629 Altara Ave, Coral Gables FL 33146, is one of seventeen historic landmark residences inspired by Italian farmhouses in the city’s Italian Village. Designed by architect Robert Weed Law, this 1928 detached, two-story Mediterranean residence reflects the architectural legacy of Coral Gables founder George Merrick.
Behind a gated entry, a Chicago brick courtyard leads to a sun-filled entrance and bright interiors that have been thoughtfully updated while preserving the home’s character. The 2,653-square-foot layout includes open living spaces, first-floor entry, a recreation room and access to a private rear courtyard. Central air, central heating and ceiling fans provide year-round comfort.
A detached 550-square-foot cottage includes one bedroom and one bathroom, offering flexibility for guests, extended family, a private office or studio. The property also includes a one-car garage, attached covered carport and paver-block driveway parking on a 6,600-square-foot lot with garden views. Significant recent upgrades add convenience to this distinctive Coral Gables residence, once owned by former Florida Governor Jeb Bush.
