About this home
This corner of San Telmo needs no introduction: Defensa and Brasil is pure Buenos Aires history. Living here means having the iconic Bar Británico right across the street, El Hipopótamo just down the block, Lezama Park within sight, and being just a stone’s throw from Caseros Boulevard and Plaza Dorrego. It is, without a doubt, one of the city’s most special and photogenic corners. The apartment is on the first floor (accessible by stairs) in an old building with only two units that share an entrance. It was recently renovated with impeccable taste: it preserves all the charm of the era while adding modern comforts. - Entry Hall: A stately central space that seamlessly connects all the rooms through stylish openings. - Living Room and Dining Room: A large social area connected by an arcade. The dining room features a spectacular unobstructed view of Lezama Park. - Master Bedrooms: Two spacious bedrooms facing the front of the house, both equipped with double-pane windows (DVH) for perfect noise and temperature insulation. - Flooring and period details: Limestone with an incredible design in the hallways and impeccably preserved hardwood parquet in the main living areas. - Kitchen and Patio: A brand-new, highly functional kitchen with space for a dining area, opening directly onto a private patio with a grill. - Upper Level / Third Bedroom: Upstairs is a very comfortable and bright third bedroom, adjacent to its own renovated bathroom with a shower. An ideal space for guests, a home office, or a creative studio. - Master Bathroom: Completely renovated to look brand new. - Corner Terrace: Shared only with the other unit in the building, it spans the entire corner, is furnished with furniture and plants, and offers unique panoramic views of the park and the neighborhood’s buildings. As it is a historically protected property, it is exempt from paying ABL, and the maintenance fees are extremely low. This is an unmissable opportunity for those seeking to acquire a property with true heritage value, a character all its own, and an unparalleled location in the cultural heart of Buenos Aires. -- Listing Agent: Jorge Izrastzoff / CUCICBA 1354 - CSI 7304
Buying in Argentina as a foreigner
Yes, foreigners can buy property in Argentina.
The most important restrictions concern rural land, properties containing or bordering significant bodies of water and properties located within border security zones.
- Near coasts and borders
- Argentina does not have a coastal restricted zone equivalent to Mexico's. To preserve a common schema, this field groups areas subject to special rules: rural land, border security zones and certain properties involving significant permanent bodies of water.
- Residency
- Property ownership does not automatically grant residency. You must prove recurring income (Rentista Visa).
- Taxes and closing costs
- They depend on the state, the municipality and the property itself, so there is no single national figure. Ask the agent or our Concierge for an estimate on this home.
- Financing
- Financing for foreign buyers may be limited and depends on the lender, residency, documented income, financial history, currency, down payment and property type.
How buying works
Obtain tax identification
Obtain a CUIT or CDI as applicable and prepare passport, powers of attorney, translations and source-of-funds documentation.
Legal due diligence
Review title, ownership, seller restrictions, liens, debts, cadastral status, condominium rules and the seller's legal standing.
Check special restrictions
Determine whether the property is rural, located within a border security zone or contains or borders bodies of water subject to restrictions.
Reservation, contract and deed
Define price, currency, deposit, conditions and timelines; then execute the deed and register it.
This information is general and educational. Rules concerning purchases, taxes, rural land, security zones and registration may change or be interpreted differently by jurisdiction.
