1250 Drexel Ave

A low-rise, two-story Art Deco apartment building constructed in 1939 and located in Miami Beach’s South Beach district. The property comprises a small collection of studio and combined-unit residences—some converted into one- or two-bedroom footprints—set around a shared courtyard and small private yards. Exterior character includes period nautical Moderne details, impact-rated doors and windows, decorative façade elements and perimeter fencing contributing to a secure, walkable street presence. Interiors reflect classic era finishes such as hardwood floors, marble baths, high ceilings and skylights alongside later upgrades: renovated kitchens, quartz or modern surfaces, central air in some units, and updated electrical and roof work. Unit layouts range from efficient studio plans with formal dining alcoves and abundant built-in storage to larger corner units with multiple exposures and private balconies or roof terraces. Common features emphasize low-density living: gated entry, shared laundry, limited on-site parking, and a communal rooftop terrace on select units. The building’s scale and location place it within walking distance of beaches, Lincoln Road retail, and neighborhood cafes, while periodic capital-improvement needs and occasional municipal compliance issues have prompted special assessments and renovation projects for some owners.
