It’s Throwback Thursday!

In 1997 I sold this home in South Miami to very good friends (seems like a lifetime ago). It wasn’t the ‘dream house’ we had been looking for but it had all the makings for it: a beautiful half-acre on a quiet winding street, good floor plan, a giant detached […]

It’s Throwback Thursday!

Well this was a dramatic change, especially in South Miami! The original house was built in 1961 and occupied by the most wonderful family for over 50 years. Bettie and Frank may have been my very favorite neighbors, and when we sold this sweet house on the Snapper Creek Canal […]

It’s Throwback Thursday!

This house in South Miami has had nine lives and lots of kids since I first sold it back in January, 2004. Originally built in 1952 with a ‘hacienda’ flair, it had been partially updated when I listed it in 2004 and then again when I sold it in 2010. The current […]

It’s Throwback Thursday!

This one definitely got better with age. I sold this home just behind Dante Fascell Park near Epiphany School the first time in 1994 and then sold it again in 2011. The current owners have excellent taste; the interior is as beautiful as the exterior, and the landscaping is simply […]

What Can The Young and Restless Do in Coral Gables in the Wee Hours of the Night?

Well, for kicks you might swim with the alligators in the canals at Gables-by-the-Sea; or maybe check out Ray Allen’s house while the wife and kids are sleeping? NOT. It does make for some interesting reading though. This weekend some restless party goers at a home on Lugo Avenue in Gables-by-the-Sea […]

It’s Throwback Thursday!

This is probably my favorite throwback in South Miami because it goes ALL the way back! Every time I drive or walk by this home I think, “You’re not getting older, you’re getting better”! I love this place (and its owner) and the gorgeous 15,000sf corner lot it sits on. Had […]

Just Listed For Sale by Val Byrne in Pine Vista South!

Come see this sprawling ‘ponderosa’ in Pine Vista South; minutes to Suniland, Dadeland, & Baptist Hospital, but removed from the hustle and bustle. A long, stately driveway leads to impressive double-door entry and formal foyer; sunlight fills every room from there on. Expansive social spaces throughout the home allow for […]

The Grass Is Green On The Other Side!

Several years ago I had the pleasure of meeting Charlotte Dison at one of my Sunday open houses in South Miami. Mrs. Dison and I live in the same neighborhood just behind Dante Fascell Park and adjacent to Epiphany Church & School. Charlotte wasn’t looking to buy a home in […]

Attention Urban Dwellers!

LUCKY YOU if you live in Coral Gables, Coconut Grove, South Miami, High Pines (and Ponce corridor), or Pinecrest, because they are Farmers’ Market communities! A community is only as good as its ‘sense of community’, and there is something wonderfully refreshing and ‘grass roots’ about bumping into friends and […]
