Tucked behind towering walls on an oversized 10,000 SF corner lot in the heart of Historic Bayside lies one of the neighborhood’s most enchanting hidden compounds. Built in 1926 as part of the original Prescott Collection of homes, Villa Murada is a rare two-story Spanish Mediterranean estate blending timeless architecture with privacy, romance, and modern livability. Offering ~3,000 SF of living space, the residence features 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, including dual ensuite retreats—one conveniently located on the first floor and a spacious upstairs primary suite shared with two additional bedrooms and a beautifully updated modern bath. Original hardwood floors, graceful Mediterranean arches, sculptural interior columns, and a dramatic fireplace evoke the elegance of Old Miami, while thoughtful upgrades including impact windows and doors, updated plumbing, and modern electrical systems provide peace of mind. The home offers a spacious laundry room, expansive formal dining room, large eat-in kitchen, and multiple living spaces including a great room and separate den. Designed for both intimate living and unforgettable entertaining, the property unfolds through a series of magical courtyards, lush garden moments, and resort-like outdoor spaces centered around a sparkling pool and spa. Mysterious, alluring, and entirely secluded, Villa Murada is Historic Bayside’s only true fully walled compound estate of its kind—an irreplaceable feature no longer permitted today.
