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 […]

Let The Tickling Begin!

Lobster mini season opens at 12:01am! In just a few short hours the Florida Keys and Biscayne National Park are going to be inundated with hunters and gatherers looking for their bounty (although that bounty shouldn’t exceed 6 lobsters per day per person).
