Waterfront 5 Bed Residence At 4460 northeast 31st Ave

The funny thing is sometimes you step inside a home and your head just gets a little quieter. That happened to me here at 4460 northeast 31st Ave in Miami. Maybe it is the way the light comes in from all sides or the sound of the water just past the gate. I found myself standing on the custom floating path at the entrance, just listening to that eleven foot waterfall for a moment—it almost drowns out the rest of the world. There is nothing quite like having the Intracoastal as your backyard. It feels private without being cut off, like you are in your own small world but Miami is just out there if you want it.

This villa is pretty special. Five bedrooms plus a clubroom and a gym that actually makes you want to work out since the sauna is just next door and you can unwind after. It is unfurnished right now, which means it is just waiting for someone's style—someone who wants to make the wide indoor and outdoor spaces feel like theirs. The kitchen put simply is the kind you actually want to cook in, not just stand around holding a glass. Sometimes homes get too showy and you can barely picture using them. Not so here. Long spacious counters. Easy flow to the dining room. Family and friends would linger over that first cup of coffee, especially with those floor to ceiling windows letting you see out to the water even while you're still waking up.

One of the things that really caught me was the way the windows frame everything. Every room picks up some green or blue. You end up noticing what is outside almost as much as what's in. And then if you like sunlight in the morning, you are in luck. It just pours in everywhere, honestly makes it easier to get up early. There is an elevator for all those times when you're lugging bags or just do not feel like taking the stairs, which is something people do not always think of but ends up making life easier.

If you are the type who loves water, this spot really is a dream. Right in your backyard, you have what may be one of the most flexible and rare dock setups in the area—deep water dockage that can manage a mega yacht, jet skis, or whatever you keep for weekends. Sometimes you notice the neighbors out on their boats, and sometimes you just sit by the pool watching the clouds drift and not do much else. You get that long infinity pool and spa that makes you feel a little like you are on holiday even during weekdays. Friends drop by, you light up the summer kitchen out under the patio, maybe watch the sunset set the water on fire. Kids can swim while the grownups talk. At night, the lights from the dock look pretty magical from the upstairs balcony.

Storage is never a problem here. The garage takes four cars, which means no one is shuffling things around to make space. Believe me, people end up valuing that more than they expect. There is a glass wine wall for your collection—hard not to imagine picking something nice in the evening and opening all the doors just to let the evening air in.

You are close enough to Miami proper that popping into the city for dinner or art or just some energy is easy. But most days, you might just find yourself staying in. There is something about having salt water and ocean breezes just steps away that calms people. The community is friendly too—sometimes you see folks jogging in the morning, waving as they pass.

Honestly, reading about a home is never quite the same as actually walking through and getting that feeling for yourself. If you have a question or just want to check it out in person, I am always around. At LuxuryProperty.com we like taking things at your pace so your next move feels just right.
