WARM WEATHER, WHITE-SAND BEACHES AND A WORLD-RENOWNED CULTURE
An inside look at Jeff Miller’s hottest Miami properties.
MILE-HIGH CHALETS AND LATE AFTERNOONS FULL OF APRÈS-SKI…may be the makings of a winter wonderland dream for some. However, to a select few, basking in the tropical Florida sun is the proper way to enjoy December. For decades, Miami Beach has been a haven for the jet setting elite, and for good reason. Warm weather, white-sand beaches, and a world-renowned culture are within reach in as little as 2 hours from New York City.
“We have a climate unlike anywhere else in the United States,” says Jeff Miller, Miami Beach’s leading Luxury Realtor with Brown Harris Stevens. “Our outdoor-focused culture embraces winter; it’s the best time of the year for Miami Beach.” And with over $1 Billion in transactions, plus several record-breaking multi-million dollar sales under his belt, Jeff knows what his clients want.

Winter season is packed with renowned events: Art Basel, Food & Wine Festival, diverse local events, and a star-studded list of award-winning culinary establishments. Miami Beach has something to satisfy everyone’s appetite. So when the globe-trotting elite are looking to purchase a home away from home, the first call they make is to Miller. Not to mention, Jeff has quite the collection of exclusive listings.
When looking at purchasing a home in Miami, Miller has a stunning inventory of lux homes to call your own-at least if you can write the check. Ranging from $4M-$30M the crème-de-la-crème can be yours. “The most popular neighborhood in Miami Beach is ‘South of Fifth,’” says Miller, “the walkability to the beach, bay, and parks makes it a huge draw for clients.” And he should know, Miller currently has several listings in this neighborhood. From his lavish resort-style Continuum unit-located on 12.5 oceanfront acres for $5.085M to the posh Apogee for $10.9M, this neighborhood has it all.

The crowned jewel at the Continuum is located in the same corner as the developer’s personal unit, which goes to show, if you can have anything, surely pick the best location. Complete with Sunrise and Sunset views, this unit features all the luxury amenities you can imagine from beach chairs to spa services. Also in the neighborhood, is a stunning unit at Apogee. Known for its exclusivity and ultra-private abodes, “with almost 4,000 square feet, this three-bedroom unit has jaw-dropping ocean, bay and city views, absolutely a trophy property with everything you could dream of,” Miller explains.
Traditional homes aren’t the only option when it comes to living in paradise. When looking for a building with a hotel component, Miller has a soft spot for the Setai. “Not only is the Setai a Leading Hotel of the World, but residents can live and rent out their units through the hotel’s management program, making it the perfect fit for so many of my clients.” And we can see why. His current listing, unit 2007, is a gorgeous two-bedroom oceanfront sanctuary for $4.1M.

The beach isn’t the only hot-spot buyers are seeking out. Miller fills us in on Brickell, a hip, metropolitan area of Miami. “It has a bit of a New York feel and is still centrally located, so everything is either already here, or just a quick drive away.” His four-bedroom, $4.599M listing at the Santa Maria, is quite the home in the sky. Miller states, “I always tend to imagine the perfect combination of Palm Beach and Miami Beach with this unit. Its timeless elegance reminds me so much of Manhattan, without the cold weather, of course.” We have to agree with him. With over 4,000sf, the unit features stunning sunrise and sunset views, with plenty of bespoke features.
With all Miami has to offer, especially in the winter months, it’s easy to see why so many call this tropical paradise “home.” Opulent residences, world-renowned beaches, famed cultural events, award-winning restaurants, an active outdoor lifestyle, the list goes on. Whether you’re considering Miami Beach as your first, second, third, or fourth residence, there are a wealth of unique homes at your fingertips. Be sure to work with an experienced Realtor to make your homeownership dreams come true. Jeff Miller is available for private showings and can be reached at (305) 610-4509.
