Snapper Creek, Estate of the Day

Filed under: Estates

Today's home had a $1.5 million price cut a few months back but that's not the only reason I'm featuring it. This large home is in the gated community of Snapper Creek Lakes in Coral Gables, Florida. This is an older subdivision, originally developed in the 1950s. It includes a privately owned boat basin with a full-time dock master and security. It offers direct access to Biscayne Bay. Today's home is a six-bedroom plantation style home with delightful wide porches. It's a colorful home with plenty of hand-painted details including a vine mural in the wine cellar. Although it has a luxurious feel with a formal dining room and grand spaces, there is also a warmth to this home that makes it more appealing than some of Florida beige faux Tuscans. The property also includes a pool, dock and two-bedroom guest house. Other nice features include a media room, family room and a generator to cope with potential power outages. This property is now listed at $10.999 million.
