Freistehendes Einfamilienhaus Mit 5 Schlafzimmern

Set on the southwest corner of Recreo and Terraplén, in one of the most coveted locations within San Miguel de Allende’s Historic Centro, Casa Recreo is one of the city’s original grand colonial homes—a residence of remarkable presence, authenticity, and architectural beauty. Its corner position and southwest exposure allow abundant natural light to enter throughout the day, giving the interiors an unusually bright and open feel for a historic Centro property... From the street, the home immediately distinguishes itself with a warm terracotta façade, beautifully carved cantera stone, elegant wrought-iron windows, and a striking corner element crowned by a traditional hornacina with a religious figure and cross—an architectural detail deeply associated with old San Miguel... Inside, the residence unfolds around an enchanting central courtyard, where greenery, a traditional fountain, aged surfaces, and stonework create an intimate and elegant setting. Throughout the home, cantera-framed arches form a graceful architectural rhythm, connecting the foyer, courtyard, kitchen, and covered upper-level sitting areas while softening the substantial colonial walls... The original portions of the house preserve antique handmade cement tile floors, exposed wooden beams, carved stone surrounds, wrought iron, and historic niches. Small cantera-framed openings, devotional recesses with saints and Virgins, and carved pieces embedded into the walls appear throughout like architectural jewels, giving the home a layered and highly original character... On the main level, a guest bedroom with ensuite bath and gas fireplace sits near a second generously sized suite that can serve as a primary bedroom, complete with ensuite bath, gas fireplace, air conditioning, and a private sitting area. The traditional kitchen features elegant gray wood cabinetry and connects directly to the courtyard, with a powder room, laundry room, and household storage nearby... Spacious living and dining areas are enhanced by high ceilings, patterned floors, wooden beams, and a substantial fireplace. Upstairs, a versatile sitting area can function as a family room, library, television room, or art studio and opens to a sequence of patios and terraces that bring in light, greenery, and fresh air... The upper level also includes an additional ensuite bedroom, intimate outdoor sitting areas, and a dramatic covered gathering space framed by broad cantera arches, with a high ceiling, exposed beams, and an impressive gas fireplace. Two more ensuite bedrooms complete this floor and could potentially be combined to create one expansive upper-level primary suite... Modern comforts, including air-conditioning units and multiple gas fireplaces, have been incorporated without diminishing the home’s historic identity... What ultimately sets Casa Recreo apart is its authenticity. This is not a newly constructed house designed to imitate colonial San Miguel. Its antique cement tiles, carved cantera, wrought iron, wooden beams, devotional niches, courtyards, arches, and timeworn details are part of the real architectural language of an original historic residence... For the buyer seeking luxury real estate in San Miguel de Allende, an exceptional home in the Historic Center, and the rare opportunity to live within one of the city’s original grand colonial residences, Casa Recreo offers a genuine piece of San Miguel history, beautifully preserved for contemporary living.
