Home in historic Centro

This heart-of-Centro home is value priced to reflect both the current market conditions, as well as allowing room for the cost of a new owner’s upgrades. Bring your tear-sheets from Architectural Digest and shape them to reality in your new Centro estate, only steps from the Jardin!

This home retained only the original historic façade as the architect built his own contemporary masterpiece inside. That original façade now forms the front building of this two-building home, housing bedrooms upstairs and downstairs in this front section, and maintained an elegant high-ceiling entry foyer for a dramatic entryway.

The central courtyard is currently hardscaped as an art gallery and oversized pool/fountain with a bridge walkway leading to the home’s all-glass façade and stone-column-bookended front veranda. Inside, the great room layout is anchored by a massive carved-cantera fireplace, while the second floor hosts exclusively the master suite, replete with a teardrop fireplace, outdoor terrace, oversized master bath with sunken tub and separate shower, and a mini-split. The third floor was originally a roofed terrace but has been enclosed with sloped glass to form an office, den or media area with a small terrace to the size. The photos show what the view could be from a roof terrace added atop this 3rd-floor den—they are stunning city-wide vistas above the treetops!

It’s extremely rare to find a home in historic Centro for under half a million dollars, but here is an opportunity just waiting for the innovative homeowner who wants to put their own stamp of creativity on a home that is much like a blank canvas, waiting to be molded into your own vision of perfection! Originally designed by a Miami architect.
