Just a few unhurried blocks from the main square, in the heart of the UNESCO world heritage city of San Miguel de Allende, Villa Celestial offers one of the city’s most memorable architectural experiences. Designed by renowned Mexican architect, Pedro Urquiza, the home carries the quiet grandeur of a place built with intention -vaulted 30 foot stenciled ceilings, graceful arches, cantera stone underfoot and light that dances throughout the rooms, offering a sensual almost spiritual like experience to those who enter. Arriving through an artesian door, one enters a landscaped courtyard with its calming fountain partially enveloped by a covered loggia which opens fully to the garden, effortlessly bringing the outdoors in. The loggia is a natural gathering place -morning coffee, evening conversation, or fire lit in the cool season transforming it to a warm and atmospheric space. The main living area is breathtaking in scale yet deeply inviting anchored by a tall mirrored fireplace. A pair of curved sweeping staircases is on either side, one leads to the sleeping areas above and the other to a lower level below featuring fireplace and closets, making it perfectly suited for a 4th bedroom,  wine cellar, home gym or theater. The dining room is intimate with its handkerchief ceiling and flows effortless from the central space and into the kitchen. The kitchen represents a beautifully executed homage to colonial craftsmanship, with its mesquite wood island, hammered copper sink, traditionally tiled counters and a large range with copper backsplash. These type of touches, exude the kind of warmth that inspires guests to linger around the kitchen in conversation while meals are being prepared and is a dream for those who love to cook.

Upstairs, a catwalk suspends above the living room, leading to three bedroom suites, each with French doors and a Juliet balcony overlooking the garden below. The primary suite features a canopy bed, carved fireplace, mini-split, dual closets and an en-suite double sink bath that features a large window which frames long views of the mountains beyond. The covered rooftop sala is where days unwind. To the east, the Parroquia rises in silhouette. To the west, the Guanajuato highlands deepen into lavender and blue at sunset. This is a terrace meant for twilight
