It is not common in today´s market to find in downtown property that meets so many buyer´s requirements: a beautiful and wide facade, a separate entrance for cars, fabulous bones, a good location and a very large lot ( measuring approx. 17 x 65 meters). This historic mansion is located on a very good block in San Cristóbal, which in its one of the areas with the highest added value in the historic center of Mérida. In recent times many houses nearby have been sold and remodeled into beautiful architectural jewels in this part of San Cristobal, which is one of the most historical and traditional “colonias” of the city. This home has a magnificent, unrestored colonial facade with a central doorway flanked by a large window on each side; next door is a very wide entryway that serves as garage entrance (perfect for delivery of materials and machinery during restoration) that further connects to a large open, interior arcade; this arcade, although being a later addition to the original colonial house, has high-ceilings and is sympathetic with the original architecture so may be used to create an extraordinary inner-courtyard that can be transformed into the featured space of the home. The original construction itself consists of 3 very large rooms in addition to a smaller one at the far end which is currently being used as the kitchen by the actual owners. All rooms have very high ceilings, iron and wooden beams, as well as pasta tile floors. Towards the back of the property is the huge garden which is basically an open space with several trees that could allow many types of construction to create a much larger dwelling being either a high-end residence or a boutique hotel. Please note that the dollar price approximates the true asking price of $11,950,000 Mexican pesos and therefore subject to change.
