Grand Giorgio Balli–Designed $16.75 Million Italian Villa Estate Hits the Market in Miami’s Ponce Davis

A gated Italian villa estate with more than 9,000 square feet of living space has just hit the Miami market.

Priced at $16,750,000, the residence at 8301 SW 53rd Avenue sits in the coveted Ponce Davis neighborhood and was designed by renowned architect Giorgio Balli, celebrated for his luxury home designs across South Florida.

Inside, the grandeur of the estate is immediately apparent with a soaring double-height foyer and sweeping marble-clad staircase that set the tone for the home’s opulent style.

The open layout flows into a gourmet kitchen with top-tier appliances, a sprawling family room, and elegant formal living and dining areas, along with a private home theater. Upstairs, a lavish primary suite features vaulted ceilings, dual walk-in closets, and a spa-inspired bathroom.

The home boasts an impressive seven bedrooms, six full bathrooms (plus two half baths), and nearly 7,000 square feet of interior living space. But the luxury of this property extends well beyond its white stucco walls.

Outside, multiple patio spaces frame a resort-style pool, summer kitchen, and built-in barbecue.  Rounding out the manicured 0.84-acre lot is a basketball court, a children’s playground, and a two-story guest cottage that’s ideal for hosting without compromising privacy.

Built in 2008, the home blends timeless Mediterranean elegance with modern amenities. The terracotta-inspired roof, and rich finishes in wood, marble, and ceramic showcase craftsmanship at every turn. Practical luxuries abound as well, from high-impact windows and a generator hookup to electric vehicle charging and a circular paver driveway.

Tucked within the prestigious Ponce Davis neighborhood, the home’s location is also notable, cherished as it is for its tranquil setting among foliage-lined streets, as well as proximity to all the refined dining and urban amenities of Coral Gables and South Miami.
