Miami Life

Monochrome and modern, this Coconut Grove house is a good option for a coastal escape – located just a fifteen-minute walk from the heart of Coconut Grove, where you'll find trendy restaurants and cafes alongside galleries and indie bookshops. Beach lovers can head to Biscayne Bay for the day or drive the other way to find the palm-lined shores of Miami. Though the backyard is small compared to the towering ceilings inside the home, it still has enough room for a private pool and terrace seating, ideal for enjoying an ice-cold drink at the end of the day.
