Welcome to 1720 Española Dr, a charming Mediterranean-style residence that captures the timeless character and warmth of Coconut Grove. Ideally located near Miami International Airport, Brickell, Coral Gables, Key Biscayne, Miami Beach, top yacht clubs, Wynwood, and the Design District, and close to Ransom Everglades and St. Stephen’s Episcopal Day School. Positioned 16 feet above sea level, it is not in a flood zone. Built in 1925 and offered for the first time since 1988, the home has been thoughtfully rebuilt and fully permitted to current code, blending modern resilience with historic touches such as a wood-burning fireplace. Renovations by architect and engineer Gerald F. DeMarco focused on strength and hurricane durability. All impact windows and doors are hurricane-rated, electrical has been updated, and the property features high-efficiency AC systems, tankless water heaters, and two updated ADT alarm systems. Hardwood floors, quartz countertops, and an inviting layout enhance everyday living. The private cottage offers guest or future apartment potential, while the 2024 climate-controlled garage includes custom cabinetry and hot/cold water. A sparkling pool, copper gutters, Chicago brick driveway, and lush, pesticide-free native gardens complete this rare offering.
