There is a lot of history behind Coconut Grove as it is the
oldest continuously inhabited neighborhood of Miami in all of Miami-Dade
County. Many notable professional
athletes and other celebrities make their homes or have owned homes in the
exclusive communities within Coconut Grove because of the atmosphere and the
fact that while it is as luxurious and affluent as many affluent areas of the
city of Miami, it is kind off the beaten path and offers privacy and a quieter
lifestyle.
Coconut Grove real estate reflects this atmosphere and
lifestyle with elegant and beautiful estates in some of the most elite
neighborhoods in all of Miami-Dade County.
While the homes are architecturally different, their common attributes
are the exclusivity of the neighborhoods, the privacy, and the absolute
magnificence of the homes. To highlight
this level of real estate, following are the top five single family homes on
the market in Coconut Grove.
Hughes Cove is, without a doubt, one of Florida’s most elite
communities. Its draw for decadent
living is obvious in the size and detail of each home in the small neighborhood. With such a small number of homes set on
multiple lots, the neighborhood features its own park, private dock and tennis
courts secured with a gated entry and perimeter security wall.

enthralled with this home as the formal dining room accommodates 14+ with the
outdoor dining area over 20. On the Bay,

handsome arches in interior doorways and entries, this home is a sight to
behold. On the grounds, perfect
landscaping surrounds a beautiful lily pond as well as a multitude of gardens, a

other. Multiple large patios offer
amazing Bay views.
