About this Property

One of just seventeen historic landmark residences inspired by Italian farmhouses, this exceptional gated estate is nestled within Coral Gables’ prestigious Italian Village, one of the city’s most iconic and picturesque enclaves. Designed by renowned architect Robert Weed Law, the home reflects the vision of Coral Gables founder George Merrick and the architectural legacy behind “The City Beautiful.” Its story extends beyond local history: the residence was once owned by former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, son and brother of the 41st and 43rd Presidents of the United States. A distinguished example of Mediterranean Revival architecture, the home makes an immediate impression. Beyond the Chicago brick courtyard, a sun-filled entry welcomes you into interiors that have been thoughtfully updated while preserving the character and charm that make the residence so unique. Open, bright living spaces create effortless everyday living, entertaining, and gathering, with seamless access to a private rear courtyard. A 550 sqft detached one-bedroom, one-bath cottage offers additional flexibility for guests, extended family, a private office, or studio, while the separate garage adds everyday convenience. Significant recent upgrades provide added peace of mind and ease of ownership. Set within one of Coral Gables’ most distinctive historic neighborhoods, this is more than a residence. This rare piece of The City Beautiful’s architectural and cultural history is ready for its next chapter.
