Inside a $7.75 Million Modern Miami Home Designed for Vertical Living
Overview
In one of Miami’s most established and character-filled neighborhoods, this newly completed residence offers a different take to luxury living. Located in Coconut Grove and listed with Michael Martinez, the five-bedroom, five-and-a-half-bathroom home embraces vertical living, stacking its spaces across multiple levels before culminating in a rooftop terrace with sweeping views across Biscayne Bay, Coconut Grove, and Brickell.

Modern Architecture with a Tropical Setting
Set along a tree-lined street, the home features contemporary architecture with the lush surroundings defining Coconut Grove. Matt notes that the neighborhood’s appeal lies in its walkability and European atmosphere, allowing residents to easily reach the waterfront, local cafés, and nearby Brickell. In addition to providing solitude and preserving the connection to the tropics, mature landscaping softens the modern façade.
Natural Light-Filled Living Spaces
An oversized pivot door opens into a bright, open-plan interior where floor-to-ceiling glazing and skylight-style windows draw in natural light. There are both formal and casual living areas on the main level, as well as the dining area, multiple lounges, and patios that make the home extend to the outdoors. Matt describes the property as “you get all the benefits of what comes with a house, but at the same time, it feels a little bit penthouse-like.”
A Minimalist Kitchen with Maximum Function
At the center of the home is a minimalist kitchen featuring a large porcelain island, integrated oak cabinetry, and premium Miele appliances. Hidden fridge freezers, extensive storage, and a walk-in pantry keep the clean aesthetic intact, while a Crestron home automation system simplifies everyday living through integrated lighting and controls.
Flexible Rooms for Guests and Work
The main floor also includes a guest suite and a dedicated office, both with ensuite bathrooms and generous natural light. The arrangement allows the spaces to evolve to a homeowner’s needs, whether as bedrooms, workspaces, or private retreats. Matt notes that the office offers “good views for inspiration and to connect you with the outside,” highlighting the home’s emphasis on bringing nature into everyday living.
A Principal Suite with Water Views
Occupying the rear portion of the upper floor, the principal suite enjoys dual private terraces and views stretching toward the water. “Not only do we get the water view on the terrace, you also get it from here” Matt says. The ensuite bathroom has dual vanities, a freestanding tub, and a skylit rainfall shower designed to maximize privacy while filling the space with natural light.
Outdoor Living Across Every Level
The lower level is dedicated to leisure and entertaining, with a covered summer kitchen, dining area, swimming pool, and built-in hot tub. Matt envisions this as a space where family and friends can gather enjoying Miami’s year-round climate.
The home’s multiple terraces create connections between indoor and outdoor living throughout the property.
A Rooftop with a Penthouse Feel
The defining feature of the home is undoubtedly its rooftop terrace. Offering uninterrupted 360-degree views, the space captures the skylines of Brickell and Coconut Grove while stretching across Biscayne Bay toward Key Biscayne. Standing on the terrace, Matt notes that “it really is cool to get that as part of a house” adding that it creates “that penthouse style feeling.” The expansive rooftop offers endless possibilities, from lounge areas and wellness spaces to outdoor entertaining zones, all elevated above one of Miami’s most desirable neighborhoods.
A Contemporary Coconut Grove Lifestyle
By combining modern architecture and low-maintenance living, this Coconut Grove residence offers an appealing alternative to both luxury condos and larger estate homes. For buyers seeking walkability, water views, and a strong connection to Miami’s outdoor lifestyle, it presents a compelling opportunity in one of the city’s most desirable neighborhoods.
