THIS IS MORE THAN ANOTHER HOME - IT'S MIAMI'S PAST AND PRESENT UNDER ONE ROOF

Welcome to ‘Casa Lumina’ a century-old Buena Vista East compound reimagined as a modern design masterpiece. With over 3,400 square feet, 5 bedrooms, and 4.5 bathrooms, this fully renovated home blends historic character with today’s most luxurious upgrades.

The main residence offers 3 bedrooms/3 bathrooms, including a rare first-floor primary suite. Original Miami-Dade pine floors, wainscoting, and an original clawfoot tub honor the home’s history, while marble baths, white oak stairs, hurricane-impact windows, and a chef’s kitchen with granite waterfall counters and gas cooking elevate it to modern standards.

At its heart, is a heat/chill saltwater pool framed by Tulum inspired lush landscaping with a natural IPE wood deck. An oversized detached two storied dwelling downstairs offers a gorgeous versatile space with a relaxed organic feel, ideal as a lounge, office or creative retreat opening to the pool for effortless indoor-outdoor living. This oasis sets the stage for family gatherings, Sunday Fundays, or late-night entertaining in complete privacy.

While upstairs offers a two-bedroom residence with private entrance, kitchen, living room, and laundry perfect for extended family, friends or extra income.

This compound offers three kitchens, three living rooms, and two laundry rooms, the home is designed for multi-generational/functional living and entertaining at scale.

With a new roof, impact windows, new plumbing/electrics, natural gas, and an elevation of 16 feet above sea level in a no-flood zone, Casa Lumina is as future-proofed as it is beautiful. Steps from the Design District and minutes from Midtown, the beach, and the airport, this is more than a home — it’s a rare lifestyle investment and an entertainer’s dream.
