Tour a Mexico City maisonette defined by minimalism and restraint

On a tree-lined street in San Miguel Chapultepec, just steps from Chapultepec Park, Montes de Oca House presents a compact, sculptural façade set against jacarandas and palms. The original structure has been retained and recently renovated, its street elevation defined by solid walls, gridded openings and a quiet material palette that distinguishes it within the residential block.

Spanning 194 square metres across three levels, the interior continues the restrained approach with wood flooring and heritage tiling throughout. Light enters from both orientations — morning through the front façade, afternoon across the rear patio and rooftop terrace. Outdoor space unfolds vertically, with a terrace and roof garden extending the footprint upward. Located in one of Mexico City’s established residential enclaves, the four-bedroom, four-bathroom house is listed for $23,000,000 MXN (1.33M USD).
