In the heart of historic San Miguel de Allende on a quiet, short cul-de-sac street only a six-minute stroll to the Jardin, our town square, sits Casa Nostra Familia, literally Our Family Home ! This magnificent fully renovated and updated Spanish Colonial home by renowned architect Pedro Urquiza is the ideal setting for those extended family holidays together, three generations under one roof, all with room for privacy and separation, especially with the separate full-home casita!

Casa Nostra Familia boasts the finest of finishes throughout: cantera stone flooring, beamed and stenciled-tile ceilings, boveda ceilings, custom wood doors with beveled glass windows, Jali-screen carvings over several windows, custom brass and cantera sinks, vanishing screens throughout, seven ornate carved cantera fireplaces, custom hardware…nothing was overlooked, nothing missed an update. A grand dauphine fountain anchors the entry courtyard before guests arrive at a formal foyer, radiating into the enormous living room. The formal dining room can easily seat 10 for dinner with built-ins flanking a massive cantera fireplace, while the adjacent kitchen clearly reflects the whims of a professional chef: Viking appliances including a caterer-size refrigerator, convection oven, triple-component range, burners, gridle and grill, under a massive commercial-grade range hood, large walk-in pantry, enormous 5-stool island, and wine refrigerator, all spilling into the adjacent outdoor fireplace-anchored and cantera basketweave-columned cocktail terrace that spans between the indoor dining and the outdoor dining room with powder bath.

The heavily landscaped and fountain-anchored ground floor terrace, plentiful enough to add a lap or plunge pool, boasts a shaded living room configuration, but the roof terrace also offers a third dining area and covered seating collection with wet bar boasting city-wide views. While the home provides a ground-floor bedroom, currently used as a library, three bedrooms populate the 2 nd floor, as does the 5 th separate-wing casita bedroom, with two equal-sized primary suites. The newest and current four-poster fireplace-anchored primary suite boasts new Kommerling dual-paned doors and windows, a large outdoor cantera-balustrade terrace and a bathroom straight from Architectural Digest: massive marble dual-sink vanity, jetted tub with a designer nicho surround, frosted-glass shower and toilet stall, and multiple clamshell nichos, all topped by a cast-coffered canyon ceiling with skylights. The enchanting 2-story casita offers a fireplace living room downstairs, and a large king-bed with dual-sink bathroom upstairs.

Technical details abound as well: whole house water filtration and decalcification system; cantera-floored double-height garage with a service bathroom, 2 nd refrigerator, and lots of storage; built-in room-zoned sound system; whole-home security system, mini-splits in all bedrooms, and a new 32-panel solar system eliminating all electrical bills. Amazed yet? Me too!

Call me for that first walk-through of your dream San Miguel de Allende real estate property, you’ll already be envisioning the first family holiday: the kids will love it here, the grandkids have room there, and Aunt Betty has her private room all to herself. Italians always say “Familia y vini sono meglio vecchi!” (Family & wine get better with age!) so we’ll have Puccini on and pour you a well-aged Barolo for your 2nd visit while we all plan your next family reunion! Tutto bene!
