House in Unincorporated Dade County, FL 33034

20275 SW 396th St

Everglades Paradise is a hilltop 3-story masterpiece of architecture on almost 5 acres that sits at the edge of the Everglades, where neighbors are down the road, not next door. Less than an hour from downtown Miami and just 15 minutes to the gateway to the Florida Keys and the city centers of Homestead and Florida City. This spacious home, while comfortably livable, has a rustic, unpolished character that invites your personal updating inside and out. Enjoy your own star fruit year round and mangos & lychees every spring. Starlink, Comcast Fiber and Verizon 5G keep you connected. The first floor, with marble floors, is currently used as a private apartment/office with a large living area, a bedroom (used for exercise & storage) and bathroom. Its glass sliding doors open into a screened patio with more marble floors that afford dramatic views of the landscaped surroundings. The second story is open to the third floor and has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a great room combined with an open kitchen. All of the second-floor living spaces have glass sliding doors that open to a sweeping wrap-around veranda that extends the inside area to the natural beauty outdoors. The third floor loft opens to east & west terraces with expansive views of the Everglades and surrounding farmland, stretching to the horizon. 2nd & 3rd floors all Mexican tile.
