A Bright Star Has Dimmed in South Miami…Goodbye Hans Huseby:(

Hans Huseby, proprietor of FootWorks, father of the Mercedes Benz Corporate Run, a fixture in South Miami for the past 40 years, and THE most wonderful man passed away this past Saturday. So wonderful and loved was he that Sunset Drive from Red Road to SW 59th Avenue was closed […]

What a Difference a Decade Makes!

I’ve sold this flagship building on Red Road in South Miami twice! In 1999 Sunhouse Construction and the developers of Downtown Dadeland purchased the property for $465,000 and when they relocated in 2003 the building was purchased and completely renovated by the very talented Jorge Blanco, DDS, and his dental […]

Too Tired to Walk On Halloween?

I’ve had a couple of clients who recently moved to Miami ask me where they can relax and enjoy a Halloween Party with their kids. If you live in Coral Gables, Coconut Grove, South Miami, Pinecrest, or Palmetto Bay you are in SO much luck! These communities are so exceptional, […]

Trick or Treat on “Happy Street”!

I put my Halloween wares out last night. Actually, we carved a pumpkin about 10 days ago but with all the rain and heat it didn’t fare so well – it had a melt-down so to speak. Our house on “Happy Street” is ready for the Halloween Parade, which is […]

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 […]

Just Listed in North Coral Gables by Val Byrne! 841 Columbus Boulevard

A home sweet home with charm galore on one of George Merrick’s most quiet, beautiful, tree-lined streets in historical north Coral Gables. It’s one of the very few homes with three bedrooms and two baths under $500,000 in Coral Gables! An impressive double door entry opens to a warm, sunny […]

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 […]
