5800 La Gorce Dr, Miami Beach FL 33140

Description

The romance of old Miami Beach, beautifully updated, directly on the fairways of La Gorce Country Club. Mornings framed by palms, mangoes from your own tree, afternoon swims, and sunset dinners overlooking the golf course. Built in 1929 and beautifully renovated, this Spanish Mediterranean residence on La Gorce Drive pairs timeless elegance with a prime Miami Beach location. Behind a bougainvillea-draped façade, arched windows, terracotta floors, beamed ceilings and an exquisitely carved wood-burning fireplace create interiors filled with warmth and character. A light-filled kitchen and butler’s pantry invite leisurely entertaining. Three bedrooms upstairs include a primary suite with a sitting area overlooking the fairways; downstairs, a staff bedroom with a full bath offers flexibility. A separate one-bedroom guest cottage offers privacy for visiting guests. Outside, a lush tropical garden surrounds the pool, opening to an extraordinary panorama of green, sky, and golden evening light. With no homes on 3-sides of the property, the landscape feels almost endless. An approximately 500-square-foot upstairs terrace offers possibilities for a private outdoor retreat. Set on an approximately 9,875-square-foot corner lot, the property includes a two-car garage and a carport accommodating six cars, with gated access. This home is for those drawn to Spanish Mediterranean charm, slow mornings, long evenings, and falling in love with Miami Beach more and more every day.
