MLS ID: SMA8855 - Casa del Colibrí verde

Welcome to Casa del Colibri Verde (green hummingbird house), a wonderfully bright
and light-filled historic home where lovely green hummingbirds abound. This property
once belonged to an internationally renowned and recognized artist who was friends
with David Alfaro Siqueiros, the famous Mexican muralist, among other international
artists.
One of the best features about Casa del Colibri Verde is that it has an abundance of
outdoor space and views, which is what San Miguel living is all about! It has ample
green spaces with mature trees and plants on both the front and the back of the house.
Not only are these spaces beautiful and wonderful for both relaxing and entertaining,
but these large outdoor spaces are also excellent for allowing natural light into the
home, making it bright and light throughout the day. In addition, multi-level terraces,
each with extraordinary views of the city and churches, provide even more outdoor
spaces on each level of Casa del Colibri Verde.
Enter the home into a sunny verdant patio with many plants and mature trees. A large
terrace with a beamed covered loggia, and long parota wood table, is part of this grand
patio space, perfect to enjoy al fresco dining with friends or family. A lovely garden with
mature trees and grass and an large wall fountain with slate stone at the far-end of the
property just beyond the covered patio, add to the home’s restful natural green spaces
with abundant birdlife, including green hummingbirds.
Casa del Colibri Verde has the detailing of a true artist’s home: an onyx floor in the
living room and dining room area, stained glass murals depicting indigenous scenes
designed by the artist himself, a fabulous Chihuly-inspired chandelier above the dining
room table, beamed ceilings, and French doors and windows throughout the house
allowing light in at all hours of the day for warmth and artistic inspiration in pretty much
every room of the house.
There is large, eat-in kitchen with modern appliances and polished cement counter
tops. The separate dining room is two stories high, topped by the stained glass
windows and has glass doors to the outside pergola terrace with table and seating for 8
plus.
This home is ideal for those who want a primary bedroom suite and living areas on the
first floor. The first floor primary bedroom has an en-suite bathroom with tub, shower
and double sinks, fireplace and closet space all on the first level.
A living room with comfortable sofas and chairs and TV viewing, as well as a half
bathroom with designs/wall stenciling completes the first level of the home.
The second floor, accessed by beautiful and sturdy mesquite wooden stairs and
wrought iron railings has two large bedrooms each with its own bathroom. One of the
bedrooms, with its bathroom similar to the primary bedroom’s bathroom on the first
level, can be a second primary bedroom if needed. There are lovely views to the
Parroquia and churches lit up at night from the bedrooms.

There is a nice-sized tiled terrace outside of these bedrooms which provides excellent
outside space for reading, relaxing and enjoying the amazing views of San Miguel and
its churches.
Beautiful and ample green spaces abound and surround this home, and the back
garden is no exception. The stunning plant-filled back patio and garden space with
mature trees and plants has a beautiful stone wall and sitting area and is an excellent
spot to enjoy quiet moments, paint, read and also entertain.
There are stairs leading to a beautiful terrace with another beamed covered loggia
where breathtaking views of the Parroquia, sunset and many of the San Miguel
churches can be enjoyed. One more flight of stairs leads to a rooftop with solar panels.
The solar panels power the whole house electricity.
This rooftop space, which is flat and very large, provides an excellent opportunity to add
yet another outdoor living area, making it another perfect and comfortable living space
to enjoy the stunning views from. This can be done by adding a large pergola and a
room with an outdoor kitchen, wet bar, grill and bathroom. The views throughout the
home’s multi-level terraces are stunning, and this rooftop is no exception!
There is a large covered garage on the property, a rare luxury in San Miguel! This home
comes furnished with art exclusions.
