Located on the iconic Francisco Sosa street, in the heart of Santa Catarina, this residence dates back to 1970 and was conceived by architect Manuel Parra under a design language inspired by Coyoacán’s colonial heritage. Its architecture emphasizes natural light, proportion, and the authenticity of materials: clay, cantera stone, talavera, wood, and wrought iron, all coming together to create a warm, elegant, and timeless atmosphere. Open spaces, double-height ceilings, exposed beams, and large windows define interiors that harmoniously connect with mature gardens, carefully preserved since the project’s origin. The vegetation, azaleas, bougainvillea, and poinsettias surround the property in a serene, lush green setting. The main house flows effortlessly into the outdoors; the dining room opens onto a terrace ideal for enjoying the landscape. Features such as the fireplace, traditional grain storage room (troje), and indoor pool, accompanied by fountains, add character and enrich the sensory experience of each space. Located just steps from Coyoacán’s historic center, the property offers an exceptional quality of life: cobblestone streets, rich traditions, vibrant cultural life, and an unparalleled selection of restaurants, markets, museums, and iconic landmarks such as Jardín Centenario, all with privileged connectivity to the rest of the city. As a distinctive feature, it was once the residence of former President Miguel de la Madrid Hurtado, adding a unique historical value. A property that embodies the spirit of Coyoacán: history, architecture, and an authentic way of living in one of Mexico City’s most charming and beloved neighborhoods.
