Furnished Villa At 2038 Prairie Ave

Some homes are just different. There is this calm feeling that comes over you before you even step inside this villa at 2038 Prairie Ave in Miami Beach. I paused out front for a moment and actually heard the birds in the garden. It sort of wraps around the house and the landscaping has this easy, grown in feel—it is lush but never fussy. The funny thing is, the outside is green and breezy and as soon as you open the door, the inside just melts into it. The glass walls do more than let in the light, they actually kind of erase the idea of being inside or out. You are just at home in the world and the world kind of comes in too.

You get the sense straight away that this place was designed by someone who doesn't just know architecture but who actually loves Miami. Rene Gonzalez really thought about how people live rather than how things just look. The layout feels generous but also very private— tall green trees outside, big rich spaces inside, but nothing ever feels boxed in. The living area is full of sun most of the day. Stand in there for a bit and you will see what I mean. Floors are smooth underfoot and the whole space has a lightness. You can pull open huge glass panels and feel a soft breeze come through, with no harsh lines between outside and inside. Sometimes you almost forget your phone in here, just taking it slow and enjoying how much sky you can see.

The kitchen might surprise you. It feels welcoming and almost like the center of everything even though it is not in the middle of the house. The counters are wide enough for real food prep and there is a line of sight right into the outdoor dining area so if you like to have friends over or cook with family you would probably want them drifting inside and out, no problem. Walk into the main bedroom and it is almost like a private garden suite. It is big, sure, but more than that it is peaceful. There is somewhere to read by the window, actually read, and you can almost pretend the world has stopped a little.

Something unusual here is the guest suites. They are fully detached so you get privacy for everyone, and each suite looks out into parts of the greenery so no one feels tucked away. A couple of these could be perfect for family visits or for older kids who come home and want their own space. Roof terrace is my favorite spot. I spent a few minutes up there and you just see the treetops and roofs beyond and the sky opens up. Evenings feel soft and you can just imagine sharing a drink with friends or listening to music with nothing but palm trees all around.

The garden is not just a backyard. There are different layers to it, bits of shade, spots with full sun, even a place to sit with a book. Pool is an infinity edge style and long enough for laps if you are into that. It sort of reflects the sky almost all day. You will also spot the outdoor shower which just feels perfect after a swim, and there is a summer kitchen tucked just close enough for grilling or evening meals outdoors, with the sound of leaves rustling.

Even though this villa feels very tucked away and private, honestly you can walk out and the best of Miami Beach is just steps away. The shopping and restaurants are right around the corner and sometimes you see families heading out to eat together or locals in casual clothes just strolling by. The location has all the things you might want, but the pace here is relaxed. If you like the sense of having your own peaceful spot but also want to be connected to city life, this is a rare balance.

Seems like the kind of place you can only really understand by walking through in person. If you have any questions or if you just want to wander through one afternoon, reach out any time. We are always here at LuxuryProperty.com to try and make your next move feel as comfortable as possible.
