1535 Meridian Ave

A small, two-story Art Deco apartment building dating from 1935, composed of about a dozen studio/one-bedroom units arranged around a gated entry and landscaped courtyard. The façade and massing reflect the period’s Mediterranean-leaning Art Deco vocabulary: modest ornament, painted stucco, and a human scale that fits South Beach streets. Units are primarily efficient studios and one-bed corners offering abundant natural light and original character elements such as pine plank floors in some homes, while many have been tastefully renovated with modern kitchens and baths. Common areas are intimate and low-maintenance: a paved courtyard/patio, a fenced garden edge, and a secure intercomed entry. Building systems have been recently maintained — a new roof and completed 40-year inspection are noted — and the small association allows short-term leasing (six months plus one day or shorter terms in some listings), making it flexible for investors. On-site features are minimal: no garage parking is specified, pet and specific service policies vary by unit, and parking is typically street or nearby public options. The property’s walkable Miami Beach location places it within minutes of Lincoln Road, Flamingo Park, Ocean Drive and the beach, delivering a lifestyle tied to dining, shopping and recreation rather than extensive on-site amenities.
