Reimagined 1940s Estate on Miami’s Most Historic Street Is Listed for $15M

A landmark 1940s estate in the heart of Miami has been given a spectacular new lease on life—and is now offering the opportunity to own a slice of old-world charm and new-world luxury, as well as a piece of the city’s most historic street.

Freshly listed for $14.9 million, the residence at 3120 Brickell Avenue has been meticulously renovated, reconfigured, and expanded into a six-bedroom luxury retreat spanning approximately 6,000 square feet.

Set on a generous 17,480-square-foot lot, the home honors its historic roots while embracing a refined, modern aesthetic.

The stunning dwelling was completed in 2024, proving that there is still plenty of demand for homes with history in the Sunshine State—so long as they have been impeccably reimagined.

The estate is nestled along the stretch of Brickell Avenue long known as “Millionaire’s Row,” a prestigious enclave celebrated for its grand early 20th-century estates. Today, it remains one of Miami’s most coveted and recognizable addresses.

“Fully turnkey, this rare property on historic Brickell Avenue offers the character of a classic Miami home with the comfort, style, and sophistication of contemporary living,” the property description crows.

The home, which is listed by John Reaves of Sotheby’s International Realty, showcases a striking fusion of Art Deco and Colonial architecture, seamlessly blending historic character with timeless elegance.

“This is an amazing opportunity to live on historic Brickell Avenue in a completely reimagined home,” Reaves explained.

But, Reaves revealed, there is even more to the property than meets the eye, particularly when you cast your gaze elsewhere in the local neighborhood, which has been home to a host of A-listers over the years.

The listing agent noted that the historic street has previously counted Madonna and Sylvester Stallone among its residents, while billionaire hedge fund manager Ken Griffin now owns a trophy property just across the avenue.

Even for those who care little about a property’s celebrity pedigree, there is ample on offer, however, particularly for those with a penchant for history and heritage, which this dwelling has in spades.

Though it has been through a dramatic redesign, that work was carried out with incredible respect of the dwelling’s historic bones, carefully preserving its most important period treasures.

“Every detail has been carefully curated in this thoughtfully redesigned floor plan,” adds the listing.

The outdoor area is surely the crown jewel of the property, thanks to its resort-style pool, which anchors the manicured grounds.

“Outdoors, the sprawling grounds provide endless possibilities for entertaining, recreation, or future enhancements, creating a true tropical oasis,” the listing adds.

The listing and Reaves both highlight the home’s location, which offers “easy access” to the “glamorous Miami lifestyle.”

In fact, according to Reaves, buyers are often surprised by just how central the location is.

“You’re seconds from downtown Miami, down the street from Vizcaya, and have easy access to Coconut Grove, Miami Beach, and Key Biscayne,” he explained.
