Exceptional Five Bed Residence with Intercoastal Views At Bal Harbour

Some homes just have that quiet pull when you open the door and this five bedroom villa in Bal Harbour really has it. I know people use the word exceptional a lot but you get it when you step inside here. I remember just pausing for a minute beyond the entryway. There's so much light coming in from the walls of glass. You notice the space before you even think about square footage and that space feels good. Not intimidating. Just open and honest.

Bal Harbour on the Miami coast is one of those neighborhoods where the ocean is never far. You can almost smell the salt in the air and sometimes in the evenings you'll see neighbors heading down to the water after dinner. Everything feels really well placed here. The villa itself sits on a generous plot so you get this buffer of green and palm trees all around. More Mediterranean than Miami even though you get both in the views. Sometimes there's a breeze and watching the palm fronds move is basically therapy.

Inside, and I'll be clear, this place is unfurnished right now so you can really picture your own life here. The floors are oak and honestly there's something welcoming about walking barefoot here. You get a proper sense of how open all the rooms are. The living and dining areas blend straight into each other. It's not the kind of house where people hide away in different rooms. These communal parts are made for big family talks or catching up over coffee. When you stand by the floor to ceiling windows you can see the waterfront. Some mornings it feels like you're in one of those magazine spreads but with real life happening all around you.

The kitchen is Italian and probably more beautiful than most of us expect a kitchen to be. But it still feels like you could make a proper meal in there. I could see late breakfasts at the big counter or a long dinner with everyone just grabbing one more spoonful. The appliances are top line and the flow to the outdoor area makes summer evenings easy. You'll also notice that with the new audio systems, putting on music feels effortless anywhere inside or out. It's those things you stop noticing because they just work.

Bedrooms are upstairs and tucked away. There are five in total and the way light moves through each one is different which I loved. The main bedroom faces the water so waking up never feels rushed. Each space can be what you need it to be. Guest space, home study, you get to choose. All the walls have a fresh paint feel and honestly the furniture is the one thing you bring with you. That makes it feel like your own from day one.

Stepping outside is when you really feel the Bal Harbour lifestyle. There's a saltwater pool right in your backyard and on some days it is hard not to just stay in. The sauna and Jacuzzi are tucked away enough that you still get privacy but everything is close enough you do not feel you are going back and forth all the time. The private dock just makes waterfront living easy, whether you have a boat or not, it is just nice to sit and watch the world float by. Birds, maybe a neighbor paddling out, sometimes not much at all.

There's a two car garage, too, but honestly most days you might prefer to walk to a local coffee spot or just stay by the water. Miami is close but this pocket of Florida feels a bit removed and you can see why families choose this spot.

You only get a real sense of it all by being here. If you want to take it in for yourself or have a few questions reach out. At LuxuryProperty.com, we just try to make sure your next move feels right from the first step.
