A house you won't forget. And neither will its garden.

Some properties are bought with the head. And some houses are bought with something more. This is one of the latter.

Located in Tlalpuente, one of the quietest and most established neighborhoods in the Tlalpan borough, this two-story house of ~224 m² of built area on a lot of almost 1,000 m² combines architecture with unique character — red split-face block, natural stone, wooden beams, skylights — with generous gardens that are now a rarity in any borough of Mexico City.

Ground floor — The heart of the house
The ground floor welcomes you with a spacious living room, with handmade clay tile floors and beige split-face block walls with exposed brick that give it a rustic-contemporary warmth that is hard to replicate. The fireplace becomes the focal point of the space: ideal for cool nights in the south of the city.
The dining room flows naturally from the living room, in an open, well-lit layout, with a view of the back garden.
The kitchen stands out for its central island with a green handmade tile countertop, double sink, and generous workspace. The style is intentionally rustic-modern: materials with character and contemporary functionality; all the tiles are fine Talavera . Includes a built-in pantry for maximum use of space.
The ground floor also has a separate study — one of the most valued spaces in today's market for those who work from home — and a service room with its own bathroom.
The front and back patios frame the property. The back garden, spacious and very green (visible in the photographs), is this house's most powerful emotional asset: well-kept lawn, mature trees, and real privacy.

Upper floor — Rest and privacy
The upper floor is accessed by a wooden staircase and houses the bedrooms and a distribution hall. The varnished wood plank floors and ceilings with wood paneling create a warm, luxury-cabin atmosphere. The skylights (6 in total throughout the house) flood the spaces with natural light without compromising privacy. At least one bedroom has a generously sized walk-in closet — a detail the $8M market demands, and this home has it.

What makes this house unique
• Genuine architectural character. Split-face block, Talavera tiles, stone, wood, and handmade clay. This is not a builder's finish: it is a house with its own identity that no new development can reproduce.
• 6 natural-light skylights. A luxury that transforms the experience of living here.
• Functional fireplace. Perfect for Tlalpan's climate.
• 10 m³ cistern + 1,100-liter rooftop water tank. Complete water autonomy — especially relevant in an area where water is delivered by tanker truck.
• Separate study. Workspace or 4th bedroom without renovations.
• Full service room. A detail that eliminates friction in everyday family life.
• Private garden on an almost rural scale in CDMX.
• 56 years of remaining useful life according to the official appraisal — a solid structure with a bright future.
