Property Description
Discreet from the street, the home unfolds through a bamboo-lined entry beneath a mature oak canopy before opening to expansive lawns and tropical gardens anchored by a 42' heated saltwater lap pool. Centered around a tranquil Zen garden, the residence offers a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience. Originally designed in 1950 by architect Joseph DeBrita and fully reimagined by Shoreland Group in 2025, the 5BD/7BA home blends authentic mid-century design with elevated modern finishes. The reconfigured layout includes dual primary suites, spa-style baths with steam, custom millwork, terrazzo and European oak flooring, and a chef's kitchen with Miele, Fisher & Paykel, and Liebherr appliances.
Additional highlights include a cinema/game lounge, guest apartment wing, and a 1,000 SF covered outdoor pavilion with summer kitchen, all set within lush, private grounds. A rare offering combining scale, privacy, and architectural significance in a prime Miami Shores location.
