Set along one of Coral Gables’ loveliest streets, this 1929 home has the kind of presence that doesn’t shout, but doesn’t go unnoticed either. Behind the ivy-covered walls and curved archways is a house that’s been enjoyed, looked after, and gently layered over time.

The architecture is classic Mediterranean Revival - arched windows, barrel tile roof, and thick stucco walls that keep things cool even when the Florida sun isn’t feeling shy. Inside, it’s all generous proportions and graceful flow, with high ceilings, warm wooden floors and a sense of calm that settles in the moment you walk through the door.

The rooms feel both elegant and lived-in. The dining room is perfect for hosting a relaxed dinner with family and friends (and the occasional impromptu dance step), while the den - with its built-in shelves and soft light - has likely seen its fair share of late-night reads and early-morning coffees. The kitchen, updated with care, is the sort of place where people inevitably gather, no matter how lovely the living room is.

Several of the pieces in this auction come from the house itself - furniture and objects chosen over the years to suit its easy-going charm. These aren’t showroom pieces; they’re well-loved, beautifully made and quietly expressive - much like the house they came from.

Out in the garden, there’s a large pool, a guest cottage tucked just out of view, and plenty of places to sit, sip, or do absolutely nothing at all. The feeling is less ‘curated landscape’ and more ‘grown into itself’: lush, private and deeply inviting.

And then, of course, there’s Coral Gables. Known for its leafy streets, old-world architecture, and a certain unhurried grace, it’s a fitting setting for a house like this - one that feels rooted, lived-in, and a serene haven for its lucky owners.
