Welcome to THE ARTIST'S COTTAGE, an enchanting 1936 Mediterranean-inspired retreat whose grandeur is measured not by its modest footprint, but by its charm, character and historical significance. Built by the pioneering Hainlin family (as in Hainlin Mills Drive) in the Acadia subdivision of Miami's Historic Bayside District, this storybook cottage sits within a picturesque enclave designed by George Merrick of Coral Gables fame. Offering 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, this intimate residence lives surprisingly large with an inviting great room, airy kitchen and flexible layout offering two ensuite primary bedrooms. Lovingly maintained by its artist owners, this home blends vintage soul with modern comforts: newer roof with hurricane straps, updated plumbing and electrical, impact doors, new water heater, new gas stove, new washing machine, restored original windows, hurricane panels, multiple exterior decks and patios--all freshly painted inside and out. Native tropical landscaping frames a spacious backyard with plenty of room to expand, add a guest house and/or pool. On higher ground in desirable non-flood ZONE X, near Biscayne Bay, Baywood Park and Legion Park's popular farmer's market. A little whimsical, wonderfully distinctive, and undeniably Miami, THE ARTIST'S COTTAGE is your opportunity to own a piece of history and create your own masterpiece.
We fill in the price. This listing doesn't state its HOA dues, so that's yours to enter too, along with tax, insurance and maintenance — they depend on your exemptions, your insurer and the unit, so we don't guess them. Rent starts from what comparable units are asking nearby. Vacancy and the loan terms below start at common defaults; change them.
Median asking rent for 2-bed rentals across Miami-Dade, from 154 active listings; the middle half ask $2,400–$3,640.That is what landlords ask, not what units let for — edit it if you know better.
Enter HOA, property tax, insurance, maintenance to see the returns. A cap rate calculated without every cost overstates the deal — often by half — so we don't show a partial one.
Illustration only — not a loan offer, quote, or investment advice. We are not a lender and neither offer nor arrange financing. The loan fields start at 20% down over 30 years at 6.5% (rates as of July 2026); that is a nominal rate for illustration, not an APR, and your actual terms will differ. Cap rate is unlevered; cash-on-cash counts the down payment as invested capital and excludes closing costs.
