Given the soaring comps in Palm Beach and Dade counties, this historic gem designed by prolific Gold Coast architect Carlos Schoeppel (1898- 1990)—who was responsible for many of Miami’s original Mediterranean mansions-feels like an exceptional value at nearly $2.3 million.
Nestled on a lush, double corner lot in the charming Hollywood Lakes neighborhood, the rosy-hued four-bedroom, five-and-a-half bath stucco villa, called Pink Sands, was renovated and enlarged in 2024 by an award-winning local team that embraced this 1947 beauty’s original details, like the barrel-tile roof, period ironwork and coquina walkways. The 2,630-square- foot interiors include vaulted, exposed-beam ceilings and decorative tiles. Italian cabinetry, an oversized seamless marble backsplash, and a generous island that doubles as a breakfast bar add interest in the new gourmet kitchen. A custom walk-in closet, wet bar and a spa bath with a soaking tub and dual vanities round out the primary suite.
A charming mix of old and new, the home couldn’t be more convenient for hosting out-of-towners: Just seven miles from the Fort Lauderdale- Hollywood International Airport, the house sits a few blocks from the public beach and boardwalk as well as the Hollywood Marina. Want to play a few rounds? The private Shell Bay Yacht Club and the Hollywood Beach Golf Club, a championship 18-hole course designed by legendary architect Donald Ross in 1924, are a quick golf-cart ride away. Located at 856 Tyler Street, Pink Sands is listed with Nancy Batchelor at Compass.
