Historic mansion in the Center of Montevideo

This is an elegant historic mansion in the center of Montevideo, whose construction dates back to 1912, on a project commissioned by the English owner Sir Henry Hamilton. An example of prestigious architecture, with valuable finishes, where everything has been strictly preserved and cared for. The luxurious pinotea floors, the huge windows, the remarkable central skylight and the majestic staircase leading to the upper floor, are practically intact. The restoration begins from the essence of the building, to continue with contemporary “habitat,” addressing the needs of modern life, the pleasure of sharing, and the various functionalities that the owner has envisioned for these spaces. An opportunity to stay in a true historic home, representing the architectural and monumental heritage of the city. 5 rooms are decorated as “Wunderkammern” and characterized by aesthetics and the relaxation area. Next to the main entrance, there is a store with curiosities that the owner has been collecting over the years: accessories, furniture, old and modern objects found in travels around the world and carefully selected, manufactured by the “Uruguayan Industry.” Even what furnishes and decorates that mansion is for sale. Due to its historical value and original decoration, all interior and exterior spaces present an interesting and original setting for filming, commercials, and photo shoots.
The neighborhood Centro, originally called “Ciudad Nueva” in contrast to the “Ciudad Vieja”, is one of the main neighborhoods of Montevideo, with Avenida 18 de Julio as its axis, from Plaza Independencia to Ejido Street. It occupies the territory of what historically was the city’s walled military field, a strip of land in front of the walls reserved exclusively for defensive purposes. Today, a large concentration of services, public and private offices, shops, cinemas, and theaters make it one of the most lively areas in the city.
