About 629 Altara Avenue
A rare opportunity to own one of just 17 historic landmark residences in Coral Gables’ prestigious Italian Village. Inspired by traditional Italian farmhouses and designed by acclaimed architect Robert Weed Law, this gated Mediterranean Revival estate embodies the architectural vision of city founder George Merrick and the timeless elegance of “The City Beautiful.” Rich in history and distinction, the property was once owned by former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, connecting this remarkable residence to American presidential history. Beyond its charming Chicago brick courtyard, a sun-drenched entry welcomes you into beautifully updated interiors that seamlessly blend historic character with modern comfort. Bright, open living spaces offer effortless flow for everyday living and entertaining, extending into a secluded rear courtyard ideal for outdoor gatherings. A detached 550-square-foot, one-bedroom, one-bath guest cottage provides exceptional versatility for extended family, visitors, a home office, or creative studio, for a total of 3,203 living sqft! A separate garage and significant recent upgrades further enhance the property's appeal and ease of ownership. Nestled within one of Coral Gables’ most coveted historic neighborhoods, this architectural treasure offers more than luxury living. It is a rare opportunity to become part of the enduring legacy of Coral Gables.
