Our clients supply the vision. We supply the funding.
One of our most prolific clients, Shayne Black, has made a name for himself in South Miami. He has an uncanny knack for combining the old with the new and has reimagined several time-tested residences in the heart of Miami’s historic Shenandoah neighborhood.
His latest project at 1145 SW 20th Avenue is a testament to architectural preservation and modern innovation. This 1926 Spanish Mediterranean two-dwelling residence has been meticulously restored one square foot at a time.
Unparalleled Vision
As the owner of SBH Restorations LLC, Shayne has a well-established reputation for revitalizing Miami's historic homes. His previous projects include the transformation of 1636 SW 13th Street and 1679 SW 14th Terrace, as well as 1876 SW 11th Street. We were happy to be the lender on each of these fix-and-flip deals. These projects showcase Shayne’s ability to blend modern amenities with classic design elements, preserving the unique character of each property.
At 1145 SW 20th Avenue, Black has continued to make his mark. The property comprises two dwellings on an oversized lot: a main house featuring three bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, and an office that can serve as a fourth bedroom; and a guest house with two bedrooms and one bathroom.
Marrying Classic Charm with Modern Comfort
Armed with a renovation budget of $500K, Shayne focused on every detail, small and large, ensuring the home is as functional as it is beautiful. Inside the main house, visitors are met with coffered ceilings and French doors leading to the office. The kitchen and dining areas are an entertainer’s dream, having been updated with quartz countertops and smart appliances while still maintaining the home's historical aesthetic. Both dwellings boast solid white oak flooring, enhancing the property's timeless appeal.
But why spend your time indoors when the outdoor space is so inviting? The property's location on a one-way street ensures a peaceful environment with minimal traffic, and ample parking space adds to its practicality. The lot also offers room for a pool, which would certainly come in handy in sunny ☀️ Miami.
