5 Bed Waterfront Home At 1431 W 22 ST, Miami Beach

Some homes have a way of quietly making you feel like you have discovered a little secret spot in the city. This five bedroom villa at 1431 W 22 Street on Sunset Island does exactly that. I remember stepping in and just pausing a moment you know how it is when the air feels softer and all you hear are birds up in the palm trees. Honestly it is almost its own pocket of calm in Miami Beach.

This place has got a history and you can feel it the moment you notice the tropical landscaping around the front. Everything grows a bit wilder here but in a good way you feel tucked in by all this green. There is something about the way the sunlight filters through the trees during the day that makes you want to just sit outside with a coffee and not check your phone for a while. The street itself is quiet not much traffic ever really only the occasional bike or dog walker passing by. Most days you just hear someone in the distance messing around with a boat or kids laughing near the water.

Inside you get what I'd call classic Miami charm but without feeling stuffy. The villa is unfurnished at the moment so you get to imagine how your own things might fit in. And with five bedrooms it actually becomes easy to imagine if you have a big family or just like having friends visiting. The layout is simple but that is what I liked most because you do not feel boxed in anywhere. There is a separate office if you need to hide away for a bit plenty of natural light without being too hot in the afternoons.

What makes life feel special here is the water you cannot get away from it in the best way possible. There are seventy five feet of water frontage which sounds like a number but really it means you have just enough space for morning coffees by the dock or to slip out for an evening paddle without any rush. There is a private dock and a boat lift if you get the itch to explore the canals one afternoon or head out around Biscayne Bay or even just keep a small boat so you do not lose that sense of adventure. Some days you notice the sun bouncing off the canal and it just catches your mood right. The pool is set a bit back from the dock so you do not have to choose between a swim or the water view you can have both at once and every now and then a heron just lands nearby. Feels different than other houses I have seen.

The kitchen here is not one of those showy places it actually feels like somewhere you would cook up a real meal maybe let the kids sit close by while you figure out what is for dinner. There is even a maids quarter tucked away so guests or extra family always have their own space and everyone can move easily through the house. Storage is never an issue either since you get a proper two car garage and every room just seems to fit what you need without being fussy.

Living on Sunset Island means you get the privacy and old school Miami feel but you are still walking distance to Lincoln Road and the shops and restaurants at Sunset Harbour. You really do not need much more than that and on days when you feel like staying in the community just feels like home. Sometimes you see neighbors just wave as you come in and out you barely remember how close the city really is.

This kind of spot is hard to find anywhere in Florida honestly. You just have to come and see if it suits you or maybe sit by the water for a bit and listen. If you want to walk through or just have some questions I am always around. At LuxuryProperty.com we try to help your next move feel as easy as possible.
