Here is a rare opportunity to purchase an exceptional 3-4 bedroom, 4 bath property in Colonia Guadalupe, one of San Miguel's most coveted neighborhoods. A flat, easy walk to the historic heart of Centro, yet surrounded by the creative energy that makes Guadalupe one of San Miguel's most sought-after addresses, it is designed with artistry and attention to detail.

Key features include a wood burning fireplace, private garage providing secure off-street parking, oversized windows and french doors, antique wooden beams, and artisanal tile used throughout the living spaces. The high-ceilinged property features three independent units, each with private bathrooms and kitchens as well as living areas, perfect for multi-generational living, guest suites, or maximizing rental income. The main ground-floor unit opens directly onto a lush private courtyard and walled garden, creating seamless indoor-outdoor flow. The gourmet kitchen is ready for serious cooking and entertaining.

On the second floor, an extra large west-facing terrace on second floor gets the sun all day, while an office with a built-in antique desk can also be used as a fourth bedroom. Designed to capture San Miguel's legendary light, the house is strategically oriented with the main spaces facing south and west, complemented by select east-facing rooms, and dotted with skylights. Extra-large windows flood the interiors with natural light all day. In addition to the wood-burning fireplace there is a gas fireplace, and built-in heating in one of the bedrooms for year-round comfort.

A dedicated art studio in the garden provides the perfect space for creative pursuits. Air rights are available for adding a third story, offering significant expansion possibilities. The property boasts a large enclosed courtyard and a roof deck with sweeping views all the way to the Parroquia. Towering cactus and ature fruit trees including lemon, fig, pomegranate, and banana create a private oasis, along with jacaranda, bougainvillea, monstera and more.

Colonia Guadalupe, often called the "Soho of San Miguel”, is a creative neighborhood celebrated for its cafés, murals, galleries, and thriving art scene, while remaining an extremely safe, quiet residential area complete with newly-installed police security cameras. Just five minutes walk to the iconic Fabrica La Aurora Art & Design Center and around the corner from Tienda de Gil, the best small grocery store in town, this dwelling is deal for a multi-family compound, income-generating property, artist retreat with rental potential, or luxury single-family residence.
