This unique two-story beach house is located just north of the town center in Puerto Morelos, a quiet seaside community approximately halfway between Cancun and Playa del Carmen and about 20 minutes from the airport. The property is directly across the street from the beach and backs up to the lush jungle, offering proximity to white sandy beaches and numerous cenotes in the surrounding Mayan jungle. The home evolved from a large traditional Caribbean palapa. Its Zapote wood posts and long-spanning Palo de Rosa beams are organically framed within concrete walls, creating a distinctive living space. All interior doors and framing are made of solid cedar. The layout includes a fully equipped kitchen with an island, spacious living and dining areas, and two bedrooms with en suite bathrooms. The master bedroom occupies the entire second floor, featuring a high palapa roof and a wrap-around terrace with partial ocean views. It includes a large walk-in closet and a bathroom with an open-air shower. A separate building on the property houses a dedicated office. The home is equipped with ceiling fans, air conditioning, storm shutters, and a washer and dryer. It is offered fully furnished. The property features a landscaped backyard patio and garden area with a swimming pool, a sunbathing area, and an outdoor grill and kitchen. The grounds are fully walled-in and surrounded by greenery, providing privacy and security. Additional features include underground sprinklers and a new self-contained biodegradable sewage system. The area has reliable cable TV and high-speed Internet access. The property has a 'Uso de Suelo' designation that allows for the potential addition of a third and fourth floor, which would offer wide open ocean views.
