From the street there is a double carport to your left and grilled entry door to the right. The home offers privacy with a graceful stair that guides you up to the house and a large tiled entertaining terrace with a sweeping lake view. I can see the lake, the islands and the mountains. It is peaceful and bucolic – removed from the bustle of the nearby towns in a world of our own. For those homebuyers with an eye to aging in their forever home there is the perfect space to the side of this terrace to install an elevator to this level directly from the garage. One of my favorite new saying lakeside is that an elevator is the new pool. That simple modification offers one level living for the future.
As we stepping into the home the scale and space it offers becomes apparent. The Great room to our left is over 330 sq feet and soars to the second floor with 2 stacked palladium style windows with a magnificent lake view. There is a guest powder room nestled under the grand staircase and a majestic pillar divides this space from the kitchen and dining room to the right. The open floor plan has a generous kitchen that is almost 19 feet wide with another lake view thru its arched window. There is a tiled freestanding service island in the kitchen but you get to choose how you divide the rest of this space as it continues for 37 feet until it reaches a glass slider leading to the garden. Would you choose to have half as the Kitchen and half as a dining room? Maybe thirds? Three sections of 12 feet by 19 with a kitchen then a dining room and then a den? What about a breakfast room? Is that on your list?
It has been a longtime since I’ve seen a house with this kind of flexibility for a new homeowner.
You are literally customizing it just with your furniture placement.
There is a large bedroom suite on this floor with a private bath and walk in closet and 2 arched windows with views of the rear garden and mountains to the north. In the future you could just live on this floor.
The average lot size for a home priced in the mid 300’s is HALF of this properties 795 sq meters, It offers the luxury of privacy, personal space and potential expansion. Our climate invites blurring indoor and outdoor space. This home has space for an outdoor kitchen, a firepit, a gazebo, a vegetable or fruit garden, Space for your pets to live free range.
I see room for a pool, a casita and even a fruit orchard.
On the second floor there is a second guest suite the exact foot print of the downstairs guest suite with mountain and garden views an ensuite bath and a walk in closet. Take a moment to appreciate that this suite is the approximate size of the great room. Separating the guest room from the Master Suite a large den on this level with a mountain view.
While the 2 other bedrooms have mountain and garden views the master has amazing Lake Views. Imagine waking up to this every morning. It also has a hacienda style wood burning fireplace. This bedroom’s ensuite even has a jacuzzi therapy tub.
This home is priced as a non view starter home that just needs the fun part of decorating and making it your own. Large lot, 3 ensuites (any of which could be a master), elegant 2 story great room, second floor den and huge entertaining space.
If you are moving to Chapala on a budget this is your dream house that you can gradually customize. With over 3000 square feet of construction on an oversized lot of just over 8,500 square feet this might be the deal of the YEAR and you saw it right here first! “If you sleep on this one, you will not sleep in it!”
