Most primary suites get a corner of the house. In this 5-bedroom, 4-bath canal-front pool home in Palmetto Bay, it gets the entire 2nd floor: a vaulted bedroom, a separate office up in the treetops, two walk-in closets, and bathroom with raised soaking tub & double vanities. French doors open to a private balcony, and a spiral staircase takes you straight down to the pool. Then there’s the living room: a 2-story wall of glass, a ceiling that soars to a tongue & groove peak, and a coral stone fireplace from floor to ceiling. The family room has a wet bar and French doors to the pool, and the kitchen’s pass-through window means drinks and plates go straight outside. Outside is the real prize: sparkling pool with waterfall, covered patio deep enough to actually live on, built-in grill under string lights, and yard that runs down to the canal, all shaded by big palms and mature trees. Grab a kayak and paddle right from your backyard. All on a 15,000 sq ft lot on a quiet dead-end street, with a circular driveway, 2-car garage, impact windows and doors, newer A/Cs and an indoor laundry room. It’s well insulated, so the power bills stay low. Minutes from Coral Reef Park and Old Cutler Road.
