El Portal is a half-square-mile village on the Little River where the whole town is a bird sanctuary — peacocks in the yard, old Florida bungalows under the trees.
This little village has been protecting its wild side since 1937, when it declared itself a bird sanctuary, and it's guarded a Tequesta burial mound even longer. The homes — Sherwood Forest cottages, Mission-style bungalows, mid-century blocks along the river — are small on paper and rich in character. We specialize in exactly this kind of house: sensitive renovations that add a modern kitchen or a second bath without losing an ounce of soul.
"They gave our 1938 bungalow a new kitchen and kept every bit of its charm. Even the peacocks approve."
