Property Description
This architectural triumph, artfully designed by Rick Brautigan, Inc., is a remarkable study in contrasts. Here hard industrial-style elements (witness the metal roof and pitched master bedroom ceiling, steel spiral staircases, built-in metal bookcases) and urban design (evidenced in the stunning master bath and sleek gourmet chef’s kitchen) are a striking contrast to the interior architectural curves, fluid exterior water elements, and lush tropical setting. The result is a design that surprises and delights at every turn.
Intrinsic to this remarkable vision is a high level of luxury, a focus on personal privacy, blended with the utmost sophistication. The creative use of open space, a split plan that separates the guestrooms and completely secludes the master suite, walls of nearly uninterrupted windows that bring the outdoors in, designer fireplaces and stylized lighting all work to maximize the emotional impact. Fiber-optic exterior night lighting, a dramatic 2-story entry foyer, industrial-style elevator, glass and steel stairs, glass-fronted cabinetry add to the urban mystique.
With the serenity of seemingly endless ocean views from the great room and master suite; immediate access to the beach; inviting amenities that encourage guests to stay and play; close proximity to the eclectic shopping, dining and nightlife along vibrant Atlantic Avenue; this ultra-contemporary residence, complete with its own private guesthouse, proffers the energy and ambiance so essential to an exceptional South Florida lifestyle.

Steps away, an open living area with a gas fireplace designed by Dominique Imbert looks out through sliding glass doors to an oceanfront covered patio. Down the hall, glass-shelved built-ins are prelude to a library with floor-to-ceiling metal bookcases and a steel spiral staircase to the third floor master suite. Off of this second floor library, an open walkway leads to the private one-bedroom guesthouse with sitting room and ensuite bath.
