This spectacular Mediterranean Revival house on Flamingo Drive in Miami isn't a massively-scaled Old World palazzo decorated with minimalist restraint that appears to put historic style in check whenever the house isn't just a pile of white boxes. It kept its effervescence, with Baroque and Rococo touches, and maybe even a little bit of Vienna thrown in, while still being a comfortable but not enormous 4,700 square feet. For $4.5 million, the Intracoastal-fronting old-world mansion, because that is what this is, is classy and full of beautiful things including the furniture and fixtures, wallpaper, vaulted and coffered ceilings throughout, original bathrooms, and chandeliers.
