Pretty-in-Pastel Miami Beach Deco Gem Asking $1.295M

Tucked away in a residential neighborhood off 41st Street on Miami Beach is this beautiful little art deco house. Built in 1940, the house was designed by Robert Little, an architect known for his spaceship-inspired Pick Music Library at the University of Miami. At a modest 1,800 square feet, the residence has a lovely, bright interior with renovations that remained true to its original style, although it could still use some improvement (upgrade that generic kitchen, then maybe replace terrazzo for that tile, and we've got ourselves a real winner). The exterior, however, is gorgeous with a unique, circular porch. The 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom is going for $1,295,000.—Alexandra J Miller
