Miami International Airport is approx. 15 minutes away and the recently expanded Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport is approx. 20-minutes away. The Temple House, as it is now called, was originally constructed as a two-story Single Family residence in 1933 with the first stone laid by World renowned Architect L. Murray Dixon. Mr. Dixon architectural contributions include some of the most spectacular hotels in Miami Beach. In 1942 The Temple House was expanded and rezoned for the Joseph-Jacob Congregation which was subsequently renamed Temple Emanuel and moved to its new location in 1965. At that point, through the efforts of equally famous Architects Lester Avery, The Temple House expanded to a 16,350 square foot facility to accomodate a 1,000 member Orthodox Synagogue. In early 2003, The Temple House was purchased by the present Owner to begin the renovation of this spectacular largest Single Family residence in South Beach. Designed by the Owner to create a sensual, peaceful and tranquil environment, The Temple House is a modern work of simplicity, contemporary elegance and urban chic. In March of 2003, the present Owner bought the property and began an extensive renovation in which all architectual features of the building were painstakingly preserved while still allowing the installation of completely new electrical, plumbing, air conditioning and life safety systems. Distinguished by dramatic architectural design, this unique masterpeice contains over 16,000 square feet of living area with five bedrooms, five full bathrooms and one powder room.
