Tucked behind the gates of an exclusive enclave of just 12 residences, this two-story Mediterranean villa offers the rare combination of privacy, serenity, and an unbeatable North Pinecrest location. Only 3 homes have come to market here in the last decade; opportunities like this simply don't come around. Set along a tranquil canal and surrounded by lush, mature landscaping, the home welcomes you with dramatic 20-foot ceilings and an abundance of natural light. The thoughtfully designed floor plan features 7 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms, including a spacious primary suite, large dedicated office, and separate service quarters on the main level. Three additional bedrooms are upstairs, and a fully separate 1-bedroom/1-bathroom poolhouse sits off the backyard, ideal for guests or extended stays. The expansive backyard is built for entertaining, fully renovated anchored by a summer kitchen. Minutes from Gulliver, Beth Am, and St. Thomas, plus Miami's finest dining and shopping.
