A rare Miami Shores offering, this gated Spanish Mediterranean residence pairs timeless architectural character with sophisticated modern luxuries and the exceptional versatility of a two-dwelling compound. The main home is accompanied by a detached 1-bed, 1-bath guest house, creating two legal residences on one property—a rare configuration that cannot be recreated under today’s building regulations. Inside, classic Mediterranean character is complemented by thoughtful modern updates, with beautifully appointed living spaces, a striking floating marble fireplace, and a natural connection to the surrounding grounds. The chef’s kitchen features custom teak cabinetry, marble countertops, premium appliances, and a generous breakfast banquette. The spacious primary suite includes a private terrace and spa-inspired bath. Unmatched outdoor living w/ 2 lanais and an upper terrace, each featuring its own outdoor kitchen/BBQ area. A 50-ft pool anchors the lushly landscaped grounds accompanied by a sauna. Grand stairways connect the upper terrace to the pool deck below, while a full wet bar creates an elevated setting for soaking in picture-perfect sunsets. Additional features include an air-conditioned 2-car garage, gated side parking, EV charging, whole-home municipal gas generator, Control4 smart-home tech, & rare duplex zoning. A distinctive MShores estate offering privacy, character, & the uncommon flexibility of a true two-home compound. Chandeliers might be excluded
