16960 SW 74th Ct
Overview
Prepare to fall in love with this stunning Modern Colonial Revival, setting a new standard in Palmetto Bay! Fully renovated by a designer, this showstopper blends timeless architecture with contemporary luxury. Set on a sprawling 18,260 SF lot with 4,004 SF of living space, this 5-bedroom, 4-bathroom home offers plenty of room to live, entertain, and grow. The massive newly paved driveway leads to whitewashed brick accents and striking architectural details, setting the tone before you even step inside. Enter through a grand foyer with checkerboard tile flooring beneath soaring 14-ft coffered ceilings and dimmable LED lighting throughout the home's living spaces. Herringbone-pattern porcelain tile floors, exposed wood beams, and black-framed impact windows and doors create a truly distinctive interior. The chef's kitchen is an absolute showpiece, featuring an oversized island, custom cabinetry, and a 60-inch Lofra gas range. Colonial Revival-inspired bathrooms showcase marble surfaces, brass fixtures, and elegant vanities, including a spa-worthy primary bath with a freestanding soaking tub. Outside, escape to a private courtyard oasis with an expansive patio and saltwater pool with a brand-new pump, perfect for entertaining. Additional features include a 2018 roof, 3 new A/C units, spray foam insulation, new irrigation, and a 2-car garage. A one-of-a-kind home where classic character meets modern design!
My Take After Reviewing This Listing
My take after reviewing this listing: Palmetto Bay is one of the few pockets in south Miami-Dade where families still buy for the land, the trees, and the schools rather than a lobby, and a street like this in Banyan Cove trades on lot size and privacy more than on a building name. On price per foot, a fully renovated single-family home here sits in a different conversation than the older, unrenovated houses that set the low end of the area, so the asking level reflects the redo, not the block. From the photos, the designer work reads real and consistent: impact windows, coffered ceilings, and the herringbone and checkerboard floors point to a full gut, not a cosmetic flip. The 18,260 SF lot is the scarce piece here, so if the land and the finish level check out in person this one is worth a serious look. Before I wrote an offer I would want the permit history on that full renovation and confirmation the impact windows and the roof were done under proper permits.
