Known forcheaphistoricwaterfrontcoconut-grove
Directions

A hidden waterfront gem in the heart of the Grove, this 1890s pioneer home sits on a lush bayfront hammock with grand old trees and Biscayne Bay views for just a couple of dollars entry. Locals love it for sunset picnics on the lawn, moonlight concerts, and a rare pocket of calm off Main Highway. Caveat: it's small with limited parking, the house tour keeps set hours, and there's no swimming or big playground, so it's more for relaxing than active outings.
