You begin your morning inside an elegant French-style waterfront estate within the guard-gated Islands of Cocoplum. Built in 1995, this 5,765-square-foot residence offers five bedrooms, six baths, and high cove ceilings in the formal living room on the main level. Stepping outside past impact windows and doors beneath the flat tile roof, a circular paver drive and private pool complete the setting.
Daily commutes run smoothly from this quiet enclave set near historic Mediterranean Revival homes, Miracle Mile, and the University of Miami. You are about a five-minute drive from CocoWalk in Coconut Grove, seven minutes from Miracle Mile, twelve minutes from Brickell City Centre, and thirteen minutes from MiamiCentral and Brightline Miami.
Evenings offer diverse flavors. Head to Little Havana on Calle Ocho for Cuban coffee windows, croquetas, cigar rollers, and domino players, or enjoy chef-driven rooms and courtyard cafés in the Miami Design District. In Wynwood, KYU serves wood-fired Asian-inspired sharing plates in an industrial warehouse setting.
Culture is close at hand with visits to Vizcaya Museum & Gardens, a 1916 bayfront villa with formal Italian gardens. You can also view contemporary works at Pérez Art Museum Miami on Biscayne Bay with hanging gardens, or explore street-art courtyards and galleries in the Wynwood Walls & Arts District.
Coastal recreation beckons at Crandon Park Beach, known for its two-mile stretch of calm shallow water, shaded parking near the Nature Center, and picnic groves. At the southern tip of Key Biscayne, Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park adds bike paths and a historic lighthouse.
Weekend outings include the South Miami Rotary Art Festival and the Shops at Sunset Place. Destination spots nearby include the Miami Children's Museum on Watson Island, foam pits and dodgeball at Sky Zone Trampoline Park, and upscale lanes and arcade games at Lucky Strike Bowling.
Waterfront living connects you via canal to Biscayne Bay and the open ocean. The listing states a 70-foot dock, which provides a preliminary screen for a 70-foot boat. Bridge clearances depend on your route, and canal depths vary, so buyers should sound the slip at mean low water.
