Edificio Ajusco - "La casa de Luis Cabrera"

About this property

Edificio Ajusco — "The Luis Cabrera House" Plaza Luis Cabrera 10, Roma, Mexico City

Live a residential experience steeped in history, in the heart of Roma.

Residence located on the second floor of Edificio Ajusco, an early 20th-century building listed by Mexico's National Institute of Fine Arts (INBA) as cultural heritage. This apartment is part of a building with a history no new development can match: this is where Luis Cabrera once lived — lawyer, politician, and writer, a key civilian advisor to Venustiano Carranza during the Mexican Revolution — in whose honor the plaza across from it was renamed. Years later, that same plaza would become a gathering place for Beat Generation writers, cementing the cultural character of this corner of the city.

The building retains its Porfirian-era architecture, with French and Roman influences: a central courtyard, high ceilings, original wood flooring, carved frames, and cast-iron ironwork — only 25 units exist in the entire building. The residence itself preserves heritage details in excellent condition: an original plaster ceiling medallion and the building's original wooden staircase.

Fully renovated residence — 78 sqm of construction (131.28 sqm as deeded):

Primary bedroom with en-suite bathroom Secondary bedroom with en-suite bathroom Spacious living-dining area with abundant natural light and views of the central courtyard Fully equipped kitchen The residence also includes a private storage room and laundry area on the rooftop.
