One of the most beautiful historic buildings in San Telmo, located on wide tree-lined Avenida Caseros, immediately adjacent to Lezama Park. Occupying an entire city block, the locals refer to this building as "El Edificio de los Ingleses" (The English Building), because it was originally designed to house British executives who came to build the country's railway system. These days--in addition to being privately owned residential housing-- our building is a favorite choice for film shoots, appearing frequently in TV commercials and feature films. Meticulously cared for and maintained, the building is one of the few in San Telmo with all its original architectural features. The apt has been updated and modernized but retains the original hardwood floors, 12 ft ceilings, mosaic tile, the old style "bovedilla" undulating brick ceiling in the kitchen, etc. And it is furnished with many Argentine retro/midcentury modern pieces from the 50s, 60s and 70s.

The neighborhood of San Telmo-- the heart of BA's historic district--has a decidedly bohemian look and feel and can be compared to Greenwich Village in Manhattan, Back Bay in Boston, or Montmartre in Paris. It is home to many professionals, artists, musicians, and expats who are drawn to its gritty but trendy urban old world charm. Cobble stone streets, colonial architecture, a multitude of great restaurants, cafes, bars, tango clubs, museums, antique stores, etc. On Sundays, Defensa street (1/2 block from the entrance to our building) is closed to traffic and becomes a 30 block pedestrian walk way with musicians, tango dancers, buskers, arts and crafts stands, etc. And the famous San Telmo flea/antique market is held every weekend in the main plaza--the Plaza Dorrego--only 6 blocks away. San Telmo is conveniently located downtown, and is adjacent to beautiful Puerto Madero on the river, to Barracas (the design district), and to the charming neighborhood of La Boca. Close to everything! The building is in the southern, quieter part of San Telmo. which has more of a neighborhood feel and is less crowded and touristy. This block of Caseros Avenue is the heart of San Telmo's new southern restaurant district. There are 10 restaurants, bars and cafes, most which have outdoor sidewalk seating. One of them is a natural foods restaurant and bakery, offering vegetarian and gluten free options. And there are many other great eateries nearby.
