Casa Alegre

This beautifully designed home is nestled in the highly sought-after neighborhood of San José del Obraje, a private gated enclave in the heart of San Miguel. Ideally located, the property is just two blocks from the Mercado, one block from the Artisans’ Market, and a short stroll to the Jardin and La Aurora. The peaceful setting offers both security and convenient access to all the charm and culture San Miguel has to offer.

The home is framed by a low-maintenance garden, designed by renowned local landscaper Joseph Smith, creating a serene entryway. Architect Mario Gasque has crafted a spacious and upscale modern Mexican residence, blending traditional charm with contemporary elegance. The open-concept living area includes a cozy living room with a fireplace, a dining area, and a modern kitchen, with large windows on three sides allowing an abundance of natural light to flood the space.

For outdoor living, there’s a charming patio with a mature nut tree, perfect for alfresco dining or relaxation. The master suite, located on the main floor, offers a peaceful retreat with a walk-in closet and an ensuite bathroom, plus a mini-split system for year-round comfort.

Upstairs, a second master suite provides a similar level of luxury, featuring a walk-in closet, an ensuite bathroom, and skylights that invite natural light into the space. An adjacent office/studio offers a quiet, private area for work or creative pursuits. The property also boasts a stunning outdoor terrace and rooftop garden, perfect for enjoying the outdoors and taking in the views.

A separate one-bedroom casita with its own entrance provides additional space for guests, a rental unit, or live-in help. The casita features a bedroom, office area, and bathroom on the lower level, and an open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area upstairs, with ample light and an outdoor patio that could be enclosed for more living space.

Additional features include a large one-car garage with a workbench and laundry area, a water purification and pressure system throughout, solar hot water for energy efficiency, custom solar sun shades, and plenty of storage space. On-street parking is available for guests. This home also has a strong rental history, making it an attractive investment opportunity.
