Located on the same street as another interesting house recently featured on the Big Bubble, is this modernist home on the Little River that’s a little bit different than many of the other white box modernist houses you see in Miami these days. The house is designed around an indoor-outdoor plan designed around an open-air central atrium, with a creative pergola-like structure underneath an elevated cupola ceiling. Open the front door, and you have a breezeway. Although, with the space going north-south and Miami’s prevailing breezes going east-west… well, maybe there are nice breezes coming off of the river. Listed for $6.8 million, on a generously sized lot, it ain’t exactly cheap, but it’s also a good example of why the Big Bubble questioned the $3 million price of that sexy little pink number just down the block. It’s twice as expensive, but way more than twice as nice.
Built in 2017, the property is like a little compound, with a 4-bedroom main house and a 2-bedroom guest house, although it looks like one of the bedrooms has a curtain that can divide it in half, making it a great place for lots of cousins when they come to visit, and the other bedroom has a little efficiency kitchen in it, in addition to the guest house’s main kitchen and dinette. So, that’s interesting. There’s also a big, sweeping lawn out back, a covered carport, some big trees, a house full of brand-new designer furniture which is included in the price, and a new dock on the river that the listing rather presumptuously calls a private port. It may be a nice dock, but it’s still just a dock.
