Located in the ever-popular, gated La Aldea community in San Miguel de Allende’s Centro only a three-minute walk to Rosewood and nine minutes to the Jardin, Casa Cleo Petra—named for the owners pets—was dramatically renovated and expanded by the well respected local architect Ana Delia Lopez and is essentially a new home, with all the amenities expected from our newer homes here—oversized covered garage, ground-floor gardens, amenity upgrades from water filtration & softener to mini-splits, and Parroquia-view rooftop kitchen and dining. The neighborhood’s gated private park is a bonus for dog lovers!

Entering under the street-front casita—a full one-bedroom kitchenette residence separate from the home—visitors pass through a fountain-anchored courtyard, entering a formal grand foyer with formal office to one side and a fully-upgraded eat-in kitchen which flows to the great room at the back of the house—the ten-person dining room flows seamlessly to the double-height wet-bar living room, and both areas open through new sliding doors into the outdoor covered dining veranda and fountain-anchored garden. The 2nd floor hosts two en suite guest bedrooms separated by a media room, with the master suite on the 3rd floor boasting Romeo & Juliet balconies and an elegant soaking tub & shower dual-sink master bath with massive walk-in closet.

Crowning the home is a new full-kitchen living and dining area anchored by a firepit, all boasting open views to the Parroquia and Centro. Entertaining in this home is a delight, with multiple levels hosting large events easily. And for aging-in-place requests, the home can accommodate an elevator easily.

While this home shines like the jewel it is, the old real estate rule of “location” rules the equation here as quiet gated communities in Centro can be counted on one hand, and those with private parks number only two. The market has turned white hot since the election, don’t delay in booking a showing with me of this gem, once you’ve experienced this home you’ll truly feel like Cleopatra, Queen of your new magnificent estate!
