A generational home on 1.6 acres in Miami\u2019s oldest enclave just hit the market for a breathtaking $110 million.<\/p>\n
The listing, first reported by the Wall Street Journal<\/a>, boasts a secluded, private waterfront that is increasingly coveted in the red-hot luxury real estate market of Miami-Dade County. Broker Ashley Cusack of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices EWM Realty holds the listing.<\/p>\n Aside from the Biscayne Bay views and 106-year-old charm, some of the credit for the eye-popping price tag might just rest on its next-door neighbor.<\/p>\n The Brickell Avenue home sits of 1.61 acres of highly sought-after waterfront. \u00a92026 Ashley Cusack\/BHHS EWM Realty\/Luxhunters.

All Rights Reserved.<\/p>\n Alongside the $110 million listing sits the two-parcel assemblage of billionaire hedge funder Ken Griffin. The Citadel and Citadel Securities founder set a then-record<\/a> for Miami-Dade county with the $106.8 million deal. <\/p>\n \u201cI think it changed the game in Miami altogether,\u201d Cusack told The Post. \u201cIt was the first sale in Miami-Dade County that sold over $100 million, so I think that it definitely broke that ceiling.\u201d<\/p>\n Single-family home prices in Coconut Grove \u2014 a historic community known for its greenspaces and sailing clubs \u2014 climbed a feverish 205.8% between 2019 and 2025, the Journal reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n Average home values reached over $1.2 million as of early 2026, according to Zillow. The community\u2019s precious waterfront homes, however, can fetch far more.<\/p>\n The gated wall surrounds the secluded property. \u00a92026 Ashley Cusack\/BHHS EWM Realty\/Luxhunters.

All Rights Reserved.<\/p>\n This newest listing is no exception. <\/p>\n The 1.61-acre property spans 170 feet of Biscayne Bay frontage, and resides along the city\u2019s sought-after Brickell Avenue corridor. <\/p>\n The three-story residence, constructed in 1920, sits at the center of the lot. It possesses a stately white-washed interior and original Dade County pine floors within. The Romfh family has carefully maintained the home for nearly a century.<\/p>\n The Romfhs, which the Journal dubbed \u201cone of Miami\u2019s pioneering families,\u201d count Edward C. Romfh, mayor of Miami in the late-1920s, among their numbers. <\/p>\n The home last traded hands within the family in 2012. \u00a92026 Ashley Cusack\/BHHS EWM Realty\/Luxhunters.

It\u2019s one of two residences between Griffin\u2019s compound and the historic Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, a former 1916-era villa.<\/p>\n The area is once again undergoing a revolution, this time driven by deep-pocked billionaires.<\/p>\n Coconut Grove is Miami\u2019s oldest inhabited neighborhood, thanks to its naturally high elevation that protects residents from the elements. Affluent residents like the Romfhs established early roots there, and a wave of bohemian artists reshaped the community in the 1960s. <\/p>\n Interest in the lot varies between the historic home and the land itself. \u00a92026 Ashley Cusack\/BHHS EWM Realty\/Luxhunters. All Rights Reserved.<\/p>\n Despite the influx of wealth since then, Cusack, who grew up in the area, said the enclave has kept much of its idyllic character.<\/p>\n \u201cIt still has a charm to it that I think it has nicely maintained,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n Despite the historic charms of the Romfh family\u2019s longtime home, it might not be around for much longer. Interested buyers vary between those who want the house and those who just want the land, Cusack said, noting that a deal \u201ccould go either way.\u201d<\/p>\n The Nunes-Rohmf home could easily be plucked by the area\u2019s recent wave of tech buyers hungry for trophy properties, including Jeff Bezos, Sergey Brin and Larry Page.<\/p>\n When it comes to billionaire buyers, however, Ken Griffin\u2019s South Florida portfolio<\/a> is at the tip of the spear. Griffin owns seven adjacent lots on Star Island worth a collective $169 million, and he\u2019s spent more than $400 million<\/a> assembling a roughly 20-acre compound in Palm Beach.<\/p>\n Citadel boss Ken Griffin set a then-country record with his purchase of two neighboring parcels.

All Rights Reserved.<\/p>\n Cusak is the same agent that brokered Griffin\u2019s Coconut Grove purchase in 2022, The Post previously reported.<\/p>\n The sale included two bay-front houses once belonging to philanthropist Adrienne Arsht, including the landmarked former home of three-time presidential candidate William Jennings Bryan. <\/p>\n Griffin has yet to tear down his Coconut Grove residences, but his recent $20 million donation<\/a> to the Vizcaya Museum and Gardens came with a personal request. He wants to move the landmark home to Vizcaya\u2019s historic farm village.<\/p>\n
