Head upstairs to an outdoor party room as well as a bonus room just right for that extra guest.
Before you leave, be sure to see the before and after photos of the remodel of the house and know there are truly creative and visionary people in San Miguel!

The contemporary seating living room is flanked by outdoor patios.
Rustic wooden door headers, an unexpected surprise, match the antique door to the wine cellar.
