Miami, FL - A one-of-a-kind Miami property with more than a century of family history has officially hit the market for the first time since 1923.
Located at 752 NW 7th Street Road in the Spring Garden neighborhood, the two-story home—known as “Seven Oaks”—is listed for $2.75 million.
Originally built in 1916 by Miami’s then-Postmaster General, the estate later became home to the late Ruth Greenfield, a civil rights pioneer, musician, and founder of one of the South’s first integrated arts schools, the Fine Arts Conservatory.
Greenfield lived in the home until her passing in 2023 at age 99.
Set on 0.66 acres, the residence sits on the largest lot in Spring Garden and was once shaded by seven signature oak trees.
With five bedrooms and three and a half baths, the nearly 3,000-square-foot house is filled with natural light, white walls, and hardwood floors. Its foyer once echoed with music from Greenfield’s piano lessons—a tribute to the artistic life she led.
Timothy Greenfield-Sanders, Ruth’s son and a noted filmmaker, reflected on the estate as a space full of potential, creativity, and history.
One piece of that history—a 1950s abstract painting of his father—still hangs inside.
Surrounded by a neighborhood that once included Florida icons like Marjory Stoneman Douglas and tennis legend Gardnar Mulloy, the Greenfield home offers buyers the chance to own a rare piece of Miami heritage—while preserving the legacy of a family that helped shape it.
