A Gorgeous Coral Gables Mansion for the Water (and Design) Enthusiast

by Alyson Pitarre

In Florida’s Coral Gables community, waterfront homes often double as parking spaces for boats. This recently listed Gables Estates residence by Judy and Nathan Zeder of Coldwell Banker Realty-affiliated The Jills Zeder Group is no exception – but it elevates the idea of waterfront living with clean, sophisticated high design.

Offered on the market for $39,900,000, the 18,045 square-foot Mediterranean Revival is effortlessly spacious with 223 feet of prime waterfront to match. Of course, there is a private dock for your prized watercraft, which will surely please the serious yachter. But for the person who appreciates beautiful things? The light, bright, airy interiors forgo overly flashy nods to glamour in favor of serenity and natural beauty. A calming neutral color palette sets the backdrop for an undeniably relaxing atmosphere meant for casually refined living and entertaining.

A unique blend of natural materials, bespoke finishes, state-of-the-art amenities and designer elements lift every room. A grand hallway leads to a beautiful living room, a formal dining room, a great room, and an eye-dazzling chef’s kitchen with a sweeping center island and Miele, Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances.

For parties, you’ll have seamless flow to the expansive outdoor terrace with lounging and dining areas, an outdoor kitchen and an infinity-edge pool and spa that cascades to manicured landscaping.

A total of nine bedrooms, nine full bathrooms and two half bathrooms offer privacy for everyone. The principal bedroom suite presents a haven that’s pure luxury with a balcony, spa-like dual baths and walk-in closets. Other highlights include a gym, office, media room, elevator and staff quarters.
