Designed by Robert E. Collins in 1937, an example of a beautifully restored Art Deco house, the 3,917-square-foot home contains four bedrooms and five baths on a heavily landscaped and private third-of-an-acre lot. Light and bright with large windows throughout, the refinished first floor terrazzo floors have a brilliant shine and the second level floors are warm hardwood. The gourmet kitchen with wine cooler extends the house’s glamour theme with its eye-popping granite backsplash. The gated exterior has tropical landscaping, Art Deco shaped pool and 171 feet of canal waterfront leading into Biscayne Bay.
This wonderfully well preserved art deco house was designed by architect Robert E. Collins, who also designed the Tower Theater in Little Havana and the Cameo Theatre on Washington Avenue.
Collins was something of a specialist in movie theaters it turns out, which may explain why the house does have a very theatrical flair to it.
