Description
One- of - a Kind A unique, jewel box villa nestled in a lush secret oasis in the premier corner of Historic Centro, Casa Lala reflects the architectural charms of Mexico, but never nods to cliches. Industrial steel and glass doors soar to high beamed ceilings and flood the house in light. Hand plastered walls reflect craftsmenship of native artisans. Surprise glass floor balconies, windows in showers and a miniature boveda ceilings emerge unexpectedly. Quality of workmanship is evident throughout in the many details that take time to be discovered. Designed by Rela Gleason and featured in Elle Decor, the home is being offered turn key fully furnished and equipped. Fine antiques, original commissioned art, custom furnishings and a grand piano are eye candy, but comfort and functionality are not sacrificed. A gourmet kitchen with a dining alcove and fireplace overlooks the courtyard with swimming pool and spa. 7 additional fireplaces (3 woodburning) add charm and warmth to each of the three air-conditioned bedroom suites with travertine bathrooms, the indoor salon, outdoor lounging sala, dining sala, and roof terrace. A powder room is conveniently located on the ground floor and staff quarters with 1/2 bath, lockable storage closets and laundry facilities are housed in the full basement. Sculptural staircases rise to the second floor. One accesses the guest suite for a separate lockable entrance. An elevator services each floor from basement to roof terrace with wet bar. Sunset views over surrounding gardens and treetops delight year round in secluded privacy. The house neighbors private gardens beautifully maintained. Casa Lala is for a very discerning client seeking something out of the ordinary. Located in the finest area of Centro it is completely private and secure, behind a colonial entry portal on the Parque Juarez, in addition to it’s own front walled facade. A full time Velador maintains the peaceful cobbled lane lined with Jacaranda trees. The bustle of San Miguel street life does not intrude and parking your car is not an issue. An HOA administers the privada. Quiet, discrete, immaculate, and so very special there will never be another like this sparkling gem. Ready to move in. Bring your toothbrush.
