Botanical Luxury Sanctuary 3725 LEAFY WAY | COCONUT GROVE
Leafy Way, an architectural marvel located deep in the verdant heart of Coconut Grove, boasts the most beautiful gardens in all of South Florida. As a piece of Florida history, the estate and extensive grounds are noted for their provenance, design and formidable gardens. This ultraprivate, residential enclave offers an elevated lifestyle within a lush, magical landscape that spans nearly three acres. Yet it lies within walking distance of the vibrant, historic neighborhood’s shops, restaurants and entertainment.

Landscape architect Raymond Jungles created the ultimate, private botanical garden that lives up to the address’s enchanting street name. Setting a new standard in living, this elegant home captures the beauty of indoor-outdoor spaces with an exceptional backyard. His stunning, one-of-a-kind landscape design encompasses a rare collection of palm trees and tropical and native plants centered on a serene reflection pool.
The Unique Grounds: Palm species include lady, oil, silver date, old man and zombie, among others. Thick bamboo provides further privacy, while cascades of monstera deliciosa, creeping fig and mondo grass complement the enveloping green sanctuary. Inspired by Italian holidays, a coral rock archway frames the formal garden’s entrance. Twin, arched arcades, a reflection pool (in addition to a swimming pool), pergola and grand, curved staircase descending to an intimate grotto add to its European elegance.
Serene water features extend to Mediterranean-style fountains and gushing waterfalls. Hardscapes blend patterned pebble mosaics and limestone pavers flecked with coral fossils. Romantic bridges contribute to the sense of discovery and wonder.
The main estate features five bedrooms, four full baths and two half baths. Local, pioneering architect Richard Kiehnel designed the home in the 1920s with materials characteristic to the Grove. He used pecky cypress, wrought iron and Cuban tiles to magically achieve decades of patina overnight. One ceiling’s thick, wooden beams with decorative stencils are similar to those found at the nearby Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables. Shady breezeways’ perforated masonry marries function and architectural flourish. The roof incorporates salvaged, centuries-old clay barrel-tiles imported from Cuba.
Leafy Way’s unique atmosphere offers seamless transitions from interior to exterior spaces as well as plentiful, classical columns and arches repeated on doorways, windows, bookcases and outdoor design elements.
The detached guest house has two floors. Upstairs features three bedrooms, one full bath and a kitchen/sitting area. Downstairs features one executive office, two junior offices, a powder room, kitchenette, gym and loggia leading to a four-car garage.
