La Calle Escondida (YPM-012)

Twenty-foot tall ceilings welcome you into this unique creation, and through this first room begins the surprises that just don’t end. Just past the entrance room is the namesake of the property, La Calle Escondida, or The Hidden Street.

The owner loved so many of the fachadas of Merida’s centro historico that he didn’t want to be limited to selecting only one for his house… so he came up with the idea of creating a small interior streetscape of his own, incorporating lots of interesting styles all jumbled together just like they are on the real streets. Now this unique home is for sale and can be your Merida home base.

From here we enter what looks like a full-scale theater lobby complete with a giant proscenium arch and puffy theater curtain, which on closer examination isn’t fabric at all, but molded cement in the form of a curtain. Giant cement tassels hang down from the curtain and theater lights complete the scene. A beautiful curving stairway leads from here to the bedroom wing.

The enormous living/dining/kitchen space has good lighting both day and night. In the daytime light and air pour in at the edges of the ceiling from carefully designed portals, and at night a configurable range of lights sets any mood imaginable.

A large open kitchen features all the appliances we like to have nowadays, along with a huge polished cement island for entertaining in style.

From here we go to a covered colonnade porch area that in turn gives out onto the huge swimming pool, which also intersects with the structure of the house at the back of the property.

A mirrored passageway with bubbling fountain and rows of tropical plantings leads us back to yet another indoor/outdoor living area, this one complete with yet another bathroom and wet-bar.

The big master suite is located at the quiet back of the property and goes from one side of the property all the way to the other. Tall wood framed windows face back onto the main house, and the whole space is quietly regal, floating above this most unique Merida creation.
