Behind an unaltered early-twentieth-century façade in central Montevideo, this residence has been rebuilt entirely from the inside out — a project undertaken purely so its owners could make it their own forever home, and the care shows in every detail. A marble-floored entry hall, its original plasterwork and brass fittings intact, leads to a full-height living and dining room, its restored brick wall anchored by a wood-burning stove and a custom black steel staircase. Floor-to-ceiling glass opens onto a private, skylit interior courtyard planted with lush greenery and a Japanese maple — an architectural centerpiece rarely found intact in a house of this age. The ground floor also holds a bedroom, a dressing room, and a compact marble-and-black kitchen. Two further bedrooms and a spa-style bathroom with a walk-in rain shower sit above; a second stair continues up to the roof. Below, a climate-controlled wine cellar set into the original stone foundation doubles as a den. The rooftop is the surprise: a full outdoor level with a covered parrilla, in-ground jacuzzi, lawn, and its own powder room, built for entertaining under the open sky.
Spanning these levels are three bedrooms, two full and two half baths, and a private garage, with the property being eligible for local bank financing. While the residence features 202 square meters of enclosed, climate-controlled living space, the true scale of the property is defined by a massive comprehensive footprint. This area is distributed seamlessly across a 96-square-meter ground floor, a 69-square-meter upper bedroom level, the expansive 128-square-meter rooftop complex, and the home's original structural framework, culminating in a 391-square-meter grand total that perfectly balances historic interiors with private outdoor infrastructure.
