A generously proportioned great room with floor-to-ceiling impact glass doors and windows opens to a large terrace with bright and luminous views of the pool and bay. Wall space for the finest art collections with ample proportions are illuminated by natural light from sunrises and sunsets.

Located on one of Key Biscayne’s most private and scenic streets, this South Mashta Drive home offers a waterfront address like none other.

Set in coral stone, the original name of the home Casa Manatee reflects the uniqueness of this tropical residence.

All bath and powder rooms are designed with the finest materials featuring glass tile mosaics that mimic the color of the sea.

A second-level family room overlooking the pool and bay is the perfect spot for entertaining with friends and family. Setup for flatscreen entertainment and surround sound, it offers views everywhere you look.

Surrounded by a large and spacious patio, privacy hedges and swaying palm trees, an infinity pool and spa give the sensation of swimming in the ocean.
