This little jewel box in the form of Art Deco known as the Streamline Moderne style a few blocks south of 41st Street in Miami Beach, hit the market on Friday for $2.5 million. There may be loads of small deco hotels and apartment buildings from the 1930s on the beach, but a pristine single family home is a much rarer fish indeed. The Depression decade wasn't the best time for mansion building.

A large mediterranean revival house converted into stylish apartments, a half a block from Lincoln Road, in the heart of South Beach but still in a mainly residential area, is on the market for $3,050,000.
