Miami Historic Homes







One of Lake Belmar‘s interesting landmarks is the “Historic Lake Belmar Canal“. From this map you can see that there are no homes directly on the canal but have to cross the street to reach their waterfront properties. These canal front properties are literally “waterfront” – their water frontage is located on the front of their property rather than the back. The canal has open access to Biscayne Bay and the Ocean.
One of a kind home in South Florida. This was the famous Phillips Home in Miami and is registered as a historic Dade Landmark! This beautiful property boasts many of the original features that have been masterfully restored such as wood flooring and hand blown glass. Updated kitchen featuring granite. Four bedroom, 3 bathroom house with pool and dock with no fixed bridges. Home includes gorgeous Florida room, large dining room, large bedrooms. Truly a must see!



Features include:
4 bedrooms / 3 bathrooms
3,410 square feet of living space
19,125 sq. ft. lot (125 X 146)
canal front with dock
barrel tile roof
pool
Dade-County Landmark
Mediterranean Revival Architecture
Because Miami Historic Homes are my specialty, I will add that this Mediterranean Revival home with Moorish influence is definitely one of a kind. From the window details in the front to the meticulously restored casement windows, you can tell that this residence has been someone’s pride and joy. Notice the exposed wood beams in the family and living rooms, the woodwork, interior and exterior stucco and gorgeous hardwood floors. In addition, to be located across from the Historic Belmar Canal says enough about the historic relevance of this property and although I was not able to find out about the “Phillips Family” that first owned the property, I can’t wait to find out more about it. 
Following there are more pictures that describe themselves the distintictive design and beauty of some of the homes in that enclave as well as the boats and lushly landscape in the surroundings.
