Property Description
Step into the gilded age of the 1920s with this magnificent, freestanding Art Deco villa, a residence that transcends mere housing to become a living piece of architectural history. Spanning an impressive 420 m² (4,521 sq. ft.) of meticulously preserved construction on a sprawling 820 m² (8,827 sq. ft.) estate, this single-level sanctuary is defined by its sophisticated silhouette. The property’s street presence is undeniably grand, featuring stately Art Deco columns, an intricate ornamental frieze, and handcrafted ironwork that scales the perimeter wall, offering a secure yet transparent glimpse into the lush, tropical gardens that buffer the home from the quiet street.
The interior journey begins in an elegant foyer, where the scale of the home immediately reveals itself. The layout is ingeniously conceived in a “narrow U” formation, centered around a deep, screened porch that serves as the home’s lungs. This design allows the majority of the rooms to enjoy triple exposure, opening to the central courtyard while maintaining exterior windows that invite the legendary Mérida breezes to flow effortlessly throughout. The floors are a vibrant tapestry of original pasta tiles, featuring incredible patterns that lead you through two stately sitting rooms and a lovely formal dining room—spaces designed for high-society entertaining and quiet, sun-drenched afternoons alike.
For the culinary connoisseur, the oversized chef’s kitchen is a revelation. Combining industrial power with regional charm, it features a professional-grade stove and oven nestled beneath a traditional
Mexican masonry hood, or
campaña. The home’s four bedrooms and four bathrooms are arranged in a classic
en filade sequence, providing an expansive sense of depth. While most bathrooms have been thoughtfully updated for modern comfort, one remains a pristine homage to the Art Deco era. The property’s functionality is further enhanced by a massive laundry room with its own full bath and a dedicated service entrance, allowing gardeners and pool technicians to maintain the grounds without disturbing the sanctuary of the main house.
The outdoor living spaces are nothing short of a private resort. The recently redone pool, accented by a soothing fountain and a newly installed trellis, is framed by verdant gardens and a covered porch that offers a cool respite from the tropical sun. For the creator or collector, the property includes a very large garage and a secondary former garage space, perfectly suited for transformation into a grand artist’s studio or extensive private storage. Positioned on Calle 33B—the tranquil border where Downtown meets the historic
García Ginerés—you are mere steps from Avenida Colón, the Slow Food market, and the cultural heart of Paseo de Montejo. Offered completely furnished with select exclusions, this villa represents a rare opportunity to acquire a home of substantial character and timeless elegance.
