Calling all botanically inclined visitors!

This stunning 100+ year old house has the only tamarind tree in SMA!

They are not native to this area and this one appears to be as old as the house!  They take 80 years to flower.  This one has seed pods on it.

The central courtyard is welcoming with Doric columns and traditional arches.

A stone wall was crafted with stones carefully scavenged and meticulously arranged.

The owner loves quartz and small pieces of quartz are incorporated into the design; can you find any?

There are also decorative artifacts from the owner’s mother sent from Michoacan.

Water runs down this wall into a pool.

Potted flowers are everywhere and the dappled light is charming.

A beautiful “mandala” of straw is framed and hangs in the foyer.

Visitors will have the opportunity to tour eight small suites complete with kitchens.

Note the antique wooden doors and windows.

The owner hasn’t yet decided what to do with all these newly created suites; perhaps you could convince her to rent one to you?

“ It is behind the walls you see how we live”

This stunning home is generously offered by the President of the Board of Directors of La Biblioteca.

While it dates from the early 18th century, she has tastefully and meticulously remodeled it into a livable, while still historic, home.

 The kitchen has a marvelous welcoming feel to it; visitors will be delighted by the craftsmanship of the wooden cabinets and the Mexican tiles.

Don’t miss the chickens on the plate shelf!

 The central courtyard has a fountain as well as a nod to the 21st century, a swimming pool.

 The “sala” or living room is a combination of “Old World” luxury and charming comfort.

Beautifully decorated bedrooms will make you wish you could be a guest!

The rooftop terrace has an outdoor kitchen and you feel as though you could reach out and touch the dome of the church across the street.
