Imagine: it’s 1925 when author Captain John A. Cook built this fine example of Mizner vernacular architecture at the time when the City Beautiful, Coral Gables, was in its infancy.
The home has been preserved with original porcelain and brass fixtures throughout, Moroccan style sconces and original Leonard Cleaning Co. refrigerator, which has been re-purposed as a wine cooler.
The living areas are lavished with colorful Cuban tile combined with pristine terrazzo flooring, Pecky Cypress ceilings, and period decorative moldings.
The majestic rotunda foyer welcomes its visitors with a winding rose’ colored marble staircase. Other features include lap style swimming pool, huge attic storage, commercial grade appliances and state of the art security system. Near Venetian Pool and Biltmore Hotel.
Address: 2508 De Soto Blvd, Coral Gables, Florida
