Located at 1917 Bahia Vista Street, this mid-20th-century residence offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a home where timeless design, authentic character, and lush tropical privacy converge.
Set on a supremely private, verdant lot, the main residence features three bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a sun-drenched Florida room that seamlessly blends indoor living with the surrounding gardens.
