Coral Gables, FL sounds like a nice place to live. Who are we kidding, any place in Florida sounds like a nice place to live depending on where you’re coming from. Well, Alex Rodriguez is REALLY living in Florida and Architectural Digest captured just how luxuriously he is, in the June issue.
ARod bought 1 and a half acres in 2003 after his sister and realtor Suzy Dunard suggested he buy in Coral Gables. He assembled a dream team to design and decorate his 11,000 sq. ft. of opulence. Architects Ralph Choeff and Paul Fischman along with interior decorator Briggs Edward Solomon truly made the house a home for ARod and his daughters Ella, 8 and Natasha, 11.
Pictured with his daughters ARod says in Architectural Digest, “The words that I kept thinking were long term. I kept imagining my kids rushing home from college for the holidays.” By the looks of it, we can imagine them rushing home from college too!
The home includes a saltwater pool, an in-ground trampoline as well as an indoor basketball court.
The home boasts an art collection that rivals some museums with pieces from Keith Haring, Theaster Gates, and Andy Warhol.
ARod and his team not only designed a visual masterpiece but made this home feel warm and inviting. They hit this one out the park!
