Description: This home is one of the grandest old residences in Merida. With a lot size of 2,381 square metres, there are few properties that have this much yard space in Centro. Abandoned for 20 years, this house was last used by the army as a local store. It has a rich and long history, as it was once the water seller to the entire neighborhood. The house itself is 258 square metres of indoor space, a further 200 square metres under arches, with the rest reserved for an absolutely enormous garden.
Location is everything, and this home is situated in the increasingly popular neighborhood of La Ermita, and is only two blocks from the square of the same name - and 3 blocks from the equally pretty park of San Juan. This is one of the prettiest neighborhoods in Merida, largely intact, and where the government is investing to clean up the facades, re-cobble the streets, and so on. Savvy locals and expats are moving here at pace.
The water sellers home boasts the largest cistern we have ever seen in Merida, an absolutely huge tank that is big enough to serve the house and an Olympic sized swimming pool. The yard is large enough for a huge pool, tennis court, and additional buildings. This home would make a palatial residence, or a fantastic bed and breakfast, hotel, cooking school...
The home has beautiful hardwood doors which have been lovingly restored. The tile floors are original, and in excellent condtion throughout. This house has been repaired and restored to its original glory, with all structural work done, including roofs, supporting walls, arches, etc, as well as repairs to all of the original decorative features.
What is left is for the new owner to decide what to do with it, which rooms go where, etc, and then to install electrics and plumbing. The septic tanks have been cleaned, and are enormous, large enough to suit all residential or commercial needs.
At $139 per square metre, this property represents excellent value compared to the Merida Centro average price per square meter.
