A getaway in the heart of Mid Beach

A getaway in the heart of Mid Beach.... 

After being gone for a while from my official blog, I am coming back with a new series I am writing, featuring homes that stand out in the south Florida community. 

I was lucky enough to spend the day a few days ago with some really good friends, lucky guys that have created an oasis in the middle of mid beach, Miami Beach. This is a 1940's restored residence that is not only exquisite but a gem of a house - complete with sun roof, main entry room, and real 1920's-40's antique pieces, this is one of a kind home. 

Hope you enjoy the pics and post. 






The front outside of this beautiful house and the main room once you enter this home... Simply amazing.. It looks both cozy and very classy... it also feels like a home and is very functional 


Beautiful Sculptures all around this home are simply amazing

One of a kind antique pieces are common throughout the home as well

This beautiful piece is from the 1930's

The office area overlooks the beautiful pool





The exquisite dining room




But the true fantastic part of this home is the pool and sun deck located on the roof complete with artificial TURF AND AMAZING DECOR.. THESE TWO AREAS OF THE HOME are not only the most used, but the most functional. Please see pics below...
