1720 Espanola Dr, Miami FL 33133

Welcome to ESPANOLA HEIGHTS — a Mediterranean-style, detached two-story single family residence in Miami-Dade County. This charming home, built in 1925 and offered for the first time since 1988, blends historic character with modern resilience across 3,090 sq ft of living space on a 10,500 sq ft lot. The property at 1720 Espanola Dr, Miami FL 33133 sits 16 feet above sea level and is not in a flood zone.
Thoughtfully rebuilt and fully permitted, the renovation by architect/engineer Gerald F. DeMarco focused on strength and hurricane durability: all impact windows and doors are hurricane-rated, electrical systems updated, high-efficiency central A/C and tankless water heaters installed, and two updated ADT alarm systems complement the owned burglar alarm. Interior features include first-floor entry, hardwood floors, a wood-burning fireplace, quartz countertops, and an inviting layout with additional “other” living-room and interior details. Appliances include a dishwasher, refrigerator, and other equipment/appliances.
Outdoor living is private and lush with a garden view, pesticide-free native landscaping, a sparkling pool, copper gutters, a Chicago brick driveway, and a barbeque area. The property includes a climate-controlled garage (2024) with custom cabinetry, hot/cold water, one garage space plus additional parking spaces available. There are also possibilities for a private cottage to serve as guest quarters or a future apartment.
Located in the Espanola Heights subdivision, the home is conveniently 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. Local schools: Coconut Grove Elementary, Ponce De Leon Middle, and Coral Gables High. No community amenities are offered — this is a private, rare offering that combines historic charm with modern upgrades.
