Lola, 3609 Washington Road, Southland Park, West Palm Beach — a 1946 cottage restored by GDR Development and Imago.
Lola was never meantto be replaced.

Some homes begin with blueprints. Lola began with history. Lovingly restored from an original 1946 cottage, every detail honors the life that came before while creating a new chapter for generations to come.

Thoughtfully crafted by GDR Development & Imago, Lola is more than a luxury residence. She's proof that the most beautiful homes already have a story.

Lola's white clapboard facade and standing-seam roof at dusk, lamplight in the windows, palms overhead.
The entry hall, an antique console beneath brass sconces, light drawing down a run of oak floor.
The living room under a vaulted, beamed ceiling, linen sofas gathered at a limestone fireplace.
Morning at the round table by the open garden door, coffee in hand, white roses in a stone bowl.
The covered loggia at golden hour, lanterns lit above a long table, the pool and palms beyond.

She is not quite finished.

Stay with her until she is.

The Story

A rare piece ofWest Palm Beachhistory.

Originally constructed in 1946, Lola is a rare piece of West Palm Beach history, nestled within the storied Southland Park neighborhood. Rather than being demolished, the original cottage has been thoughtfully restored and re-imagined, preserving the character and soul that made it worth saving. The result is an extraordinary home that seamlessly blends timeless provenance with contemporary luxury—offering one of the few opportunities to own a residence where history and modern living exist in perfect harmony.

Our Story

Casa del Árbol

the Tree House

For generations, the home was affectionately known as Casa del Árbol, the Tree House. A tribute to the iconic banyan that stood proudly at its heart. Like the home itself, Lola represents a beautiful second act: a thoughtful restoration where history is preserved, character endures and a new chapter begins.

A name with personality. Warm. Romantic. Memorable.

Less like a development. More like someone you've always known.

The Design

Every detail of Lola has been considered with respect for her past and a vision for her future. Original character has been thoughtfully preserved, while contemporary architecture has been seamlessly introduced to elevate the home for modern living. Natural materials, handcrafted detailing and timeless craftsmanship come together to honor what once was while creating a residence designed to endure for generations to come.
