842 Espanola Way FL 33139

Casa Pacific, a 1935 historic art deco house, (Mediterranean Revival), designed and built by famed Miami Beach architect L. Murray Dixon. Literally the convenient center of South Beach. A less than 10 minute walk to Lincoln road, 5 minutes to Espanola Way restaurants, and a short bike, golf cart, or scooter ride to the beach, pool and tennis courts in Flamingo park, and every possible beach convenience. It is truly beach living at its finest without the constant elevator rides of the high-rise residential tower. In the heart of the action, yet an oasis of tranquility thanks to its location at the end of a residential dead end street while abutting quiet Flamingo Park. There is abundant parking thanks to special zoning only for the 800 block of Espanola Way. Parking for golf cart, 2 Vespas, covered secure parking for bikes. A large Florida room greets guests upon entry. The Florida room, large dining room, and kitchen each access the backyard garden; setting the stage for amazing indoor/outdoor parties with great circulation. A protected side garden is visible from the Florida room and is perfect for showcasing orchids or other ornamental plants. Inside Casa Pacifica there are 4 big bedrooms; each with closet space. Current bedroom use includes: a professional music/recording studio, guest bed with full bath, large home office for 2 professionals, and large master bedroom with walk-in closet. Both the guest bed/bath and music studio have separate entrances and each can be locked off from main house. The guest bedroom opens onto a lush backyard oasis. Master bath has walk-in shower and large tube overlooking the garden. In winter, you and guests are lulled to sleep by a water feature in the garden?s plunge pool and gently awakened in the morning by nature. Complete privacy is found in the backyard thanks to no direct lines of site from any neighbor and with only one adjacent house abutting the property. A hard wired gas grille, Key West teak bar, large coral stone deck, sunken outdoor ?living room,? custom tile koi pond, and plunge pool with water feature complete a garden and backyard built for entertaining. Additional storage awaits past the fenced yard for storing additional seating or for gardening supplies. The residential dead end street means minimal car traffic; perfect for outdoor play for children. Friendly neighbors plus alarm system means complete peace of mind and security while at home or away on business. Whether hosting a dinner party for 12 or a private DJ party for 50 noise is no issue as Flamingo Park abuts to the South making noise complaints. Casa Pacifia, a true one of a kind historic gem in South Beach, ready for retreat, study, business, or entertaining.
