Tucked on an amazing 11,250 SF lot in one of Miami's most central and desirable locations, minutes from the University of Miami, South Miami and Coral Gables, this beautifully maintained single-story retreat offers something that's nearly impossible to manufacture: a true sense of escape. Some homes are just houses. This one is a feeling. Step into the stunning backyard and the city disappears. A solar-heated saltwater pool glows under the night sky, surrounded by lush privacy and an outdoor shower nestled among orchids. A spacious deck built from long-lasting synthetic wood makes this an outdoor living room as much as a backyard. The the kind of space that makes you cancel plans just to stay home. Anchoring the yard is a substantial CBS-block workshop w/garage door opening and dedicated electrical (Yes, storage!). You will dream about this yard! The home reflects the care of an owner who knows construction and quality— a GC and active building inspector, everything is permitted. Impact windows and doors throughout, septic system (2013), roof (2016), two high-end Stiebel Eltron instant hot water heaters; every system done right. Original hardwood floors run through a warm, layout that flows from living and dining into a family room overlooking the pool. An office/studio can function beautifully as a third bedroom. The primary suite has a walk-in shower and double vanities. Experience this private sanctuary in the heart of Miami-for a buyer who knows quality when they see it.
