Ciudad de Mexico, Any Cities In Ciudad de Mexico, 11000

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.
