Artful Living in Santiago | Restored Historic Main House + Modern Addition
Located in the highly desirable Santiago neighborhood of Mérida Centro, just one block from the vibrant Santiago Market, this meticulously maintained three-bedroom, three-bath residence offers a refined balance of contemporary modern design and enduring colonial character.
From the moment you enter, the eye is drawn through expansive sliding glass doors and windows to the garden and large inground pool beyond. Natural light fills the home, creating a sense of openness while maintaining warmth and proportion.
The principal living spaces feel both generous and comfortable with historic features such as high ceilings, pasta tile floors, and restored original wooden doors. A newly renovated spacious kitchen, centered around an island for casual meals, transitions effortlessly into the formal dining room and living area. Clean architectural lines and large windows frame views of the lush outdoor setting, allowing the interior and exterior to feel quietly connected — ideal foreveryday living and relaxed gatherings. Outside, mature tropical landscaping and a crema maya stone terrace frame the large, filtered pool, offering privacy and a tranquil atmosphere. The outdoor living space, with generous seating and dining areas, is thoughtfully scaled and naturally extends the home’s interior — equally suited to peaceful mornings or evening entertaining. A covered roof deck provides views of the Merida Cathedral and the church at Santiago Square, and the cityscape beyond.
At the rear of the property, connected by a covered walkway, a modern addition includes two spacious independent one-bedroom, one-bath suites, designed to provide flexibility for guests or private retreats and, to maintain separation from the main residence. A third bedroom with ensuite bath is located off the living area. An oversized one-car garage with room for storage adds practicality and security — a valuable feature in Centro living.
Offered turn-key and fully furnished, with a stunning collection of contemporary Mexican art, folk art and photography, this home is an art collector’s dream. The home reflects high-quality construction and unique design features by noted architect Omar Fuentes and thoughtful upkeep throughout. It is move-in ready and can be enjoyed immediately, with cafés, restaurants, galleries, shopping, and the Santiago Market all within easy walking distance.
A residence defined by light, proportion, and engaging design —strategically positioned in the heart of Santiago.
