A day in the life
Morning unfolds inside residence 617 at The Minorca, located at 2030 S Douglas Road in Coral Gables. Built in 2005, this 1,020-square-foot condominium features a thoughtful split-bedroom floor plan with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. You step outside onto your private balcony, enjoying the morning breeze while looking across the neighborhood and anticipating the beautiful sunset views that will frame your evening from this quiet vantage point.
Setting out into the City Beautiful, you are surrounded by historic Mediterranean Revival homes and situated near gated enclaves such as Gables Estates, Cocoplum, and Tahiti Beach, with the University of Miami close at hand. Daily journeys are remarkably straightforward. Miracle Mile is about a 3-minute drive away, while CocoWalk in Coconut Grove is reached in approximately 4 minutes. If your weekday schedule calls for downtown meetings or travel, Brickell City Centre and Miami International Airport are each an easy drive of about 7 minutes.
In the afternoon, immerse yourself in the rich visual traditions found along local avenues. Explore Cernuda Arte, recognized as the country's leading dealer in Cuban art, with collections extending from colonial masters to living artists. Visit The Americas Collection on Ponce de Leon Boulevard, showcasing Latin American modern and contemporary art since 1991, or stop into Virginia Miller Galleries, celebrated as one of the oldest galleries in South Florida displaying international contemporary artists.
When fresh air beckons, make your way south to Matheson Hammock Park. Here, a distinctive man-made atoll pool beach offers calm, shallow water sheltered along the shore. Wandering the tranquil mangrove trails or strolling past the marina provides a peaceful coastal retreat surrounded by Florida nature.
The weekend invites exploration through iconic Coral Gables landmarks and celebrated shopping destinations. Browse the boutiques at The Village of Merrick Park or wander the lively streetscape of Miracle Mile. Refresh yourself at the historic Venetian Pool, stroll the expansive grounds of Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden, or discover local architectural heritage during the Biltmore Hotel Historic Tour. By evening, take in an engaging stage performance at Actors' Playhouse at the Miracle Theatre.
