Bold Red House with French Flair Hits the Market in Miami

The iconic “red house” on the Gold Coast is making waves as it hits the market for the first time in 20 years. Designed and built by Francis and Michele Errera, the bold red home stands out among the coastal properties, drawing inspiration from the couple’s French roots.

Located at 1 Kelly Ave, Miami, the five-bedroom, four-bathroom house offers stunning ocean views from Burleigh to Coolangatta. The unique property, known for its crimson exterior and ornamental flourishes, has become a local landmark.

The interiors of the home are a blend of French and Asian influences, featuring soaring ceilings and blond-toned timbers. The two-story floorplan captures views from almost every room, with elements of Feng Shui incorporated for a harmonious living space.

Listed with Michael Kollosche and Matthew Follent, of Kollosche, the property is set to go under the hammer on May 17. The house boasts a heated saltwater pool, indoor entertaining lounge, and al fresco terrace for large gatherings.

Mr. Errera, the owner, shared, “We love the red color. First of all, I am from Bordeaux, which is the world capital of red wine. Also, we have lived in Asia, in Hong Kong and China, for many years, and in China, the color red and the number eight are very important. They mean success and long life.”

With its prime coastal position providing direct access to North Burleigh’s surf beach and surrounding amenities, the property has attracted plenty of interest from curious locals and potential buyers. Whether as a family home or a development opportunity, the “red house” offers a unique and desirable lifestyle on the Gold Coast.

As the property goes up for auction, all eyes will be on this one-of-a-kind gem that stands out for its bold design and French flair in the heart of the Gold Coast.
