Sleek and ultramodern, this swoon-worthy villa in the heart of Coral Gables certainly has the wow factor. We’re blown away by every inch, from the tremendous 10-foot ceilings and full-height windows right down to the matte grey floors. The monochrome color scheme, high-spec custom kitchen and cool, contemporary design wouldn’t be out of place in an architectural magazine – and the mod-cons like electric shades, wine fridge and Smeg cooktop make it even more impressive.
