This beautiful house is on Calle 59, the famous street in the historic center of Merida that has been declared part of Mexico's national patrimony. The house is just one short block from one of Merida's most idyllic squares, the lovely and peaceful Mejorada, a green space surrounded by magnificent buildings of historical and architectural significance. Simple and elegant, this very private residence in the center of Mexico's "White City" is ideal for enjoying the tranquility of Merida's tropical climate. Floors of black and white pasta tiles surrounded by polished white concrete, purposely a stunning and simple design, and large high-ceilinged rooms provide a backdrop for any style of furnishings and paintings. Designed and renovated by the Merida architect Henry Ponce, this house reflects his work and art: large rooms created from small spaces, comfort and beauty, love of nature and artistic design, superb aspects of lighting and visual harmony. Formerly two houses, one a very old Spanish colonial house, and the other built in more modern times, the present house contains a large elegant living room with enough space for several conversation areas, a graceful dining room perfect for memorable dinner parties, a charming sitting room fronting a lovely courtyard, a powder room, the master suite with a very high beamed ceiling original to the old house, the kitchen conveniently located between two courtyards, and an outdoor bar and eating area for alfresco luncheons, dinners, or midnight suppers. Also on the main level, there is a large guest bedroom/sitting room with ensuite bath and small private garden, a laundry area, and a garage with an automatic door opener. Having a garage in the center of Merida is an unusual luxury enjoyed by few residents, even those in the grandest houses. It will make loading and unloading your car very easy, and will provide a secure place to keep it when you leave the city. Several of the main floor rooms open onto a large courtyard with an inviting pool which is surrounded by gardens and high hand-made stone walls. This is a breezy and elegant area where much of your life in the tropics will be lived. The back of the house contains a second floor where you will find a spacious bedroom, again with a large sitting area and ensuite bath. This room is surrounded by a large wrap-around terrace overlooking the pool and covered by a beautiful wooden pergola suitable for more private living in the indoor/outdoor style. All of the technical aspects of this house are new; the electrical wiring and the plumbing system throughout the entire structure were replaced during the renovation, so it is equipped with all necessities for twenty-first century living, yet manages to retain its original charm and the gentle romantic aura of a bygone age.
