The Banyan Residence

8450 SW 74th Terrace, Miami, FL 33143

5 Bedrooms ● 4 Bathrooms

A two-level residence on a quarter-acre lot in South Miami, set back behind a landscaped forecourt and circular drive beneath wide, low-pitched rooflines. A recessed portal in board-formed concrete marks the front door. Inside, an open timber-and-glass stair rises over an interior planted courtyard, where grasses and river stone run beneath the treads. The living room sits under exposed timber ceilings, anchored by a walnut media wall against a stone pier, with a built-in library wall and a glazed wine display. The kitchen gathers around a six-seat marble island, with full-height walnut cabinetry concealing the pantry and integrated appliances. The primary suite pairs a vaulted ceiling and seating corner with two dressing rooms and a spa bath, while a covered outdoor lounge, second-floor balcony and private pool open to mature landscaping.
