Sunrise Terrace – Coral Gables

Located in the coveted Sunrise Terrace neighborhood of Coral Gables, this stunning two-story modern farmhouse is a harmonious blend of rustic charm and contemporary sophistication. The home’s design is defined by the prominent use of gabled roofs, which lend a sense of traditional warmth while simultaneously guiding the eye toward the breathtaking views at the rear. These two dominant gables, perfectly aligned, frame the home and create a striking silhouette against the sky, enhancing its overall architectural presence. The design not only emphasizes form but also function, directing attention to the home’s most impressive feature—the expansive views of the surrounding canal.

The exterior of the house showcases a balanced mix of textures, with white-painted bricks used on the garage and accent walls in the backyard, providing a tactile contrast against the sleek, smooth stucco that envelops the rest of the home. The white stucco exudes modern simplicity, offering a clean backdrop that complements the rustic appeal of the gabled roofs. Dark gray aluminum accents, strategically placed along the eyebrows and other architectural details, bring a contemporary touch that contrasts beautifully with the soft whites of the stucco and brick, adding depth and definition to the design.

The abundant use of glass in the home allows the indoor and outdoor spaces to flow seamlessly, bringing in an abundance of natural light and enhancing the panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. Expansive glass windows and sliding doors in the living and dining areas provide unobstructed views of the lush backyard, while also offering easy access to the outdoor living spaces. These large glass panes not only connect the home to its environment but create a sense of openness that is further amplified by the vaulted ceilings beneath the gables.

At the heart of the backyard, the stunning pool becomes the ultimate focal point. With its clean lines and minimalist design, the pool perfectly complements the home’s modern farmhouse aesthetic. An embedded spa adds an extra layer of luxury, offering a tranquil space to relax and enjoy the surrounding natural beauty. The pool area is surrounded by spacious terraces, perfect for entertaining or lounging in the Florida sunshine. The backyard is further enhanced by lush landscaping that ensures privacy and creates a serene, resort-like atmosphere.

For those who appreciate the joys of waterfront living, the property boasts its own private dock with direct access to the canal, allowing for effortless boating or simply enjoying the peaceful waterside views. Whether viewed from the open-plan living spaces or the upper level’s private balconies, the combination of the modern farmhouse design with its lush surroundings and tranquil waterfront location makes this home in Sunrise Terrace a true sanctuary—a perfect blend of rustic elegance and modern luxury.
