Leucadendra – Coral Gables

Nestled along the serene Leucaedra Street in Coral Gables, this two-story residence embodies a tropical modern design that perfectly integrates with its lush surroundings and prime canalfront location. The house is a stunning example of contemporary architecture, with clean lines, expansive glass surfaces, and thoughtful material choices that enhance both the natural beauty of the site and the functionality of the living spaces. Designed to adapt seamlessly to the unique contours of the property, the home maximizes views of the tranquil canal and the private dock, creating an inviting and luxurious waterfront retreat.

The exterior is characterized by a striking combination of natural materials, with the use of cypress tongue-and-groove wood on the ceilings lending an organic, yet sophisticated warmth to the structure. The wood accents beautifully contrast with the sleek, white stucco walls, and the open rooflines create a sense of spaciousness that flows effortlessly from the inside out. Expansive glass walls dominate the rear of the house, blurring the line between the indoors and the outdoor living spaces, allowing the canal views to become a focal point in nearly every room.

Inside, the open-plan design creates a sense of airiness and light, with large, unobstructed sightlines leading directly to the water. The living, dining, and kitchen areas flow seamlessly into one another, providing an ideal space for both family living and entertaining. The choice of natural materials continues indoors, with elegant wood paneling, stone flooring, and custom-designed cabinetry that add texture and depth to the modern aesthetic. The integration of glass throughout the home not only enhances the connection to the outdoors but also allows for an abundance of natural light to flood the space, creating an atmosphere that is bright, welcoming, and serene.

The outdoor living areas are equally impressive, with a generously sized infinity-edge pool that seemingly merges with the canal beyond, creating the illusion of water extending endlessly into the horizon. This stunning pool is framed by lush landscaping and spacious terraces, perfect for lounging, dining, or enjoying the Florida sunshine. The design of the home enhances access to the canal, with a private dock that extends from the property, offering easy access to the water for boating or simply enjoying the serene views. Whether viewed from the open living spaces or from one of the home’s many outdoor seating areas, the seamless connection between the house and its canalfront setting makes this home a true sanctuary, where modern luxury and natural beauty come together in perfect harmony.
