Al Capone’s former Miami Beach estate

The former home of legendary gangster Al Capone has hit the market for $8.45 million.

The 10,000 square-foot, 7-bedroom is located on the Palm Avenue in Miami Beach. The home sits on a 30,000-square-foot lot with 100 feet of water frontage. It includes a main house, a two-story guest house, a pool and a private beach.

Capone bought the mansion, built in 1922 by Clarence Busch in the early 1920s for $40,000. He invested a considerable amount renovating the property, adding a cabana, an above ground swimming pool, heavy wooden doors, concrete walls and a guard house. Capone is said to have devised the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre from this home and died in one of the bathrooms in 1947.The building had a succession of wealthy owners after Capone's death but fell into disrepair during the 1970s and 1980s. It was restored and put back on the market in 2011.
