Anthony Lopez and Dr. Nicole Martin have purchased a $34M Coral Gables estate, combining waterfront views, luxury design, and an exclusive address.
Miami’s luxury property market continues to make headlines, and the latest buyers to enter the fold are Anthony Lopez, a leading insurance attorney, and his fiancée, Dr. Nicole Martin, familiar to many from The Real Housewives of Miami.
The couple has just closed on a Coral Gables estate for $34 million, an acquisition that firmly places them among the area’s most high-profile residents.
The sale was handled by Dennis Carvajal and Maria Marin-Sanchez of ONE Sotheby’s International Realty, with Carvajal representing both the seller and the buyers in what stands as one of the year’s most remarkable deals.
The Appeal of Gables Estates
Their new home sits in Gables Estates, an enclave that has become synonymous with privacy, prestige, and sweeping views across Biscayne Bay. Behind the gates, the community is prized for its security and its sense of discretion, qualities that continue to attract prominent figures from business, law, and entertainment.
The property itself covers just over three-quarters of an acre, with 225 feet of direct bay frontage. At more than 12,500 square feet, the home is spacious but not overwhelming, and the orientation to the northwest ensures sunlight plays across the rooms throughout the day.
A Home Built With Scale
Completed in 2004, the residence was designed as a tri-level home, balancing entertaining spaces with family living and more private retreats. Its distinctive roofline and architectural detailing give it a confident presence while remaining in step with the style of Coral Gables’ waterfront estates.
Inside, the layout flows naturally. Hardwood and marble flooring set a polished tone, and the kitchen is as practical as it is refined. With custom cabinetry, a gas range, multiple dining areas, and the sort of appliances expected at this level, it serves both family meals and larger gatherings with ease.
Rooms That Speak to Lifestyle
This is a house that has been created with both leisure and productivity in mind. A climate-controlled wine cellar holds more than 2,700 bottles, a collector’s dream, while his and hers offices offer quiet corners for work.
The inclusion of a home gym, game room, and dedicated entertainment spaces reflects a lifestyle where work, wellness, and relaxation sit comfortably side by side.
Secure, Sophisticated, and Practical
Miami buyers are increasingly conscious of resilience as well as luxury, and this home does not disappoint. Impact-resistant windows and doors, a whole-house generator, and central air conditioning are all part of the specification.
The private lift, four-car garage, and modern security systems round out the sense of ease and self-sufficiency.
Living Outdoors
As with many of the finest Miami estates, the outdoors is as important as the interiors. Multiple terraces frame the views, while a summer kitchen and a heated pool with spa encourage a seamless flow of indoor-outdoor living.
The private dock and boat lift make it easy to slip straight out onto the bay, whether for yachting, watersports, or simply enjoying Miami’s maritime lifestyle.
Accommodation
The home offers seven bedrooms and seven bathrooms, with an additional powder room. The primary suite is positioned for privacy and enjoys direct terrace access along with dual sinks and a sitting area.
Additional rooms include a den, a great room, family living spaces, and practical facilities such as laundry and recreation areas. The detailing, from custom cabinetry to central vacuum systems, ensures the home is as functional as it is elegant.
A Community of Distinction
Living in Gables Estates carries additional benefits. Residents contribute an annual association fee of $7,500, which covers common-area upkeep and security.
Facilities for boating, coupled with proximity to some of the area’s strongest schools, including Sunset Elementary and Coral Gables High, add to the attraction.
A Defining Sale
At $2,711 per square foot, the transaction marks a high point for Coral Gables real estate. It demonstrates both the enduring draw of waterfront living and the strength of Miami’s luxury market.
For Lopez and Martin, the estate offers more than space and design. It represents a lifestyle centred on privacy, elegance, and the cultural vitality of Miami itself.
With its combination of waterfront setting, architectural ambition, and comprehensive amenities, the home is not only a personal milestone but also a benchmark for the region’s property market.
