Walkable or only a few minutes drive to the centre of Antigua, this truly spectacular 4-bedroom house located in Residenciales El Calvario, one of Antigua’s most prestigious gated communities has just come on the market.
The house was meticulously designed and built by the renowned Guatemalan architect Franklin Contreras; a warm colonial feel with so much detail but with a light and airy finish. Frankly, the house has to be seen to be really appreciated.
Take a look at the living room; how the gas fireplace chimney rises up to the high ceiling. It’s a perfect room to entertain with family and friends.
Overlooking the living room from the second floor is a lovely cosy library. It’s a space to relax and perhaps read. Thoughtfully, there is a bathroom adjacent to it.
The dining room with its intricate brick ceiling leads from the living room.
The kitchen is particularly attractive. I love the hand-painted ceramic tiles that adorn the countertops. Solid wood cabinets and shelves, and a majestic cupulá add to the class and style.
The terraza española is a marvellous spot to entertain, and enjoy the soothing sound of the fountain and the mature garden.
Also located on the first floor are two good-sized double bedrooms. They both feature working fireplaces, solid wood cupboards and share a bathroom.
A guest bathroom as well as a laundry room are also situated on the first floor.
Take the stairs that lead directly to the majestic master bedroom. Notwithstanding the great size, it’s the light that floods in as well as the glorious views of the volcanoes that will take your breath away!
The delightful bathroom that features like the kitchen hand painted ceramic tiles really is a marvel.
Don’t you just love the terraza española style pergola? The large terrace itself, where you’ll surrounded by mature plants and colourful bougainvillea is yet another highlight of this house.
Connected to the terrace but with its own stairs is a loft-style bedroom. It’s perfect for guests who desire privacy and features a sitting room area and bathroom below.
I should add that the gated community besides being fairly small, is quiet, very well maintained with green areas and features a clubhouse and heated pool.
The size of the land is 415.5 varas2.
The total construction is 392.2 metres2.
This stunning house close to Antigua Guatemala is for sale at $800,000
