In a market defined by constant change, true legacy properties are increasingly rare. 612 Sunset Road in Coral Gables stands apart as a once in a lifetime offering, blending enduring craftsmanship with thoughtful modern upgrades in one of Miami’s most prestigious residential settings.
Set beneath a canopy of ten mature oak trees and framed by manicured ivy, this Plantation-style estate immediately conveys a sense of permanence and quiet grandeur. The arrival experience is intentional and unforgettable. A coral stone entrance leads to motorized gates, opening to a circular Chicago brick driveway and a stately porte cochere that anchors the home’s architectural presence.
Constructed in collaboration with Corwil Architects and a prominent commercial builder, the residence was designed with longevity in mind. Every element reflects a commitment to quality. From the structural integrity to the refined finishes, this is a home built not just to impress, but to endure.
Over 15,000 square feet of total space unfolds with warmth and scale all on a 32,500 sq/ft lot. Rich mahogany wood floors run throughout, complemented by solid mahogany doors with brass hardware that speak to a level of detail rarely seen today. The layout offers six spacious bedrooms, six full bathrooms, and a powder room, providing both functionality and flexibility for modern living.
Beyond its classic design, the home has been carefully updated to meet today’s standards. A full new roof completed in 2021 ensures peace of mind for years to come. La Finestra exterior French doors installed in 2017 enhance both aesthetics and security with a five-point locking system. Additional improvements including a new pool heater and artificial turf installation in 2022 reflect ongoing stewardship and attention to detail.
The infrastructure of the estate is equally impressive. A full-home generator with automatic transfer switch provides uninterrupted power. Dual underground gas tanks and dual septic systems add a layer of independence and reliability that is increasingly valuable. An air-conditioned attic spanning approximately 1,000 square feet offers unique flexibility for storage or future customization.
Outdoor living is seamlessly integrated with over 2,000 square feet of balconies and expansive grounds that invite both relaxation and entertaining. The three-car garage further complements the functionality of the estate.
What makes 612 Sunset Road truly special is not just its scale or features, but its authenticity. In a city where new construction often dominates, this home offers something far more meaningful. A sense of history, craftsmanship and place in a truly remarkable setting.
This is not simply a residence. It is a legacy property, thoughtfully maintained and ready for its next chapter.
