Built in 1926 during the original development era of Coral Gables’ Riviera Section, this distinctive Old Spanish residence blends nearly a century of architectural character with a remarkably spacious and versatile floor plan. Period details—including graceful archways, hardwood floors, a classic staircase and fireplace—reflect the craftsmanship of the era, while generous living spaces and abundant natural light create an easy flow for modern living and entertaining. The 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath home offers flexible spaces throughout, including a light-filled sunroom and an expansive primary suite with an impressive custom walk-in closet. A detached studio with its own full bathroom provides valuable additional space for a home office, gym or creative use, complemented by a detached one-car garage and extra-long driveway. Rich in character and history, this special home offers an opportunity to own a piece of early Coral Gables architecture.Set along a quiet, low-traffic street, this is the kind of home that invites you to settle in and stay awhile— morning walks beneath the tree canopy, evenings spent entertaining at home, and everyday life surrounded by the charm and beauty that make Coral Gables so enduringly special. With the University of Miami nearby and the best of the Gables within easy reach, Certosa offers a lifestyle that feels both connected and wonderfully tucked away.
