Barrio De Santiago 4 Bedroom Villa

In Mérida’s historic Santiago neighborhood, this restored 18th-century residence offers a rare opportunity to own a character-filled home that blends original Yucatán architecture with thoughtful modern upgrades. Renovated approximately eight years ago under the direction of a respected local architect, the property preserves its heritage while delivering the comfort and functionality expected for full-time living or a second home.

Set on a 5,199 square foot (483 square meter) lot with 3,369 square feet (313 square meters) of construction, the home is arranged around a private interior courtyard that brings natural light and airflow into the main living spaces. The layout is especially practical, with three of the four bedrooms positioned on the main level, creating an easy flow for daily living and hosting.

The interiors combine warm, traditional elements with clean finishes and curated furnishings. A spacious kitchen anchors the home, complete with a breakfast island, full appliances including a dishwasher, and direct access to a covered outdoor terrace designed for dining and relaxation. Adjacent living and sitting areas open toward the garden, reinforcing the indoor and outdoor connection that defines homes in this part of Mérida.

The primary suite offers added privacy along with a walk-in closet and its own outdoor patio featuring a jacuzzi. Three bedrooms include en suite bathrooms, while additional half baths provide convenience for guests. The outdoor areas are a highlight, with a landscaped garden, private pool, and multiple areas to enjoy the climate year-round.

Additional features include a laundry room, garage for one vehicle, solar panels for improved energy efficiency, and a private well. The home is offered fully furnished, allowing for a smooth transition for new ownership.

Santiago is one of Mérida’s most established and authentic residential areas, known for its walkable streets, local markets, and proximity to the city’s historic center. From here, residents have convenient access to cultural landmarks, dining, and day trips to nearby cenotes and restored haciendas across the Yucatán Peninsula.

This property stands out for its scale, architectural integrity, and livability within one of Mérida’s most sought-after historic locations.
