1560 Meridian Ave

A low-rise, two-story Art Deco condominium originally built in 1940 and converted into one-bedroom units during a 2016–2017 renovation. The Elena building presents the modest scale and streamlined geometry typical of South Beach historic stock while offering updated unit finishes and contemporary systems. Residences are primarily one-bedroom flats, many configured as corner or top-floor plans to maximize daylight through high-impact windows and remodeled openings. Interior features commonly include open living/dining layouts, Italian-style kitchens with quartz or ceramic counters and stainless-steel appliances, wood-look porcelain tile floors, in-unit washer/dryer hookups, and modern bathrooms with glass showers. Common-exterior attributes reflect the building’s urban South Beach setting: gated or fenced perimeter, high-impact entry doors, and periodic security upgrades. Shared operating model includes low monthly maintenance that often bundles utilities such as basic cable, internet, and some building insurance or water services. The property sits a block from Lincoln Road Mall and within short walking distance of the beach, Flamingo Park, and local dining/retail corridors, creating a pedestrian-oriented lifestyle. Leasing is generally flexible; some units have active rental income and the development has few or no short-term restrictions noted. Parking is limited by site constraints typical of the neighborhood; buyers should assume limited on-site parking and rely on neighborhood options.
