One of Miami Beach’s most historic homes, the G.E. House of the Future, built in 1934 by iconic architect Robert Law Weed, but associated with the 1933 Chicago World’s Fair, is on the market for $5.390 million, and boy is it a deliciously well-restored art deco gem. The history of the 1934 G.E. House of the Future is quite fascinating, but unfortunately, I can’t find much online to link to. I know it’s in a book I have in a box somewhere, which I can’t really get to right now. There was a version of the house that was actually built in Chicago which still exists as well, called the Florida Tropical House, but this is that house’s overlooked younger, and larger, sibling. If anyone can fill us all in on the rest, please do. Until then, here we are.

I’m sharing it because it’s an art deco dream anyway, and great real estate eye candy. Located at 5959 La Gorce Drive, the 4,400-square-foot house has five bedrooms, five baths, lots of sunny terrace space, a pool with little statues that double as fountains, and a sunny multipurpose-type room, which could easily be an office or conference room, with 20-foot ceilings and its own entrance. The house last sold in 2004 for $1.2 million, so we can easily say that even with the cost of the renovations they made, the owners, who obviously love this place, will make a handsome return on their investment.
