1460 Ocean Dr

The Drake is a low-rise, boutique Art Deco condominium on Ocean Drive in Miami Beach, constructed in 1937 and standing four stories with elevator access. Units are primarily two-bedroom, many arranged as two-level layouts that emulate townhouse circulation: living and entertaining spaces on the upper level with bedrooms below. Original period details—terrazzo or terracotta-style floors and stylized façade motifs—have been combined with contemporary upgrades in several residences including renovated kitchens, modern baths, raised ceilings, new HVAC, and impact-rated windows and doors. Common elements emphasize small-building living: a fenced courtyard and outdoor decks/terraces, awnings, security-grade doors, exterior lighting and limited onsite storage. Parking is handled via metered street spaces and nearby public garages rather than dedicated garages. The association has completed major recertification work and periodic building renovations; on-site laundry is noted in some listings and the property accommodates short-term rental allowances with defined limits. Located within the Art Deco Historic District on Ocean Drive, the building places residents steps from the beach, restaurants, galleries, and Lincoln Road, combining seaside access with lively South Beach street life.
