A House to Hold All...
Is your art collection so big that now you need to start your own museum? Then consider this early twentieth-century Mexican edifice known as Villa Beatriz. A principal residence in the highly sought after downtown area of Guadalajara, Jalisco, this beautiful neoclassic home was built in 1911 by the renowned architect Don Eulogio Herrera on a 2,700-square meter lot, 2,000 square meters of which is occupied by the building. Since completion, Villa Beatriz has had only two owners: from 1911 onwards it was inhabited by federal senator Don Antonio Perez Verdia who sold the residence to Spanish immigrant Don Francisco de la Torre Ramos in 1936. De la Torre occupied Villa Beatriz for over half a century before his passing in 1993, installing all modern services without intruding upon the abode's structural integrity. To this day, Villa Beatriz remains in the hands of the De la Torre family who recently decided to put the residence on the market through Líder Bienes Raíces real estate agency. This enorrnous structure is a rare example of unaltered neoclassic Mexican architecture and forrns a part of the cultural heritage of Mexíco. Asking price: 3 million dollars.
