Sorry, this property has SOLD.
"SUENOS DE MANILA", or “Dreams of Manila”, is what the present owners wanted to achieve when they
bought the house in 1986, remodeling it to become a luxurious home reminiscent of their former home in
Manila, Philippines.
The remodeling was done in stages, almost year after year, and now the house boasts of a tennis court, a
lovely landscaped garden, a no-edge pool with a jacuzzi that seats at least 15 (equipped with state-of- the-
art filters and electric heating system), an upstairs terrace, a downstairs terrace with an expanse of Santo
Tomas marble, a barbecue cabana dotted with talavera hand painted tiles, large living room with a
uniquely designed wood and tile floor, a bar and his & her restrooms, a large dining room and breakfast
room, a modern kitchen with granite counter, and more.
Another interesting fact is that the house is harmoniously designed, applying the principles of Feng Shui.
One enters the property going up to the garden facing an impressive facade of the house. One feels
immediately at home in the cozy surroundings. As you wander around the spacious rooms you will note
the 15 foot ceilings in the living areas and also in all the bedrooms.
There are 5 spacious bedrooms, each with its own bathroom (one of the bedrooms was converted into an
office.) All of these rooms open up to a lovely corridor and upstairs terrace which provides a perfect
exercise area with a view of the city and the mountains afar. The Master suite is one of the most spacious
we have seen in Cuernavaca. Its wooden floors were newly installed in 2003 and its bathroom just
remodeled with a granite counter, jacuzzi bathtub and glass doors. The guest bedroom (or suite), at the
end of the hall, has a view of the garden and the pool from its large picture window. It also has 2 shower
stalls in the bathroom and a large walk-in closet.
The property is located just 1 minute from the second exit, in the north part of Cuernavaca where the
climate is at least 5 degrees fresher than the Centro's. It is in a gated residential area with 24-hours
security.
