Casa Guadiana Original Fixer Upper

This cute-as-a-button, single-level cottage is on one of the most desirable streets in Guadiana, a neighbourhood that has matured into San Miguel’s most exclusive (Sorry. Not sorry, Ojo de Agua). The location can’t be beat: behind the Parque Juarez and even closer to Parque Guadiana and Mercado SANO, the Stirling Dickinson District, The Ancha and the “new downtown.” Oh, and of course, a flat hop, skip and jump to centro.

Surrounded by million-dollar properties this a dark-horse opportunity for those looking to gain a foothold in one of the best locations in town. After “Location, location, location,” a second rule of thumb in real estate is “Buy the worst house on the best street you can afford.” Casa Guadiana Original checks both of those boxes.

True to the neighborhood’s original vernacular, this 60s bungalow’s open floor plan offers single floor living and a cosy conversation pit with a gas fire fireplace and a galley kitchen. The main house has two ample bedrooms with Jack and Jill doors to a shared full bathroom. A second full bathroom is off of the main living space. A car port or front patio adds privacy to the house buffering it from any ambient noise of the street. For professionals seeking to continue to work from home, a second building offers a storefront with an independent entrance and its own half bathroom. A small but sunny back patio serves as an outdoor laundry area.

Natch, much-loved Casa Guadiana Original has stood the test of time. As a result it is somewhat in need of some refurbishment. However the discerning eye and loving hand that undertakes a this refresh could bring this house back to its former Mid-Century glory in two shakes of a lambs tail. Then you’d have something pretty far out and groovy baby!

Book a viewing today to see this home in the best location that oozes yesteryear charm yet with tons of future home potential.
