Miami | $2.3 million

A Pueblo-style house built in 1926, on 0.2 acres

This three-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bathroom house known as Casa Azul is in Spring Garden, a neighborhood less than 20 minutes from South Beach and bordered by the Miami River. A Metrorail station is a five-minute walk, and the University of Miami Health System hospital complex is a five-minute drive. The Wynwood Walls, a street art installation with surrounding shops, is a 10-minute drive, as is the Miami Design District.

Miami International Airport is 15 minutes away by car, and Boca Raton takes 45 minutes. Key West is a three-and-a-half-hour drive.

Size: 2,021 square feet

Price per square foot: $1,138

Indoors: The house is set back from the street, behind a front lawn framed by hedges.

The front door opens to the living room, with refinished original oak floors and a set of French doors facing the sunroom.

From the living room, an arched doorway leads to the dining room, which has windows overlooking the swimming pool. Through another arched doorway is a nook for a desk or a daybed. Off the other side of the dining room is the kitchen, with wood countertops and stainless steel appliances. Off the kitchen are a powder room and a laundry room with a sink and a washer and dryer.

A staircase off the dining room leads to the second floor and all three bedrooms. At one end of the hall is the primary bedroom, big enough for a king-size bed and with windows that look out over the patio and pool. Also off the hallway are two guest rooms, each with space for a queen-size bed. All three bedrooms share a full bathroom.

Outdoor space: Behind the house is a dining patio and a covered deck with space for a table and a grill, and around the corner is the in-ground pool. A lawn is surrounded by hedges and trees, and a detached pool house could be used as a gym. A detached garage holds one car, and another fits in the driveway.
