When we think of a waterfront home in Miami, we think of it in the midday sun. That’s because the imagery we’ve been bombarded with, stemming from photographers and agents, always pictured it (literally) at noon. It’s when the developers and estate agents snap up the home for selling materials, and it’s when residents snap up the home for socials.
