MLS ID: SMA6718 - Casa Carolina

With a wall dating to the 18^th century, Casa Carolina nestles within the historic district of San Miguel de Allende—a UNESCO World Heritage zone—epitomizing the best of Spanish Colonial architecture updated to reflect a modern lifestyle, and boasting only a six-minute walk to the town square. Built on an oversized 613 M2 lot, the estate hosts two large and distinct courtyards: one a garden environment, the other ideal for hosting evening soirees around the outdoor fireplace as the nearby massive fountain trickles a lullaby. This three-bedroom home—two more could easily be added on the sprawling roof terrace—has been meticulously maintained by the owners to preserve every inch of the original Spanish Colonial interiors so envied by American clients: kitchen and bathrooms sport updated but old-world-style hand-fired Talavera tile from nearby Dolores Hidalgo, and the kitchen’s hardwood carved cabinetry—boasting a Moroccan-weave cabinet-front—proves in perfect condition, complimenting a chopping-block-style island with a wood-beamed hearth sporting a tile mural.

Multiple massive stone-carved cantera fireplaces populate the home—including the outdoor one—with cantera flooring the outdoor terraces, and a herringbone terra cotta tile on some floors. The home boasts both a living room as well as a massive music room & library—the rolling-ladder effect is straight from Architectural Digest—hosting a baby grand piano that remains for the new owners. In fact, the entire home is sold furnished, move-in ready. Working from home? Fiber optic internet is available, as well as the traditional amenities, including whole-house water purification and a garage, rare for historic estates in Centro. The master suite offers his-and-her bathrooms and south-facing Romeo & Juliet balconies but also opens to the 2^nd floor roof terrace, large enough to add additional bedrooms or host a party for 50. Yet another, higher roof terrace offers views of Centro’s historic churches, including the world-famous Parroquia.

Enchanted by history? Dreaming of your own Under the Tuscan Sun lifestyle—without the remodel work—in the village ranked #1 Small City in the World? Give me a call, let me take you on a trip back 200 years! Wear your huaraches so you can slip them off and feel the warmth radiating from the worn stone of the courtyards, you’ll imagine mole simmering in the kitchen and we can find sangria and guacamole for your sunset viewing from the view terrace. Casa Carolina promises to enchant you, as will the lifestyle here!
