CENTRO’S SHINING WONDER

Pilancón Fifteen is a shining wonder, grand slam opportunity and privileged jewel. Located in one of the most serene and distinguished streets of the World Heritage “centro” of San Miguel de Allende, it provides the opportunity to savor being only a few steps away from all of the excitement that this famed city has to offer, whilst keeping a private and peaceful residence.

This property can be used as a home, but is intended as a premium fixer upper. Originally part of a larger home - the entrance and casita - Pilancon Fifteen was created by the keen eye of the owners, who identified its treasured potential. The abundant space, existing structure and highly convenient location made way for premium realty. This has resulted in an opportunity for you: a buyer that is looking for the chance to create their dream home.

What makes this a premium fixer upper?

As an architect, there are a few things I can provide clarity over. No fancy wording, just the facts:

● The starting point for most fixer uppers can be understood as inoperative. In other words, there is little to nothing that can be used in the state that it is in. This is not the case with Pilancon Fifteen. It is the owners’ and agents’ expectation for the entire space to be redone, but you could live in it if you wanted to. The existing casita has three bedrooms, one small living area and one full bathroom. It is a two level home.

● The majority of the property’s footprint is totally open. There is no overgrown vegetation or unnecessary structures to remove and the floor is leveled. This, in practice, provides a considerable headstart. Therefore, the path to creating your dream home is far simpler.

● The services that supply the home with water and electricity (SAPASMA and CFE) are already in place and have independent contracts. The drainage system of the house does need to be separated. Doing this, however, will not represent any considerable complexity, so it’s nothing I would worry about.

● This could not be a premium fixer upper without a premium location. There is enough space for a garage if you wanted to build one, but the location is such that a truly walkable Centro home can be made. You are close to all services and leisure sites. This was actually one of the reasons why the current owners purchased their home, so it is a proven concept.

This property is not a tabula raza nor a torn down home. It is a true jewel and opportunity waiting to be seized.
