I’ve just listed this historical gem in South Miami. The original 2 bedroom home was built in 1909 and lived in by the supervisor of the mango grove. In 1941, a warm and inviting living room with huge fireplace was added along with the bathroom and a new breezeway. The old porch became the new kitchen as it stands today. […]
