Welcome to Casa Que Canta: The House That Sings
Nestled in the heart of historic Centro, this stunning San Miguel de Allende home remodeled by interior designer Marcia Brown and architect Nicole Bisgaard, offers an enchanting blend of colonial charm and modern comfort. Birds sing in the lush, verdant garden, where a serene fountain graced by a statue of the Virgin of Guadalupe in a cantera niche invites moments of reflection. Almost every room in the house has a unique garden view.
A Grand Entrance
Step into this remarkable property through a picturesque walkway lined with vibrant plants and trees. This charming space, which can double as a carport for a small vehicle, features a captivating cantera sculpture of Saint Peter holding a key—perhaps the key to your new home.
Private Guest Quarters
To the right of the entrance, a two-story guesthouse offers complete privacy for visitors or renters. The ground-floor bedroom boasts an en suite bathroom and French doors that open to the garden. Upstairs, a second bedroom with an en suite bathroom, a balcony, and a spiral staircase leading to a rooftop terrace with breathtaking views creates an elevated experience. Both rooms can serve as private guest suites or be transformed into charming rental casitas. This charming guesthouse sits on the site where the stable was located for the original estate.
The Main House: Elegance and Comfort
Across the garden, the main house radiates colonial beauty with classic details such as cantera accents, Saltillo tile floors, distressed beams from a warehouse in Veracruz, and talavera tiles. French doors and windows bathe the interiors in natural light and provide gorgeous garden views.
Living Spaces: A cozy den with a fireplace and built-in storage sits to the left of the entrance. The adjoining full bathroom allows for easy conversion to a ground-floor bedroom, making one-level living a possibility. The elegant living room, with a second fireplace and views of the lush garden, is perfect for relaxing on cool mornings and evenings. Both of these fireplaces as well as all others in the home were designed by Marcia Brown.
Kitchen and Dining: The fully equipped kitchen with cabinets designed by Marcia Brown in her atelier, opens to a back patio adorned with a tranquil water feature and plants. Adjacent are the pantry and laundry areas. The dining room, positioned next to the kitchen, overlooks a serene patio filled with greenery, creating an inviting space for meals and gatherings.
