Located on the upper part of North Bay Road in Miami-Dade County, sits a magnificent Tuscan villa home that overlooks Biscayne Bay on a 20,000-square-foot lot.

Any family that moves into this charming estate that’s listed for $18.5 million through the Jills will get a daily dose of beautiful sunsets courtesy of its aptly named location, Sunset Islands.

A minimally decorated foyer leads to many rooms in the house that gives outdoor views of the water including the living room, dining room, and bedrooms.

Referred to as an “opulent Italian villa” in the property listing, the 10,000-plus-square-foot home resembles a gorgeous French chalet with its surrounding royal palms and climbing ivy.

Although it comes with a $117 monthly homeowners association fee, the unfurnished home is worth it, especially, when you factor in a private dock, boat lift, and access to the beach.

A private paved driveway with lush landscaping leads to a home located at 1401 West 27th Street that includes eight bedrooms, ten bathrooms, and a separate guest house.

The home’s bespoke interior decor includes fine Jerusalem stone floors, arched windows, and elegant crown molding that meld perfectly with its smart home technology (it’s fully equipped with Crestron home automation system).

Upstairs leads to a Tudor-inspired master bedroom suite that includes an armoir and yellow oakur wallpaper.

There’s also a kitchen, an oakwood bar reminiscent of an English Pub, a family room that’s decorated in zebra-print wallpaper, theater, and a library.
