Espanola Heights Houses For Sale

Welcome to 1720 española dr, a charming mediterranean-style residence that captures the timeless character and warmth of coconut grove. While public records reflect its original 1925 heritage, this estate has been completely transformed through massive, ground-up architectural and engineering reconstructions spanning 1999 to 2023. Designed by a premier architect and structural engineer (princeton/carnegie mellon) to maximize hurricane durability and structural resilience, the vast majority of this estate functions as modern construction. The true chronology of reconstruction: 2023: brand-new climate-controlled detached garage equipped with custom cabinetry, hot/cold water sink, tesla charger, and high-seer carrier ac units. 2018: complete gut-renovation of the custom kitchen and structural outer walls, new primary bathroom expansion, and a brand-new roof. 2014: downstairs bathroom and outer walls completely gutted and replaced from the ground up, including brand-new floor joists and main water lines. 2009: major structural expansion doubling the home's footprint. Added a concrete-reinforced second story featuring two large bedrooms, private balconies, a custom walk-in closet, and an extra-large soaking tub. 1999: custom masonry boundary walls and historic old chicago brick driveway installed. Premium infrastructure & systems: electrical: massive 400-amp industrial-grade capacity powering the entire estate. Climate control: two brand-new high-seer carrier units (2023), two custom mitsubishi mini-split systems for the garage and cottage, and a top-tier rheem unit (2018) in immaculate condition. Plumbing: 4 completely brand-new custom bathrooms (built between 2009–2018) serviced by a hyper-efficient network of 4 stiebel eltron tankless water heaters. Impact glass: full hurricane-rated impact windows and doors protecting the entire main residence. The detached cottage: features a private footprint with immediate capacity to restore a full kitchen and bathroom—perfect for a guest suite, office, or income potential. Positioned 16 feet above sea level in a preferred x flood zone (no flood insurance required), this property perfectly pairs historic soul with heavy-duty modern engineering. A sparkling pool, copper gutters, and lush, pesticide-free native gardens complete this rare, private grove oasis.
