About This Home

As of December 2020

This once in a lifetime landmark home, located in the historic French Village of Coral Gables, has hosted a President & a Governor during its 95-year existence. Designed by renowned architect, Philip L Goodwin, this home reflects a classical French design. A substantial restoration in 2000 maintained the home s historic integrity while adding the most modern of amenities. The quality of the superior custom crafted interiors is exquisite. The gardens are spectacular & each angle provides an unsurpassed vignette of a refined & cultured life. This aptly named home La Belle Vie translates to The Good Life which is perfectly befitting this glorious property. This lovingly tended home is a treasure. A Very Special Home
