Quietly commanding one of Ponce Davis’s most distinguished addresses, this extraordinary Modern Mediterranean Revival estate offers 7BR/8+2BA with 8,828 SF of meticulously crafted living space across 12,107 total SF including elegant terraces, set on a sprawling 41,818-SF lot, a rare combination of scale, beauty, and privacy that is simply hard to find. Beyond automated iron gates, a stately motor court framed by boxwood hedging and Southern magnolias creates an impressive arrival. The residence unfolds across 3 distinct levels—main, mid and upper with soaring ceilings and an interior elevator. A dramatic triple-height foyer, grand wrought-iron staircase and refined library with coffered ceilings, designer millwork, fireplace and custom wet bar set the tone. The chef’s kitchen showcases a walnut butcher-block island, Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, custom inset cabinetry and butler’s pantry. The luxurious primary suite features Venetian plaster walls, private office, custom dressing room and spa bath with whirlpool tub, and a frameless shower. Additional highlights include a flexible office/den/or bedroom on the 2nd level and a spa/wellness bedroom with dry sauna. Outdoors, a pool with waterfall Jacuzzi, summer kitchen, stone pizza oven, cabana bath, whole-house generator and bougainvillea-draped pergola create an exceptional setting for entertaining. Prime access to Coral Gables, Coconut Grove, S. Miami, top-rated schools, fine dining, luxury shopping, & downtown Miami.
College Groves, located between US-1 (S Dixie Hwy) and Red Road (SW 57th Ave), is a residential and walkable South Miami neighborhood with leafy streets and a low-rise, mid-century feel. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Sunset Drive (SW 72nd St) at Red Road, where sidewalk cafes, indie boutiques, and patio dining set a steady, social pace. Ranch homes and updated bungalows sit behind mature trees, with short blocks that lead toward South Miami’s small-town grid. The Shops at Sunset Place adds a cinema-and-plaza anchor for errands and evenings. Local pillars like Books & Books, Whisk Gourmet, and the Lowe Art Museum shape the area’s cultural routine. Green space at Dante Fascell Park and nearby campus paths rounds out the day-to-day rhythm.
