For Sale in Mexico: A Stylish Modern Townhouse in the Heart of Mexico City

This four-bedroom townhouse with a first-floor gallery space and four terraces is in the affluent Mexico City neighborhood of Condesa. Built in 2019, the four-level home was designed by the well-known Mexican architectural firm of Ambrosi/Etchegaray, along with the interior design firm Esrawe Studio.

The 6,780-square-foot home is unusual for the neighborhood because it has a five-car garage, said Luis Díaz, an agent with Mexico Sotheby’s International Realty, which has the listing. The residence is built above the garage, where the main entrance is located.

A massive oak door opens into an entry foyer with an elevator that services all four floors. A small wooden stairwell lined with black Mexican marble is to the right of the entrance and leads to a square atrium space, also lined with marble, with a roof-level skylight.

A doorway in the atrium connects to the gallery, which has wood floors and recessed lighting. “This part of the house is basically the living room, but the owner is an art collector and he has his art featured here instead,” Mr. Díaz said.

Glass doors at one end of the gallery open onto a covered dining terrace with a bar overlooking the street. A hallway off the gallery leads to the combined kitchen, dining and lounge area. The kitchen has sleek Italian cabinetry, built-in Miele appliances and granite counters. Another set of glass doors at one end of the kitchen opens onto a second atrium, this one open at the top and with a tree growing up from the floor.

On the second level is an exercise studio with a glass wall overlooking the gallery, a steam room and shower, and a hot tub on an outdoor terrace. There is also a large office with built-in shelving.

Three bedrooms are on the third floor, each with its own bath. The primary suite has a lounge area, a glass wall overlooking the kitchen atrium and a walk-in closet.

The fourth bedroom, with a large closet unit integrated into the room, is on the top floor, where there is also a work space with extensive built-in shelving and cabinetry, as well as a rooftop terrace.

The home also has a water purification system, and the German-made windows block out street noise, Mr. Díaz said.

Condesa is a lively, walkable district that has become increasingly popular with tourists. Mr. Díaz compared it to New York City’s SoHo neighborhood, with its mix of stylish cafes and boutiques, restaurants and galleries. Condesa…
