Coconut Grove, the oldest continuously inhabited neighborhood in Miami, is known for art festivals and a laid-back yet genteel atmosphere. When entering “the Grove,” one passes Vizcaya and many other impressive residences, including this three-level, palatial estate soaring 21 feet above sea level on a limestone ridge.

Partially visible past the wall crafted of limestone blocks, the seven-bedroom, seven-full-bath, two-half-bath, 6,890-square-foot home was built in 2020. Its location on the ridge allows the home to enjoy a full basement, an amenity virtually unheard of in South Florida, and many other unique features.

The double-height living room is framed by oversized floor-to-ceiling rectangular windows that provide views of the property’s lush landscaping. The airy interior spaces flow together smoothly, from the living room to the formal dining area to the kitchen, which is outfitted with premium appliances and family dining accommodations. Upstairs, a mezzanine walkway affords views of the main level, the pool, and the surrounding grounds. The master bedroom has a bathroom equipped with dual vanities, a soaking tub, and an oversized spa-quality walk-in shower. The bedroom’s private terrace is ideal for alfresco dining and relaxing. Also on this level is a compact gym set to the side of the home’s entertainment room. Other notable features include an elevator, an air-conditioned full basement, a whole-house generator, and a two-car garage.

The residence has impressive curb appeal, securely tucked behind a wall of locally sourced limestone.

The 9,375-square-foot lot is tastefully landscaped with native vegetation alongside a pool and spa, outdoor shower, covered terrace, and a well-equipped outdoor kitchen to host family gatherings or entertain guests. The property’s separate guest apartment would also serve well as a private office or artist’s studio.

The property is a five-minute golf cart ride from Coconut Grove’s shops and restaurants, a five-minute drive by car to downtown Miami, and a 20-minute drive to the beach or Miami International Airport.
