Property Overview

A rare architectural treasure, masterfully reimagined. The Gustav Weber Jr. House, a Registered Historic Landmark in Miami Shores with Art Deco and Prairie School influences, occupies a lush 13,000-SF double lot. Shoreland Group’s two-year restoration and reconstruction, completed in 2023, preserved historic details while replacing all major systems and rebuilding the kitchen wing. Ceilings from 9 to 14 feet, oversized impact-rated casement and storefront glazing, skylights and an efficient layout create exceptional light and volume. This 4BR/4.5BA property features ensuite bedrooms, custom closets, solid-core doors, oak floors, two wood-burning fireplaces (one with gas hookup), Emtek hardware, Arte wallcoverings and Sean Lavin lighting. Baths feature Ann Sacks terrazzo marble and Clé cement tile. The relocated kitchen offers a six-burner BlueStar range, Thermador appliances and built-in speed oven. Rare city-supplied natural gas serves cooking, hot water and pool heating. A 15’ x 30’ heated saltwater pool anchors tropical gardens, a bamboo grove, four water features, limestone terraces, a 13’ x 20’ covered lounge and 750-SF turf play area, all enclosed by a 6-ft privacy fence. The detached 440-SF guest cottage offers a 14-ft vaulted ceiling, kitchenette, full bath and separate washer/dryer. Motorized shades, three-zone HVAC, hardwired security, landscape lighting and a gated five-car motor court complete the retreat.
