Ocean View 3 Bed Home At 5959 Collins Ave 2006

Some places make you slow down the minute you step inside. This three bedroom villa at 5959 Collins Ave in Miami really does that. You step through the door and the light hits you at once, bouncing off those limestone floors and you just sense that you are right on the edge of the ocean. I honestly found myself walking to the window straight away just to watch the waves for a while. The views go right over the water then back across the bay and over the city sparkling behind you so wherever you stand, something is happening out there. It actually feels peaceful but never quiet which is my favorite sort of atmosphere.

With that high ceiling overhead it is kind of airy in a way that lifts the whole room. You will notice the living area is open and never chopped up which means whoever is on the terrace or in the kitchen or just stretched out in the main space is always connected. If you like having friends over or even just being together at the end of the day, it is easy here. The dining space is open to everything and I think you will sit there and just watch the sky change in the evenings without ever having to pull your phone out.

The kitchen is one you would actually cook in for real. There is this eat in area that seems made for coffee and quiet mornings and then the appliances are what you would expect in a proper chef's kitchen. Miele and SubZero plus Boffi cabinetry means everything looks good and works better than you would even hope. If you are entertaining, the oversized quartz bar makes it natural for people to gather around and I can imagine the holidays being pretty special here.

One detail that struck me is Bethany O'Neil's touch throughout the place. She is a Naples designer so she gets that easy coastal feeling without ever being over the top. There are hand plastered walls and Phillip Jeffries wall coverings that give the rooms a softness but also just enough texture if you are into details like that. The lighting is Lutron so you can set any mood you want without fuss and the surround sound actually fills the space. There is even a media room you might end up using more than you think.

The master suite is a real treat let me tell you. There is this rolling wall that lets you open up the entire space, so one minute you feel cocooned with the ocean just outside and another minute the living area and your bedroom are flowing together. It brings in so much light and makes mornings a lot more special. The closets are custom built and huge. When you head into the main bath it is surprisingly warm feeling, not cold and clinical like some newer places. There is a soaker tub wrapped in mesquite wood mosaics plus a rain shower and double vanity setup so you are not fighting for space even on busy days.

The guest suites also get their own en suite baths which means nobody is ever really on top of each other. If you have family visiting or friends in town there will be plenty of room and everyone gets privacy. You step out onto the terraces and remember you are not just in a home, you are surrounded by that ocean air. Honestly you will notice outdoor living just becomes part of your routine. Sometimes I see people sipping coffee early in the morning or just listening to the surf in the evenings. The community is peaceful too. Kids bike in the evenings and you are close enough to all the Miami energy if you want it but you can pull back and just be still here.
