Historic Walter De Garmo Villa Blends Indoor and Outdoor Living for a Tropical Escape

Known as Villa Allegra, this Mediterranean-style landmark melds the architectural charm of the Spanish Riviera with sophisticated luxury living in Miami’s coveted Coral Gables neighborhood.

Designed by prolific architect Walter De Garmo, the historic 6,044-square-foot walled and gated villa spanning 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms features a breathtaking ivy-covered indoor garden and open concept main floor that masterfully blends indoor/outdoor tropical living. Three secluded bedrooms open out to the luscious private backyard with over a dozen fruit trees.

A central indoor courtyard steals the show, connecting the airy formal and casual dining rooms and spacious recreation and family rooms. This verdant landscaping is the design focus, accented by natural wooden beams and light colors throughout. A second indoor courtyard separates the recreation room from a bedroom, and the formal living room and primary kitchen are bookended by a statement staircase, featuring one of several original stained glass windows.

The second floor was transformed into a sprawling primary suite, boasting a sitting area, office, coffee bar, expansive walk-in closet with his and her bathrooms, and a private terrace off of the bedroom. A separate full living service quarter completes the beautiful property.

1006 S Greenway Drive is listed for $5.1 million by Laura Roxana Garcia and Paola Marulanda with ONE Sotheby’s International Realty.
