Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2006
Reuben Pacheco bought this property with his partner, Tim Jacobsen, in 2006. Reuben, a real estate veteran of 22 years, fell in love with the city of Buenos Aires and decided to make a 2nd home in the "Paris of South America". Upon closing, Reuben worked closely with a NYC designer to transform the apartment into something special. The apartment contains designer Italian leather furniture, specially commissioned paintings and an overall emphasis on tranquility. For the past two years, Reuben has really enjoyed renting out this second home and meeting many new people along the way. Reuben owns his own real estate company in Los Angeles and continues to work in the development and investment end of the business.
Why the Owner Chose Buenos Aires
Reuben Pacheco and Tim Jacobsen both found a connection to the city of Buenos Aires. As a city with strong European ties, both south and north, they both found the city to be a blend of Europe and Latin America. Both have found the people to be especially warm and restaurants that parallel the best in the world.
The Unique Benefits of this Condominium
Living amongst the locals is key. Our apartment is part of a very well established neighborhood in Buenos Aires (Recoleta) Here we find ourselves out of the main tourist traps and amongst families and locals just "living their lives". Tree-lined streets and just about everything at your finger-tips makes it a fun place to stay. Our apartment has a wonderful PRIVATE garden to the back of the unit that is extremely peaceful and beautiful. Buenos Aires is a bustling city and the unusual quietness of the unit makes it a retreat within the heart of the city.
