Mediterranean villa on Indian Creek

A 1936 Mediterranean villa on Pine Tree Drive, set on a 14,000-square-foot lot that runs back to Indian Creek, with a private dock and a lush, walled garden. The property has been recently reduced.

The house retains its original character — barrel-tile roof, arched windows, hand-painted pecky cypress ceilings and a coral-stone fireplace — and has been carefully updated with a modern kitchen, renovated baths, impact windows and central air. A gracious living room, a formal dining room and a sunroom overlook the pool.

There are five bedrooms upstairs and down, including a primary suite with a private balcony over the creek, and a paneled home office with built-in bookcases. A loggia with a summer kitchen connects the house to the garden.

The heated pool is surrounded by tall palms and bougainvillea, and the dock accommodates a 45-foot boat with easy access to the bay. Gated, with a two-car garage. Mid-Beach’s boardwalk and the ocean are three blocks east.
