MLS #A12008977About This Property
On a vast, park-like half-acre-plus property, this venerable, classic "Old Spanish" style villa—designed by Alexander Dentman and greatly expanded in 1929 by Phineas Paist—offers preserved original charm and character in perfect harmony with its recent professional updating. There is a main two-story residence and a lavish 2-bedroom, two-bath separate guest house. Both structures are fully renovated with impact windows, new bathrooms, chef's kitchen with 6 burner Viking gas range and brand-new Sub-zero refrigerator, new 37' long pool, new landscaping and more. Phineas Paist (1873–1937) was the supervising architect for the Coral Gables Corporation and is credited with shaping the aesthetic identity of Coral Gables, Florida. He was a master of the Mediterranean Revival style, often collaborating with artists like Denman Fink to create iconic public spaces and landmarks. His portfolio includes some of the most recognizable structures in South Florida, many of which are listed on the National Register of Historic Places including Villa Vizcaya, Coral Gables City Hall, Venetian Pool, The Colonnade Building, the Old United States Courthouse and Douglas Entrance. This walled and gated close to 5000 square foot home has 6 bedrooms and 4.5 baths and is located close to The Coral Gables Country Club, Granada Golf Course, the Venetian Pool and is just a 15-minute Uber ride to Miami International Airport.
