What Just Under $2 Million Will Buy in Coral Gables
April 2019
“Coral Gables has long set the high bar for luxury real estate,” says Forbes Magazine, and indeed it has some of the most valuable – and historic – homes in South Florida, with a median price per square foot ($423) almost twice that of the Miami/Fort Lauderdale area.
This month we take a look at three older homes in the center of Coral Gables, all completely redone and updated, with price points just under $2 million. While retaining their outward appearance, all have modernized interiors, with a penchant for spotless white.
