Casa Irma Serrano ''La Tigresa''

Mexico Sotheby’s International Realty presents the Majestic House that belonged to Irma Serrano “La Tigresa,” an iconic figure of Mexican culture whose life was filled with color, passion, and overflowing talent.

Located in the heart of Avenida Paseo de la Reforma, a place where history and glamour intertwine in every corner. Since its inauguration, the house has been a refuge of creativity and splendor, where music and art resonated within its walls, echoing the vibrant life of its owner.

Built in a classic architectural style, it is an example of a mid-20th century luxury residence  with eclectic and European neoclassical flair. “La Tigresa’s” house stands as a symbol of its time. Inside, the salons, decorated where art and luxury meet, were the backdrop for memorable dinners and dazzling events, where influential figures from cinema, politics, and entertainment gathered. Artists, writers, and political leaders have crossed its threshold, turning every encounter into a celebration of life and creativity.

Irma Serrano, with her charisma and talent, attracted the elite of society, creating an atmosphere where ideas flourished and dreams were shared. In this sense, her home can be compared to the splendor of Catherine the Great’s palace in Russia, who, like Irma, used her residence to celebrate the culture and politics of her country, but in a context of monarchy and absolute power.

In her property, Irma Serrano was the queen of the night, creating an environment where creativity and art intertwined with high society. Just as Catherine the Great surrounded her palace with artists and intellectuals, La Tigresa gathered the greatest talents of her time in her home, leaving an indelible mark on Mexico’s cultural history.

By acquiring this unique property, the new owner will not only take charge of a house but also a legacy. A collection of invaluable items that belonged to Irma Serrano “La Tigresa” will be handed over, each with its own story, memories, and magic, such as the representative painting at the entrance of the house, where Irma Serrano appears in the style of the “Maja Desnuda.”

As a special touch, a ”lucky box” will be part of this transaction, containing a mysterious art object that only the buyer will know about. This hidden treasure symbolizes the very essence of La Tigresa: a touch of intrigue and the promise of new adventures and good fortune, inviting the new owner to continue the legend of a home that was, and always will be, an icon of Mexico City where luxury prevails throughout history on the most important avenue.
