Pre-War Properties for Under $1.5 Million

JP Faber

Residential real estate in Coral Gables is suddenly in demand, with most buyers coming from the Northeast nationally, and from Brickell locally. Inventory for single family homes is shrinking, and prices are consequently rising. The hot spot right now is a home for between $1 million and $2 million, according to the pundits at BHHS/EWM. With that in mind, we asked three real estate agents to submit one of their homes for sale in the low end of that price range – give or take a few hundred thousand dollars – and built in the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s. Here is what they came up with, in different Gables locations.

Central Gables 1940

3270 Riviera Dr.
Listing Price: $1.3 million
3 bed/2 bath/2 car garage/pool 2,158 sq. ft.

Great central location, walking distance to Coral Gables Library, University Park, War Memorial Youth Center and the Biltmore Hotel. This 1940 home has been updated with impact glass throughout, and a modern kitchen with stainless steel appliances. What makes it special are oak wood and travertine stone floors, crown molding and a working coral rock fireplace. Family room overlooks pool and tropical landscaping.
