The French City Village of Coral Gables

September 12, 2013

Earlier this week, I wrote about this lovely Cape Dutch home that was for sale last year in Coral Gables’ historic Dutch South African Village. I’ve decided to take a little trip down Memory Lane and share a few more homes in Coral Gables’ Historic Villages that were on the market when my husband and I were house hunting. Today, I will take you inside the French City Village as we tour 1033 Hardee Road.

The 18th century inspired houses on the 1000 block of Hardee Road were designed by two architects. Mott B. Schmidt designed the homes along the north side, inspired by the Renaissance architecture of Italy, and Phillip Goodwin designed the homes along the south side with a slightly more rustic appearance, yet maintaining a formal and classical design. (1033 Hardee Road is located on the north side.) Built in 1926, this French Rivera style home is just over 3,700 square feet and has 5 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms. It features a beautiful pool, herb garden, and antique clay floors from Provence. Let’s take a look!

 You know I love a blue and white living room!

This home is absolute French perfection! Up next… The Italian Village!

    It is difficult to say which of these villages is the best, but isn’t the French City one of the most beautiful blocks EVER?!

    Thanks for the “shout out.”
