VILLA CHORRO
Private gated street in Centro with city-wide views!From Villa Chorro’s Centro perch above historic San Miguel de
Allende viewers absorb city-wide views—including the iconic
Parroquia—stretching to Guanajuato, not only from the stunning roof terrace but
from lower levels as well. This ideal location—tucked far away from Centro
traffic—is on a closed Callejon accessed down a private gated cobblestone and
tree-lined cul-de-sac seemingly from a Merchant & Ivory set, serving only three
homes. This idyllic setting might be expected of a country home, but not for an
estate in Centro walking distance to the Jardin. The main residence—see the grand entry flanked by magnificent
cantera Corinthian columns—houses two bedrooms, an open great-room plan with
city-wide views from the dining room and adjacent dining terrace and wet bar, kitchen
with both a butler’s pantry and a china pantry, two offices on two levels, gym,
stepped media room with 75-inch surround-sound TV, multiple all-city-view
verandas at the rear, and a music room straight from the set of Amadeus boasting
both a harpsicord and baby grand—the owners hosted Baroque Music and Chamber
Music events here—with a mezzanine library and 18-foot ceilings, all
overlooking the city. Bring your violin—or your Spotify—and try the acoustics! Additionally, two rear separate-entrance casitas—one a full home
with separate living/dining/kitchen—can provide rental income or guest housing
for your favorite Baroque violinist. The casitas front a rear street and could
even have street access from this side. Across the rear street, a vacant 488 M2
lot is also available should you wish to protect your view corridor or provide
an oversized garden. This limestone-constructed home features Pella double and
triple-paned windows and sliding doors throughout, and the home includes an
oversized enclosed garage and the expected amenities, from whole-house water
filtration to security system. Note, this lot size and price includes pro rata
ownership of the private street fronting the home. The vacant 488 M2 lot behind
the home is also available for an additional $438,000. Let’s plan a home tour soon, but bring your best Cecil B. DeMille
cell camera when you come, you’ll want to capture these astounding rooms before
you come back for the sunset Prosecco view with a Bellini-colored sky!
