New-Build Colonial Home — Portal de las Rosas 2, San Miguel Dueñas — 3 Bed / 3.5 Bath

A colonial-style home to be built in San Miguel Dueñas, inside a gated community just a
short drive from La Antigua Guatemala, in one of the greener, quieter valleys near the
city. You get the security and calm of a gated community with easy access to everything
Antigua offers.

Construction has not yet started. This home is offered pre-construction, which means the
buyer comes in at the earliest stage, with the chance to follow the build from the ground
up and, depending on timing, to have input on finishes.

From the street it will be pure colonial character: whitewashed façade, clay-tile eaves,
wrought-iron window grilles, and a handsome solid-wood gate opening onto a cobblestone
lane. Inside, it is designed to be finished to a high standard, with the warmth and
craftsmanship that make homes in this area special.

The ground floor is laid out to be bright and open, with a spacious living, dining, and
kitchen area under exposed dark-wood beam ceilings and wood-look porcelain floors
throughout. The kitchen is designed as the centerpiece: custom hardwood cabinetry paired
with white uppers, marble-look countertops, stainless appliances, and open shelving.
Wood-framed glass doors will open to a private interior courtyard planted with grass and
stone pavers, bringing in light and greenery. This level also includes a full ground-floor
bedroom with its own bathroom, a guest powder room with hand-laid encaustic cement tile
and a backlit mirror, and a dedicated laundry room. Off-street parking sits behind the
solid-wood gate.

Upstairs, a colonial-style covered gallery with turned-wood columns on stone bases will
wrap the courtyard and connect the bedrooms. The plan includes a central sitting area
(estar), a spacious primary suite with vaulted beamed ceiling, ensuite bath, and walk-in
closet, plus a third bedroom and an additional full bathroom. Beamed ceilings, some in
dark-stained wood and others in traditional clay tile, carry the colonial character
through every room.

Because it is being built from scratch, everything will be new: new plumbing, new
electrical, new finishes, nothing inherited from a remodel. The look and feel of a
centuries-old Antigua home with the systems and reliability of new construction, plus the
space and value San Miguel Dueñas offers over the city center.
