Re: 319 El Vedado
Good yuntif!
I spoke to Dan Hanley who represents Celia Farris' estate about 319 El Vedado.The house has been in a trust since 1991. Wells Fargo is the current trustee. Celia's two daughters are the principal beneficiaries.
Wells Fargo is having the house appraised. It will likely then be listed but no decision has been made on price or broker.
Keith Tieste (who used to work for Dick Allison's brokerage) now manages Wells' trust-held real estate will be influential in the decision making. Dan is calling him to ask him to call me before he lists the house and give me a heads up. Depending on your interest, I could call him now and express more interest.
Her property is 125 feet wide by 160 feet deep. Judging from the plat, only about the west 35 feet is waterfront, and the remaining (easterly) 90 feet abuts your land. The house is on PAPA at 12,400 square feet. As you know, it was built for Consuelo Vandrbilt, and has (or used to)high ceilings and pretty good parquet floors and boiserie.
Let me know.
High interest

This link is the best aerial photo view I've found that shows 319 El Vedado and its relationship to 358 El Brillo. The dock and tennis court on the left (west) belong to Diana Wister. Rand Araskog is directly across El Vedado and Wilbur Ross is at the corner of Pelican. Tom Quick is to the east of 319 and directly behind 358.
The link below is to the PAPA aerial.

It appears the the east boundary of 319 El Vedado is just east of the waterfront facade of your main house.
