Some homes are designed to impress. Others are designed to make you feel something the moment you arrive. 6716 San Vicente does both with quiet confidence. Conceived by award-winning Shulman + Associates, San Vicente House draws inspiration from the great Mediterranean patio homes and relaxed modernism of mid-century California estates. Inside, timeless materials and an unmistakable sense of serenity define the experience of San Vicente House. At every turn, the home opens outward. Walls of glass disappear into lush outdoor spaces, blurring the distinction between inside and out. Each space flows effortlessly into the next, creating a home that feels expansive yet intimate. Fitted with La Cornue, the culinary experience is anchored for true epicurean chefs, while every suite is framed with lush garden windows and soaring ceilings. The result is a complete smart home that feels both intimate and expansive, designed as much for slow mornings as it is for elegant entertaining. A drive court allows recreational space and opens to the car port, providing a second entrance to the home. Set along one of Coral Gables’ most historic streets envisioned by George Merrick, perfectly located adjacent to Coconut Grove, Country Clubs, and beyond, San Vicente House blends architectural heritage with a refined, modern sensibility. A rare expression of Coral Gables living where light, architecture, and heritage come together in with the art of living well.
