity to some of Mérida’s most beloved areas. Additional features include six solar panels, a biodigester system, a private well alongside city water, and meticulous maintenance throughout. The property is sold completely furnished, minus a few personal items and select artwork, making Casa de Oliver a truly exceptional and move-in-ready opportunity.
