Privacy cost? A gated Coral Gables property on a secluded cul-de-sac is listed for $69.9 miββioπ.
The Tuscan villa-style seven- or eight-bedroom home on a 2-acre property with 500 feet of canal frontage on Biscayne Bay features 11,800 square feet of living space.
Shakira, Marc Anthony, Romeo Santos, and Emilio Estefan, all guests of AlarcΓ³n, lend luxury to this house.
Delgado said exclusivity is the main draw. The mansion is on a peninsula surrounded by water, making Coral Gables even more exclusive.
βThis is one of Coral Gablesβ two gated communities on private streets,β Delgado told The Post. βCommunity owns the street.β This gated community is unusual. Delgado said his client chose it for privacy.
Two acres for one home is rare in Miami. AlarcΓ³n bought Delgadoβs house 15 years ago.
AlarcΓ³n adds, βI purchased the home in 2006 for approximately $12 miββioπ before totally refurbishing it for my needs.β
The 2003 ground level has a big kitchen with marble floors and counters, a butlerβs pantry, and a breakfast area. There is a family room, formal living room, and bright formal dining room.
The ground-floor 12-seat home theater with panoramic screen and theater-quality audio/visual systems is another benefit.
The second level has a separate spa with a steam room, sauna, hot tub, massage area, and powder room, four bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, and a huge master suite. The listing counts the spa as a bedroom since it may be changed back.
The terraced grounds contain an Italian-style center courtyard, a coral rock-surrounded pool, a half basketball court, an enclosed gazebo with hurricane-impact windows and air conditioning, and the private marina.
AlarcΓ³n has welcomed A-listers in his gazebo, media room, and outdoor settings, often to promote their future releases.
