A day in the life
Morning begins along the water in Miami’s Upper East Side. Built in 1973, this 2,083-square-foot waterfront residence offers three bedrooms, three baths, and peaceful views out over your private pool and 80 feet of waterfront frontage. Step outside past the private dock and boat lift as direct bay access greets the early light, setting a calm, open rhythm for the day ahead.
Your daily travels move swiftly across town. Miami Beach (Mid-Beach) and Bal Harbour Shops are each about a seven-minute drive from your door. When business or events call, the Miami Beach Convention Center is approximately an eight-minute drive away, while the shops and pedestrian promenades of Lincoln Road sit just a nine-minute drive from home.
Evenings bring diverse culinary options close at hand. Savor wood-fired Asian-inspired sharing plates at KYU in Wynwood, explore chef-driven dining rooms and courtyard cafés in the Miami Design District, or head to Calle Ocho in Little Havana for Cuban coffee windows, croquetas, cigar rollers, and domino players.
Cultural landmarks are always within reach. Spend afternoons admiring contemporary works at the Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) on Biscayne Bay, wandering the street-art courtyards and galleries of Wynwood Walls & Arts District, or touring the historic 1916 bayfront villa and formal Italian gardens at Vizcaya Museum & Gardens.
Fresh air beckons with varied open spaces. Head to Virginia Key Beach North Point Park for nature trails, a mini-train, and calm swimming waters. Black Point Marina offers a fishing pier, boat ramp, and waterfront restaurant on Biscayne Bay, while Tropical Park provides lakeside trails, fishing, and paved jogging paths.
Saturdays and Sundays present engaging destinations. Browse the retailers of Brickell City Centre, Bayside Marketplace, and the Miami Design District. Discover science exhibits at Frost Museum of Science, explore Jungle Island, or visit Zoo Miami. For active outings, look to Lucky Strike Bowling, Sky Zone Trampoline Park, or Miami Children’s Museum on Watson Island.
Life on the water centers on your 80 feet of waterfront with a private dock, boat lift, and direct bay access. A 60-foot vessel size serves as a preliminary screen; be sure to verify your specific vessel dimensions, depth at mean low water, air draft clearances under bridges, and routes to the nearest navigable inlet.
