Arrive to a refined world of privilege securely and privately atop 2 levels on the southeast face of South Beach's most sought after building. The moment the doors open from your private elevator you sense the refined, understated elegance and the absolutely world class view. Warm teak floors present 2 powerful symbols of the highlife - a custom designed brushed steel and stone staircase inviting you to the 3,200 square foot rooftop playground and the luxury of wide open space with drop dead views. The foyer ceiling height of nearly 25' is a hint of the architectural pleasures of this residence.

The bold, neutral volume of the large living room is warmed by the sun streaming in through floor to ceiling sliders on the east and south walls. The blue sky and ocean dominate the view. Adjacent to and flowing from the living room and its wide balconies is the fabulous entertainment kitchen with granite islands for casual dining and cooking.

Pass through double doors of exotic wood with frosted glass insets into the master suite. Its bedroom shares dynamic beach and city views and is dominated by a cosmopolitan entertainment center and headboard answering to the architectural elements first presented in the soaring arrival hall. Its bath is a refined treasure of huge Philippe Starck tub and Hansgrohe faucets, Kohler fixtures, and a giant shower area featuring a Starck Rain Hat shower with plenty of other jets. The adjacent dressing area has 2 walk-in closets with custom doors and shelving systems. The master suite is the ideal oasis for beach and city living.

From the center of the apartment teak floors radiate out into a grand dining and art salon with direct ocean views. A floating wall of warm, beige marbles with teak elements display individual art pieces. Generous wall space throughout the apartment befits the collector. A second private elevator here serves the gallery and its adjoining office, guest suite, and media room.

 

Your guests will stay in equally grand style in this "above the city" retreat. Cozy quarters attach to an amazing private bath, which includes the prized Kalista forced water jets tub with its 125 gallon in line heater to keep your guests warm while they soak it its splendor. Nearby media room houses state of the art systems for TV, video, and stereo with all modern conveniences included. Amazing ocean views disappear at the touch of control initiating the theater with the close of custom blackout curtains.

From the center passing the built in bar and Asian refined guest powder room, the dynamic architectural stairs invite guests to the pleasure palace on the roof. This exceedingly private space stretches from peaceful Oceanside to long beach and dramatic city views. It allows a dip in a very private pool, a soak in a Jacuzzi overlooking the ocean, and perhaps a nap or an overnight stay on its queen size bed. Breathtaking views abound as well as enough space to accommodate many, many guests, a charming roof swing, dining area, BBQ, kitchen facilities, bathroom, shower, and a working fireplace! At night it offers the most sophisticated setting in South Beach, quietly perched high above the abundant nightlife and dining of Ocean Drive.

Minutes from the cultural center of South Florida yet firmed planted on its most famous beach.
