Palmetto Bay Gated Mansion!

Palmetto Bay Gated Mansion!
It's a magnificent home in a magnificent location making the auction on March 17th one of the most notable opportunities in South Florida this year! This is one of the nicest areas Miami offers. For those in-the-know about Miami, you're already aware that south of downtown are a group of quaint, luxurious residential communities that edge Biscayne Bay. From Key Biscayne to Coconut Grove to South Miami, now Palmetto Bay and further to Cutler Ridge, these neighborhoods are like a magnet that you hope will never let go. It's the essence of laid back, subtropical living that we all dream about. Many notables have been drawn there, including Jeb Bush for example, who has made his home there along the Bay for years. Parks for every type of activity abound and there is quick access to great shopping such as The Falls. A great place to raise children, the Palmetto Bay neighborhood has some of the best public and private schools in Florida and the outdoor activities are limitless.

The house is spectacular! It's luxurious with its breathtaking entry, huge rooms, Louis XIV antique Carrera marble mantle pieces in the dining room, crystal chandeliers, and 8500sf of living space. The entry alone will cause you to pause and regroup. As soon as you walk in, you know you're in Florida! The huge two-story space is filled with sunlight from skylights above and the Italian tiles are the color of the shallows of the Bay on a sunny day. Fittingly, there are two bronze herons standing to greet you! Built in 1980, it consists of 8,415sf of indoor living space with 8 bedrooms and 8.5 baths. The home was clearly designed for ease of entertaining and the only one we have seen with a walk-in cooler in the butler's serving pantry. There are also balconies off almost all the bedrooms with lovely views of either the courtyard with its fountain or the pool area. The entertainment room features a sunken bar with great views all around and there is a spiral stair leading up to the 3-story observation tower. There is also a 3-car garage with staff apartment above. You will love the wine cellar with storage for as many bottles as you can imagine, with its light wood, tiled floors and dramatic barreled ceiling of brick. Happily there is an elevator from the wine cellar up to the bedroom level; particularly nice if one has stayed in the cellar a little longer than they should!

It's possible to make arrangements to buy the existing furniture from the seller, but with the savings you're going to realize at this auction, why not just strip it out, start over and display your own personality? Was for sale $4.25m - bid starts $1.25m.
