    These Three Florida Waterfront Properties Are a Boater’s Paradise

    “Ships are the nearest things to dreams that hands have ever made, for somewhere deep in their oaken hearts, the soul of a song is laid.” – Robert N. RoseEvery boater or yachtsman has felt the soul of a song while sailing across the open sea. The water is a magnet to live life at its most vital and daring. It awakens the senses, renews, and sparks our sense of adventure. In celebration of the boater’s spirit, we’ve rounded up three recently listed Florida properties from the Coldwell Banker Global Luxury program that make the most out of their waterfront locations with either prime docking space, boat lifts or ample storage for water toys.Key Biscayne1020 Mariner DrKey Biscayne, FL.$20,000,000This custom Cesar Molina-designed waterfront oasis has everything a boater could ever want: luxury amenities galore, tranquil water views, inspiring indoor/outdoor living and entertaining spaces, nine covered balconies, four covered terraces, an infinity lap pool and a dock behind the house that puts you within less than a 5-minute boat ride to Biscayne Bay.Listed by Carmen D’Ambrosio of Coldwell Banker Realty in Key BiscayneCoral Gables165 Solano PradoCoral Gables, FL. $ 24,975,000If you’re looking to acquire a bayfront property in the exclusive and gated Old Cutler Bay community to build your own dream home on the water, look no further than this exceptional opportunity nestled on a 31,130 square-foot lot along 170 feet of prime waterfront.

    These Timeless Classic Estates Are the Perfect Antidote to Contemporary

    Contemporary design will always have its rabid fans and followers. The clean, crisp lines and minimal ornamentation. The neutral shades and natural materials. The casual-yet-open spaces that just feel good. Yet classic spaces will never go out of style. In fact, traditional architecture can feel downright fresh amidst the constant stream of contemporary new builds that usually find their way onto the monthly “Just Listed” roster for the Coldwell Banker Global Luxury program.With that in mind, here are three recently listed residences that inspired us with their spirited embrace of the traditional tried-and-true.McMurray, PennsylvaniaSet about 40 minutes from Pittsburgh, Oak Grove represents timeless design at its best – a celebration of America’s finest equestrian estates. The European-style mansion, created from Vermont Limestone, has been called “an architectural marvel meticulously crafted for generations.” Classic detailing throughout the interiors builds on this theme, from the Mahogany doors to the Jerusalem stone flooring and radiant chandeliers.Listed for $28,876,000 by Bonnie Loya, Coldwell Banker Realty in McMurrayCape May, NJ.This grand Colonial Revival on the Jersey Shore is what summer dreams and clapboard beach house fantasies are made of. Set right on the beachfront in a corner location that affords wide-angled ocean views from almost every room, the sprawling residence of over 12,000 square feet blends traditional Shore design vernacular with Gilded Age embellishments like a three-story-high foyer with double staircase and a classic wood-paneled library and lounge for a palatial setting that feels “straight out of a Hollywood movie,” according to the listing description.Listed for $11,500,000 by Coldwell Banker Sols Real EstateAspenTraditional on the outside, contemporary on the inside. This “rare jewel” of a townhouse in the Aspen Core is a careful study of juxtaposition. The elegant stone and steepled manor-style exterior belies what awaits inside: a fully renovated and thoughtfully designed sanctuary meant to resemble a modern luxury hotel suite with a fully outfitted upper-level “entertainer’s area” consisting of an open kitchen, dining and great room with a terrace overlooking Aspen Mountain.Listed for $29,500,000 by Carrie Wells, Coldwell Banker Mason Morse  The post These Timeless Classic Estates Are the Perfect Antidote to Contemporary appeared first on Coldwell Banker Global Luxury Blog - Luxury Home & Style.
