Michael Light, Owner of the Miami Luxury Homes Group at Douglas Elliman Real Estate is proud to announce that he shattered 2 Coconut Grove Real Estate records with his closing of ‘Hammock House’ this week.

• Sold for $5,082,000 | $818 Per Square Foot
• First Non-Waterfront Home in the History of Coconut Grove to Sell Over $5 Million
• Highest-Price-Per-Square-Foot Non-Waterfront Home to Ever Sell in Coconut Grove

Coconut Grove Historical Non-Waterfront Sales Over $700 Per Sq/Ft

Setting two records, the seller of Hammock House, who wishes to remain anonymous, sold the 6,212-square-foot modern residence located at 3503 Banyan Circle for a whopping $818 per square foot. Hammock House is now the first non-waterfront home to ever sell over $5 Million in Coconut Grove and the highest-price-per-square-foot non-waterfront home to ever sell in The Grove.

Broker Associate Michael Light represented the seller in this historic transaction, exceeding all expectations of the seller, by utilizing his unrivaled marketing skills and working tirelessly to find a buyer to pay the highest possible price for the home.

Designed by award-winning architect Shulman+Associates, Hammock House is truly a one-of-a-kind residence situated within a lush tropical hammock on nearly 20,000 square feet of land that has wholly sustained its natural state, making it exclusive and almost impossible to replicate anywhere else in South Florida. Built in 2014, this residential work of art was designed specifically for a family who values privacy, but also desires a seamless, elegant indoor/outdoor living experience, and this precisely describes Hammock House.

“Hammock House is an extraordinary residence,” says Light. “It is a stunning modern home in the center of Coconut Grove merely walking distance to an eclectic variety of shopping, dining and entertainment, but when you are at the residence, you feel as if you are relaxing in a 5-star private villa in Costa Rica.”

Hammock House offers a luxurious living area of 6,212 square feet with a total of 6 bedrooms and 7.5 bathrooms with a state-of-the-art main house boasting the latest Control4 home automation system, Lutron lightning, video security, custom-designed Boffi kitchen, Boffi bathrooms, formal living room and staff quarters, along with a 538-square-foot, free-standing guest house. The gorgeous open living spaces of the main house naturally flow through the floor-to-ceiling glass walls to the outdoor entertainment area offering a heated salt-water pool, a Jacuzzi and a summer kitchen amid an abundance of organic foliage, offering a serene outdoor oasis in your own backyard with ultimate privacy.

Added Light, “Coconut Grove’s real estate market has seen exponential growth over the last several years. In this supposed “down” market I keep hearing about in Miami, the Grove is setting records. It is as if people are just now finding out how special the Grove is and realizing South Florida is not all about South Beach anymore.”

“The Buyer is a wealthy South American businessman who plans to make this home a primary residence for him and his family,” says Light. “The buyer’s wife was the catalyst for the sale as she truly appreciated the architectural design of the home, the sophisticated interior design and the overall uniqueness of the home.”
