7-Bedroom Villa for Sale in Miami Beach, Florida, United States

Some homes already slow you down before you even make it through the front door. This waterfront villa at 1825 W 24th St on Sunset Island III does that. The shade from the trees is actually cooler than you'd expect in the middle of Miami's heat. Walking up the drive, you hear the water somewhere nearby and honestly, it makes you want to put your phone away and just look around for a minute. People always talk about “lifestyle” when they mention the Sunset Islands but this place does not try to sell you anything. It just makes living here feel natural.

The first real thing you notice inside is how open it is, with the sunlight kind of wandering in from all sides. The white oak floors just glide from room to room and you catch these different textures on the walls. Even the details stand out, like the travertine cuts you run your hand over by the stairs or the micro cement finish in the corners of the living space. It all feels built to last, but not flashy. Sometimes you find yourself just staring into the backyard for five minutes without even realizing it.

Flip open any door and somehow you are outdoors. I think that is what makes the inside and outside blend together – there's a garden that feels private, even though you are right close to Sunset Harbour. You might hear some distant chatter from folks headed to the waterfront or maybe someone jogging in the early morning. You can step outside, sink onto the grass, and watch the light on the saltwater pool as it shifts with the wind. The pool is not just for show, either. The water curtain kind of sparkles in the sun and if you want to soak in the hot tub after dark like I did on one visit, there is just the sound of the bay and sometimes a boat or two in the distance.

One of the best things about this house honestly is the kitchen. You do not just get the look people put on design magazines. This is actually a kitchen you want to cook something real in, with a big island that sticks out like it is welcoming everybody over to chop veggies or just hang out over coffee. You can see the dining space from there too, so if you have people over, it all feels connected. Sometimes when you are in these big Miami villas, you worry the space is too big to feel cozy but here the scale is just right, maybe because the ceiling pulls upwards in that main atrium but then comes down a bit for the corners where you'd want to read or just scroll on your phone alone.

If you are into reading or maybe late-night conversations, there is a library tucked away with a wet bar for drinks and shelves for days. Feels like the kind of spot where you'd stretch out with a book, and forget what time it is. The elevator brings you up to the rooftop terrace, not just for show, because people actually hang out up there. There is an open view to the water, stretches of the canal, and the kind of sunset you just have to see in person. Every evening feels different, honestly.

The master suite is its own quiet zone. You get a bath that feels more like a spa than a typical bathroom, and off to the side there's a meditation courtyard. Sometimes the breeze is all you hear. Makes for pretty peaceful mornings or just a slow start on weekends. Every bedroom has its own feel, and there is a lot of space but not too much where it ever feels empty.

The villa comes unfurnished right now, which means you get to put your own mark on it. Still, with the way the architecture and the finishes work, it feels pretty move in ready. The bay views are uninterrupted from the new dock, so if you are into boating or just like water close by, you will love it. Plus, everything you need is a short walk away, and Sunset Harbour's coffee spots are just down the road. Sometimes you even see kids out biking around in the evenings.

It is hard to know if a place fits until you see it for yourself. If you want to stop by, walk the garden, maybe look out over the bay for a bit, let us know. That is how it should be. At LuxuryProperty.com, we are always happy to answer any questions or just take things slow so you can feel what is right. Let me know if you want to step inside.
