This week’s Miami Luxury Real Estate Pick is located in Miami Shores (my local stomping ground). It’s not often that I point out new construction unless I absolutely believe in it and this happens to be one of those houses. Miami Shores was developed in the 1920’s by The Shoreland Company and did an amazing job of urban planning which is one of the best features of Miami Shores. The setbacks and scale of the homes, the rear alley system, the width of the streets, sidewalks and tree-lined streets, is what makes Miami Shores the beautiful community that it is today, and not to forget the fact that we have so many fabulous Mediterranean Revival homes.
This home was buildt new in 2008 and no expense was spared – from commercial grade appliances to Cherry wood floors, but what impresses me the most is the grand scale of each room, with soaring ceilings and clean lines that were kept simple but at the same time elegant. The fact that the home respects the scale of the adjacent homes and its urban context is a huge plus in my book as well.
