This graceful home is located above the hustle and bustle of San Miguel, but not so far as to preclude a leisurely stroll downtown in 10 minutes. Laid out around a verdant patio, the home is designed for indoor/outdoor entertaining, either formally or informally.

Immediately upon entering, one ascends a flight of stairs to a welcoming front room with three couches before a fireplace, high beamed ceilings, and informal dining for eight at a remarkable solid plank table. Beyond the table is a bank of french doors that provide a view of the fountain in the patio. Off this central room are found a beautiful formal dining room with seating for 8 and a fireplace and a comfortable study with fireplace.

Up the well-lit stairs is a door to the patio, and the first of three bedrooms, containing a queen-sized bed, and a full bathroom with an antique tub. Up a few more stairs, one finds the second bedroom, done all in white, and featuring a queen bed with mosquito netting, a bathroom, a fireplace, and a small sitting room, which opens on to a private balcony with a view of the western horizon. The third bedroom, up a few more stairs, is done in yellow with a green tiled bathroom, and has a fireplace, a queen bed with mosquito netting, and a small balcony overlooking the patio.

Up another flight of stairs is the roof garden terrace with table and chairs, potted plants, and a 360 degree view. The vista features the central cathedral (here called the Parroquia), a jumble of tiled roofs, houses and greenery to the east, plus a vast view of the lake, rimmed by the western mountains, and the sunset to the west. The perfect place for a rendezvous of the guests to enjoy a sundowner and to discuss the doings of the day or make plans for the evening on the town.

All rooms are artfully decorated with colorful and comfortable furnishings, wall hangings, statues and paintings. The house covers some 3500 sq. ft. on 3 levels plus roof garden. In the center is a gorgeous flowering patio with lounges and a coffee table. There is garage and a small bedroom and bath (with washing machine) at the main entry level.
