A rare opportunity to own a meticulously renovated Spanish-style home in the heart of Coral Gables. This is not a flip — every material was sourced and every detail was intentional. The result is a home that cannot be replicated. The great room is the heart of the house and immediately tells you what kind of property this is. Soaring cathedral ceilings clad in original pecky cypress and old Florida pine, exposed wood trusses, and ornate antique corbels create a space that is both dramatic and deeply warm. A book-matched albesia wood mantle anchors the wood-burning fireplace as a true focal point — the grain pattern and natural edge make it a functional piece of art. Arched doorways, dual chandelier pendants, and recessed lighting complete the space. The chef's kitchen is bold and built to perform. Matte black shaker cabinets with brass hardware frame the room, while marble countertops and a farmhouse sink with brass faucet keep it refined. Appliances are top-tier: Sub-Zero refrigerator, Thermador gas range, and matching Thermador double wall oven with built-in microwave. A glass-door pantry provides generous storage, and the striking black-and-white patterned tile floor grounds the whole design. Exposed beams carry the living room's aesthetic seamlessly into the kitchen. The dining area is a nod to craftsmanship from another hemisphere — imported Mexican terracotta tile flooring, custom imported woodwork details, and a wide arched opening connecting the space to the living room make this an entertainer's dream layout. Luxury vinyl plank flooring runs through the main living areas, combining the warmth of hardwood aesthetics with durability built for South Florida living. The primary suite offers a genuine retreat — vaulted beamed ceilings, arched entry, wall-mounted TV, and direct access to one of the most impressive walk-in closets you'll find at this price point. Custom floor-to-ceiling wood built-ins with dedicated shoe display, drawer banks, and full hanging sections sit over large-format marble porcelain tile. The primary bath carries the same level of finish: Carrara marble countertops, polished brass widespread faucets, and classic white subway tile throughout. Outside, the home delivers privacy and beauty in equal measure. A deep backyard with mature tropical landscaping and a covered pergola wrapped in lush greenery creates an outdoor living space that feels like a private escape. The front elevation is pure Coral Gables — white stucco, clay tile roof, bougainvillea climbing the façade, and a covered porte-cochère entrance with hanging macramé swing chairs flanking a solid wood front door framed in hand-painted Talavera tile.
