Hidden Architectural Gem

Description

Never hear street noise again in this unique, design-forward home tucked away at the end of a secluded cul-de-sac in Ajijic’s upscale, mountainside Villa Nova neighborhood – close enough to walk to Ajijic square, and far enough for peace and tranquility

Enter this over-sized 3 bed, 3.5 bath home through an arched, carved wooden door into a dramatic two-story foyer with a working fountain, large windows, and a ceiling of glass. Straight ahead is the graciously-sized living room with fireplace and large glass French doors that flow out onto the comfortable, south-facing, covered patio.

To the left is an equally sizable dining room – also with large glass doors that open onto a front terrace. The adjoining, open kitchen is flooded with light from large south facing windows and skylights, and includes a new, high-end Mabe gas range. A large bodega/laundry room off the kitchen provides ample storage and includes a washer/dryer and utility sink.

Off the right side of the foyer is the spacious primary bedroom with large, south facing glass doors that open to the back garden. A walk-through closet and bright bathroom completes the suite. To the left side of the foyer is a second large bedroom with double closets, en-suite bath and large east-facing windows to capture morning sun. A discreetly tucked away half bath completes the first floor.

Ascending the dramatic staircase to the second floor, the unique angular architecture grabs attention, as does the ceiling of glass and wood timber beams, all accented by a significant Moroccan lantern. Past the landing is a very large third bedroom with en-suite bath, and large south-facing glass doors that open to a private, covered terrace with lake view.

The home is significantly larger than other similarly-priced, 3 bedroom homes and includes an additional half bath for guests. Multiple sliding glass doors, over-sized windows and a myriad of uniquely shaped skylights fill the house and bathrooms with light. The easy to maintain property includes covered parking for two cars, mature tropical landscaping and abundant color. Another bodega at the end of the driveway is large enough for storage and gardening equipment.
