PRICE-REDUCED FROM $239,000 TO ALLOW FOR ADDITIONS [SEE PHOTOS]-- RESTORED 3-BEDROOM HOUSE WITH POOL IN MERIDA, YUCATANThis newly remodeled 2,750 square foot [ 260m2], 3 bedroom/2 full bathroom old colonial house on a 3,500 square foot [320m2] piece of land is located on the highly sought-after Calle 66, the street that is the center of the most interesting revitalization of the Historic Center of Merida. The President of the Patronage of the Historical Center of Merida is now rebuilding completely the San Juan Park [restaurants, cultural events, shops, buses and taxi stands] which is one block away. The house is also only 4 blocks from the main square, and 2 blocks the ADO bus station for Cancun and Playa del Carmen. Because of its beauty and location, the house has very good rental income potential [think 150 nights a year or more at $200 a night!]Pausing in the entrance foyer with its wall sconces and view of the center courtyard, there is a large room to your right which is either a bedroom or living room/ study/ TV room/library. Going on through the foyer you enter the formal dining room which flows through to the center inner courtyard with columns, water garden and fountain, lights throughout, and a view of the rear garden through the kitchen. To the right of the dining room is the first en-suite bedroom that includes a guest entrance into the big bathroom from the covered corridor around the courtyard. Off this courtyard is the second en-suite bedroom, and its bathroom has a doorway that opens onto the pool area. You then pass through into the kitchen onto the covered pool terrace with columns that surrounds the 30 foot x 9 foot lighted and filtered pool, the garden, and the cascade waterfall that covers the wall made of beautiful rose-colored Ticul stone. This totally private and secure terrace is the huge and perfect outdoor living for al fresco dining and entertaining, swimming and entertaining, or just relaxing with a glass of wine. NOTE: Plans for a possible second storey [or more] are included since the house has been totally re-engineered with structural steel and even the rear colonnade terrace can be built on for a terrace off a huge master suite above. There are no building restrictions for this addition except that it be behind the first room off the street. “La Casa de la Sarteneja,” [so-called for the 1000-year old Mayan water trough or sarteneja that was found deep down under what is now the pool] has been completely structurally rebuilt with new roofs, new foundations, and entirely new plumbing and electrical systems. The house is full of air and light, with high ceilings, and the original colored pasta tile floors were preserved to maintain the old style. The sarteneja historical artifact comes with the purchase of the house as well as new stove, refrigerator, washing machine with dryer, microwave, water heater, and gas tank. There are ceiling fans in every room with speed controls, and lightning fixtures. The pool has a fully installed and working U.S. pool filter system. There is also installation of wiring for telephone, high-speed internet, air conditioning in every room, music throughout the house, and a permit to restore the façade according to the purchaser’s tastes.This house of The Sarteneja has a fideicomiso already in place, guaranteeing that the title is totally secure and above board. This is also a savings of about $5000 with all the fees if the buyer were to start from scratch. Transferring the title will take 2 weeks.Secured parking and all the shops one needs are one block from the house. More photographs are available. |
