The home’s interior blends natural materials with a bright, open layout that takes full advantage of its surroundings.

A cozy living area with a tasteful artistic touch and a fireplace complete the space, offering comfort and timeless appeal.

Originally built around 1995, the house has been thoughtfully renovated and modernized over the years.

A comfortable sofa and a relaxed reading chair invite quiet moments, while a simple indoor fireplace adds warmth and ambiance. The house will be sold fully furnished.

Each of the two well-lit bedrooms features a queen-size bed and opens onto a beautifully designed rear courtyard facing north, a private outdoor space enclosed by a stone wall, with seating, soft lighting, and a quiet, sheltered setting that's perfect for reading, relaxing, or enjoying the evening air.
Bathroom
The stylishly designed bathroom was fully renovated and modernized just two years ago. It features a sleek shower, a contemporary sink, and beautifully chosen tiles that add a touch of elegance and character to the space.

Set within a fully fenced garden featuring a variety of fruit trees and colorful native plants, the home and garden offers privacy and an inspiring, framed view of Lake Atitlán and the surrounding volcanoes.

And with birdsong in the air, even a brief pause here becomes something grounding and calm.
