Property Description

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.

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 Beautifuls architectural and cultural history is ready for its next chapter.
