3-story house on a lot of nearly 500 m² in Villa Devoto, with a large yard, barbecue area, and garage

STUNNING THREE-STORY HOME ON A LOT OF NEARLY 500 M² WITH AN EXCEPTIONAL GARDEN – VILLA DEVOTO 4600 Pareja, between Allende and Benito Juárez – Villa Devoto There are properties whose true value becomes apparent long before you step inside the house. In this case, the star of the show is an extraordinary lot of nearly 500 m², a size that is increasingly hard to find in Villa Devoto, especially when combined with a house of this scale and a garden that has been cultivated over decades. The lot has an 8.66-meter frontage and widens progressively toward the back for more than 50 meters, creating an exceptional green space with large trees, well-established vegetation, and a sense of spaciousness and privacy that is very rare within the city. On this lot stands a substantial three-story family home, featuring solid construction, generous proportions, and numerous custom details. The property has  more than 222 m² of covered area and 75.19 m² of registered semi-covered area—that is, nearly 298 m² of covered and semi-covered space combined—in addition to a very substantial open area of nearly 285 m². A HOME WITH CHARACTER AND HIGH-QUALITY CONSTRUCTION The property was designed approximately 50 years ago using materials and finishes characteristic of the grand homes of that era. A renowned cabinetmaker was involved in its construction, a fact still evident today in the presence and quality of the wood—seen in the grand staircase, doors, closets, paneling, bar, and numerous pieces of furniture custom-made for each room. It is a home with its own distinct identity, where virtually every room is generously sized, and this sense of spaciousness is evident in the living room, dining room, kitchen, bedrooms, and social areas. MAIN LEVEL – LARGE ENTERTAINMENT SPACES The entrance leads to a spacious social area consisting of a large living room and a large dining room, with clearly defined sections and excellent proportions. A striking central fireplace organizes and visually separates the two spaces, adding character to the entire reception area. The living room also features a unique, fully custom-built bar—another element that showcases the fine woodwork found throughout the property. The varying levels inherent in the design lend movement to the house and connect the reception area to a second space for everyday use. On this same level, there is a full bathroom and an additional room that currently serves as a guest room but, given its characteristics, could also be used as a fourth bedroom, etc. A KITCHEN OF UNUSUAL SIZE The kitchen is one of the rooms that best reflects the scale of the property. It is truly large, separate, and features an enormous amount of counter space and storage. It has extensive countertops, plenty of base cabinets and wall cabinets, a built-in oven, a central prep area, and large windows offering views of the greenery. It flows seamlessly into a large dining/family room, with enough space for a generously sized family table and room to create a TV area or casual living space. It’s one of those spaces that allows the whole family to gather without needing to use the formal dining room. PORCH, LAUNDRY ROOM, AND CONNECTION TO THE OUTDOORS The kitchen opens onto a spacious, partially covered porch—a true transitional space between the house and the garden. Its size makes it easy to comfortably set up an outdoor dining area or living space. The separate laundry room is also located in this area. And this is where the property’s greatest distinguishing feature begins. AN EXCEPTIONAL PARK IN THE HEART OF DEVOTO We’re not just talking about a backyard. We’re talking about a true private park, with depth, large trees, lawns, and mature vegetation that has developed over many years. The unique geometry of the lot, which widens toward the back, further enhances the feeling of spaciousness. It’s a garden to explore and enjoy, with different areas of sun and shade and enough space to plan—if desired—a pool and new outdoor areas without losing the park-like character. A scale of green space that is truly difficult to replicate today on a property within Villa Devoto. It is worth noting the GREAT POTENTIAL of the garden to incorporate a large swimming pool. STAND-ALONE BARBECUE AREA AT THE BACK At the far end of the garden lies another large social area. The property features a spacious, semi-covered barbecue area with a substantial wooden structure and roof, designed to accommodate a large table and large gatherings. It includes a grill, countertop, and sink, as well as an adjacent covered area that can serve as a living room, dining room, game room, or additional space. The area also has its own restroom, allowing the barbecue area and garden to be used practically independently of the main house. UPPER FLOOR – PRIVATE AREA An imposing custom-built wooden staircase leads to the upper floor. Upon arrival, you’ll find a spacious entry hall/intimate living area, large enough to serve as a library, home office, reading nook, or second living room. This space also features its own fireplace, adding another distinctive touch to the home. MASTER SUITE The master bedroom is generously sized and faces the park. It features ample custom-built closet space and direct access to the wrap-around balcony overlooking the garden. One of its most interesting details is the access to the private bathroom: the door is built into the front of the closet itself and is practically hidden when closed. The suite has its own full private bathroom. TWO ADDITIONAL BEDROOMS On this floor, there are two more bedrooms, bringing the total to four bedrooms in the private area of the house. One of them is quite spacious and offers ample storage, while the smaller bedroom can easily be used as a child’s room, an office, or a guest room. The secondary bedrooms share a second full bathroom, which includes a walk-in area—and, incidentally, boasts a remarkable design feature. Part of this floor also opens onto a long balcony facing the park, offering excellent views of the garden. LARGE TERRACE WITH POTENTIAL At the front of the property lies another surprise: a huge open-air terrace. Given its size, it offers multiple possibilities for use and also allows for the consideration of additional space development in the future. The specific possibility of expansion will need to be evaluated based on zoning regulations and technical feasibility. LOWER LEVEL – GARAGE AND MULTIFUNCTIONAL SPACES On the lower level is the covered garage, along with a significant amount of additional space. Given its size, this area can be perfectly adapted as a playroom, gym, workshop, professional studio, game room, hobby area, or large storage space. It also features another room connected to this level. At the front of the property, there is space to park additional vehicles on the lot without needing to drive them into the covered garage. In total, the property can accommodate three or four vehicles within its perimeter, depending on their sizes. LOCATION – VILLA DEVOTO The house is located on Pareja Street, between Allende and Benito Juárez, within one of Villa Devoto’s traditional residential neighborhoods. The location combines the neighborhood’s characteristic tranquility with excellent access to its main landmarks. The property is on Pareja Street itself, which forms part of the area surrounding Plaza Arenales—the traditional Plaza Devoto—one of the neighborhood’s main green spaces and gathering places. In recent years, one of the most important culinary hubs in the western part of the city has emerged around the plaza, featuring restaurants, cafés, bakeries, and establishments offering a variety of styles. Also nearby is the Ateneo Félix Marino, a traditional neighborhood club located on Habana Street in the 4500 block, known for its vibrant sports and social activities. The area also offers quick access to Salvador María del Carril Avenue, Francisco Beiró Avenue, Lope de Vega Avenue, and General Paz Avenue, as well as a connection to the Devoto Station on the San Martín Railroad and multiple public transportation lines. Villa Devoto retains a distinctly residential character, with tree-lined streets and a significant number of homes and green spaces; it is no coincidence that it is traditionally known as “The City’s Garden.” KEY DETAILS Lot: nearly 500 m² — 456.80 m² according to the survey.

It is something that is very difficult to find today: nearly 500 m² of land in Villa Devoto, a well-established, expansive garden, spacious rooms, three levels, four bedrooms, a garage, a barbecue area, a terrace, and construction featuring materials and carpentry of exceptional quality, not to mention the potential to expand the covered or semi-covered areas on the terrace and add a pool. The property retains much of its original aesthetic, which presents an excellent opportunity to carry out a contemporary renovation while respecting what deserves to be preserved: the scale, the architecture, the woodwork, the proportions, and the extraordinary lot.
