A day in the life
You wake inside a sprawling 1964 ranch home offering 3,348 square feet of living space in Glenvar Heights. Across four bedrooms and four baths, morning light fills the interior before you step outside onto the premier 34,000-square-foot lot. An early swim in your private pool begins the day, surrounded by your own expansive grounds.
Your weekday rhythm flows easily with key destinations minutes away. Miracle Mile in Coral Gables is about a 10-minute drive, while CocoWalk in Coconut Grove is about 11 minutes from home. Miami International Airport is reachable in approximately 12 minutes, and Brickell City Centre sits about an 18-minute drive away.
When evening comes, dining options abound nearby. You can head to Calle Ocho in Little Havana for Cuban coffee windows, croquetas, cigar rollers, domino players, and Viernes Culturales. For refined evenings, the Miami Design District offers chef-driven dining rooms and courtyard cafés, while KYU serves wood-fired Asian-inspired sharing plates in an industrial Wynwood warehouse setting.
Cultural outings are close at hand. Explore Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, a 1916 bayfront villa surrounded by formal Italian gardens. In the Wynwood Walls and Arts District, you can wander street-art courtyards framed by galleries, breweries, and taco windows during Second Saturday. On Biscayne Bay, Pérez Art Museum Miami presents contemporary art beneath hanging gardens alongside an open-air terrace restaurant.
For fresh air and coastal breezes, visit Crandon Park Beach, a two-mile beach featuring calm, shallow water, picnic areas, and shaded parking near the Nature Center. Down at the southern tip of Key Biscayne, Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park offers bike paths, quiet beach access, and views of the historic lighthouse.
Weekends invite you to browse the South Miami Rotary Art Festival and shop at the Shops at Sunset Place. Your children can discover the music studio, pretend supermarket, bank, and cruise ship at Miami Children's Museum on Watson Island.
