Our property is not just a place to stay; it's a piece of architectural history, nestled in the heart of Coconut Grove. Originally built in 1948, it was designed by the renowned Alfred Browning Parker, a master of mid-century modern architecture, known for his innovative designs that harmonize with Florida's natural landscapes. This connection to a visionary architect gives our home a distinct character, blending timeless design with the lush surroundings of Coconut Grove.
What truly sets our property apart, however, is its unique location on an old coral rock quarry. This geological heritage has bestowed our grounds with a rare change in elevation that is exceedingly unusual in Miami's predominantly flat landscape. This natural undulation not only contributes to the aesthetic beauty of the property but also creates a variety of intimate outdoor spaces for our guests to explore and enjoy. The elevated points offer serene vistas, allowing one to appreciate the canopy of Coconut Grove from a unique perspective, while the lower areas are enveloped in the cool, shadowy embrace of ancient coral rock and tropical foliage.
This blend of architectural significance and unique natural features makes our property a true oasis in the city. It's a place where history, design, and nature converge to offer a unique stay experience that cannot be found elsewhere. Whether you're an architecture enthusiast, a lover of nature, or simply seeking a serene retreat from the hustle and bustle, our property offers a distinctive slice of Miami's heritage, making your stay not just a getaway but a journey into the heart of Coconut Grove's storied past and vibrant present.
