I spent an hour and a half with the most wonderful woman yesterday, showing this stunning home and talking about what her life would be like here as she was thinking about spending the Season here in South Beach. Too much time? Perhaps to most. But in South Beach, a true luxury. The market in South Beach is driven by the beauty of the history of these treasured buildings, and timeless as they are, it’s rare to find one like Villa San Giorgio at 1545 Meridian Avenue.
