Remarks
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.
