Floor Plan:

The house at 19 Prolongation de Montitlan, (Los Balconies neighbourhood) is traditional Mexican cement and adobe construction, the main outside wall enclosing the house, pool and yard in a cozy, safe confine. On the main floor is an open plan living room/dining room/kitchen with Saltillo floor tile throughout. A fireplace for cool evenings, wireless internet and a flat-screen television with satellite add to the pleasure - a water filtration system keeps the tummy feeling good. The Mexican love of colourful walls is seen in the decor. Glass doors open to the large terrace that overlooks the cacti garden and pool, while the kitchen doors open to a small, hidden patio in a back corner of the yard.

Upstairs a large master bedroom with king bed, private bath, palm fan, closet and fireplace is topped by a beautiful bodega ceiling. Next door is a small studio with guest bed for unexpected guests or teenage children complete with its own 3-pce bathroom located in the adjacent laundry room.

A large outdoor patio on this level allows for views over the neighbourhood and gardens, while a small bridge carries one to the roof-top garden on top of the casita - once again the neighbourhood and open fields sweeps out and up alongside the property. Down a curving stairway from the roof-top, you find the entrance to the casita (tiny house) where guests have their own private bedroom with single/king bed, bathroom, fireplace and amenities for coffee-breakfast making. Outside the door, the pool sits, awaiting early morning dips or late night romps.

Another set of stairs by the studio ends on the roof top, which gives views of the whole valley and magnificent sunsets for those who make the trip.

Cacti gardens lead from the front door to the house, sitting on the raised back of the lot with small wandering paths around the pool.

The property is perfect for two couples who wish to vacation together but wish to have space for some alone-time.
