Casa Reforma is a restored Art Deco home in Mérida Centro, distinguished by its unusual width, strong natural light, and well preserved original details. High ceilings, original pasta tile floors, stained glass, and wrought iron doors and windows define the home’s architectural character, while all core infrastructure has been fully updated.

The property offers three spacious bedrooms and two bathrooms finished in Crema Maya stone. One bathroom features a glass brick shower inspired by classic Art Deco design. The kitchen was completely rebuilt with locally crafted cedar cabinetry, cement finishes, and granite countertops. All plumbing and electrical systems were replaced, which is a significant upgrade for a historic Centro home, and every room is prepared for air conditioning.

The living and dining areas are wide and open, separated by custom wrought iron doors that enhance airflow and bring additional light into the space. Ceiling fans are installed throughout, keeping the home comfortable year round.

The backyard is private and green, with mature plantings and a large filtered swimming pool with wide steps and built in seating. A tiled outdoor shower, tall privacy walls, and garden lighting make the space functional both day and evening. At the rear of the property is a separate casita currently used as an office, already plumbed for a future bathroom, along with a rooftop terrace suited for relaxing at sunset.

With an eleven meter frontage, this single level home feels notably bright and open and sits on a lot that allows for a future second story if desired. The front garden is framed by bougainvillea and includes a secure iron gate, rare off street parking, and a conveniently located septic system that simplifies long term maintenance.


The home is within walking distance of Paseo de Montejo, Santa Ana, Santiago, and Santa Lucía, offering immediate access to cafés, markets, and cultural venues while remaining removed from nightlife noise. A nearby police station provides an added sense of security and limits future construction next door.

What owning this actually involves

Mexico’s restricted zone runs 50 km inland from any coast and 100 km from any land border. A foreign buyer inside that zone holds title through a fideicomiso — a Mexican bank trust in which you are the named beneficiary, with the right to live in the property, rent it, remodel it, sell it and leave it to your heirs. Outside the zone a foreign buyer may hold title directly, with a permit from the Mexican government.

Which applies to this property depends on exactly where it sits. Ask us and we will tell you before you spend anything.

The purchase completes before a notario público, a state-appointed lawyer, and typically takes 30–60 days.
