Palatial Residence in Bosques de las Lomas Designed by the acclaimed architect Roy Azar, this mansion was featured in the inaugural issue of Decor International Magazine (1998), where it was praised for its functional yet majestic concept, with expansive spaces, soaring ceilings, and large windows that exalt natural light. Set on one of the most prestigious streets in Bosques de las Lomas, the estate offers 1,425 m² of construction on a 1,174 m² lot, distributed across four symmetrical levels with dual street frontage. The main entrance recalls European palatial estates and world-class hotels: a sculpted garden vestibule, antique-style lanterns, and a vehicle bay for direct drop-off. From here, one can access either the garage for 12 cars (8 covered) or the lush private garden. The interior vestibule, with its triple height, skylights, and curved walls, bathes the space in natural light. This central gallery includes a guest powder room, a large study/office with TV lounge, and a cozy half-moon sitting nook. Throughout the residence, refined materials elevate every detail: varied marble, solid woods, embroidered silk and cotton wall coverings, and gilded accents that underscore sophistication. More than a luxury property, Villa Romana is an architectural masterpiece that celebrates the art of fine living, blending grandeur, elegance, and functionality into a timeless residence.

English-Style Residence on Boulevard de los Virreyes Located in the heart of Lomas de Chapultepec on the iconic Boulevard de los Virreyes—one of the most exclusive avenues in Mexico—this property, known as Casa Downton, evokes the charm of medieval castles built during England’s Tudor dynasty. Spread across five levels and offering 1,142 square meters of construction in reinforced concrete and brick, the residence is defined by its spaciousness, functional layout, and privileged setting within the diplomatic district, with 24-hour municipal surveillance. High- quality materials underscore its architectural character and durability, while interior finishes in solid pine wood, classic plank flooring, built-in desks and closets, well-preserved wallpaper, and an imposing stained-glass window reflect timeless European elegance. The 516.92 square meter lot includes a flat garden that extends into protected federal land with independent access, a service hut for events and banquets, and a bathroom for guests. The covered garage accommodates up to four cars, with additional space inside the property for six more—ten spaces in total. Despite its location on one of the best- connected avenues in western Mexico City, the garden and outdoor dining terrace offer total tranquility, open skies, and verdant views reminiscent of English suburbs. A secondary formal entrance framed in hand-carved quarry stone and artisanal stained glass opens into a gracious foyer with imperial-style twin staircases. This leads to the main living area, which includes a formal double parlor, fireplace, tea or game area, and a dining room seating over 24 guests, discreetly connected to the kitchen through a hidden pantry. The kitchen features a cozy breakfast nook with garden views, a walk-in pantry, and direct access to the service areas. Also on this floor are a guest powder room and a multi-purpose underground pantry. Half a level below, a large library area includes a fireplace, sitting area, private office, and direct access to the outdoor terrace. The second floor features an expansive sitting room with kitchenette, bar, dining area, TV lounge, and private office, along with plumbing installations for an additional bathroom—perfect for transforming this space into a fully independent guest apartment. The third level houses four bedrooms. Two share a full bathroom, while the primary suite features two independent bathrooms—one with a bathtub—a spacious walk-in closet, fireplace, and enough room for a private sitting area and/or private office. This floor also includes an open office area with access to a charming private terrace. The home offers two staff bedrooms with two full bathrooms, a separate room for drivers, service staircases throughout, and four storage rooms—two interior and two on the rooftop. Lastly, a separate entrance from the garage leads to the basement level, which includes a wine cellar, full bathroom, and a generous open space ready to be converted into a game room or private retreat. This exceptional residence offers classic character, generous living space, and a unique opportunity to live surrounded by nature in one of Mexico City’s most distinguished and secure neighborhoods.
