Here are two properties that we found interesting, but because both of them were located a little further out from downtown than we wanted to go, we decided not to pursue them (on behalf of our clients, of course)…
This one (I’ve shown the exterior before in this blog), in a sort of Venetian style, is in Belgrano on a historic street, where all the houses look like this or a colonial style…

Here’s the street, which doesn’t really do it justice as you can’t see how nice the houses are…
The one next door is for sale too a mirror image of this one… It’s priced a little cheaper than this one at $360k…
The next house I’d like to show you is a large, former mansion that is currently being used as a church mission house for boys… This is in an up-and-coming area northwest of Palermo Viejo, which is starting to be called Palermo Queen.
Honestly, we’re not crazy about the Tudor style, but this one had enough details to make it worthwhile…
There’s a lot of potential and a lot of space to work with, but a lot of work too… And it would have to come down quite a bit from the list price of $500k to make it work out with all the renovation needed to get the place where it should be…
Anyway, I don’t know if you’d want to rush down and buy these… but thought they might be interesting to look at. I always enjoy all the period details, details that would cost you mucho dinero to replicate in the US…

“..an up-and-coming area northwest of Palermo Viejo, which is starting to be called Palermo Queen.”
…I’m guessing that the only people starting to call it that are the people trying to sell properties there!
Great pictures by the way. Love to see the interior details of different old houses in BA.

Actually, I have also heard that name being thrown around for that area. However, it isn´t clear who is pushing for it like Alan mentioned.

People like Dalila make me laugh as she has been calling my area Palermo Soho for years when I only know it as Palermo viejo.
Some people have no shame when they are tring to make money
