Located at 3550 Stewart Avenue in the gated community of Entrada Estates, this Walter De Garmo designed villa has just closed for $2,600,000 or $444.00/square foot. It was on the market for just 45 days, and closed 7% off of its list price (below the historical average in the Grove of 10%). Built in 1923, the home had many of the original details including wood beam ceilings, a courtyard with fountains, sunroof, library and wine cellar. This 5,845 square foot home was situated on a 24,000 square foot lot, offered 5 bedrooms, 5.5 baths and an updated kitchen with a Wolf gas stove, SubZero & Miele appliances. 3550 Stewart Avenue was listed by Saddy Delgado of One Sotheby’s.

The home was last on the market back in 2005, when it sold for $1,800,000.

DeGarmo designed many homes and buildings throughout the Grove including the Women’s Club on the corner of South Bayshore Drive and McFarlane Road, as well as his own home of Villa DeGarmo located in what is now the gated community of DeGarmo Estates. He is known for his Mediterranean Revival style featuring beautiful courtyards, archways, stucco and open-air loggias.
