The famed “Woodsong” home at 3003 Seminole Street in Miami’s hot Coconut Grove neighborhood has sold for $4.2 million. Featuring a stunning tropical modern design, surrounded by lush vegetation and a fresh-water pond, this home is truly one-of-a-kind. The buyer Pamela Day, developer and founder of Crimson Holdings, now owns a one-of-a-kind home that was built, and lived-in, by one of Miami's most iconic architects, Alfred Browning Parker. Known for his environmentally sensitive designs, this tropical modern home is one of his few remaining masterpieces and is affectionately named "Woodsong" as it is engulfed in mahogany wood, both inside and out. Compass represented both sides of the deal with Karina Reyes represented the seller Hans Feringa and Monique Feringa and Megan Probst represented the buyer.
The uniquely designed “Woodsong” home is made up of three distinct "pods" which are connected by an exterior breezeway featuring a 90-foot lazy river runs throughout the property. The backyard contains a sauna and a swimmable, freshwater pond.
The 4-bedroom, 5-bathroom, 2,600 square foot house is clad with solid Honduran mahogany, a valuable, high quality, durable wood that is one of the only genuine mahogany species that is grown today. Several floor-to-ceiling hurricane-impact windows and skylights, the home allows for an abundance of natural light and views into the botanical landscape. The “Woodsong” home is located in Miami's hottest neighborhood, Coconut Grove, with walkability to parks, the bay, and restaurants/bars.
As an ardent art collector and owner of multiple real estate assets in South Florida, Day's immediate connection to Woodsong was profound, perceiving it as a true work of art. Despite her extensive experience as a developer spanning over two decades, Day has no intention of altering Woodsong. Instead, she envisions herself as a guardian of the property, committed to preserving the architectural significance and original vision of Alfred Browning Parker, the esteemed architect behind Woodsong. Day regards it as Parker's magnum opus and aims to showcase it as such, carrying forward his legacy.
