Home for Sale in Miami Beach, Florida, USA
Live with the Celebrities on Prestigious Hibiscus Island
Hibiscus Island is a private island in the Biscayne Bay off of Miami Beach with approximately 140 elite homes. It is considered one of the “celebrity islands” along with Star Island and Palm Island and is in an association with them. There is a guard gate with armed Miami Beach police officers and homes valued more than $20,000,000. Hibiscus Island is exclusive being only 5 houses wide. It is a highly desirable area with limited houses available. Also, being a small island, the land is the major value of the properties. And there are only a few oversized dry lot properties on Hibiscus Island like this one.
This property is the best dry lot property on prestigious Hibiscus Island. It has slight bay views, an oversized lot (over 14,000 sq. ft) and it's next to the park so all you see are trees. An International architect renovated this jewel to keep but must sell. Why live in just a house when you can live in a piece of art? This 4/2, or 3/2 + Florida room masterpiece is detailed in every nook and cranny with European elegance. The beautifully wood carved mantel and cathedral ceilings is reminiscent of a vineyard house in Italy. And even the door jambs are custom designed with 2 inch solid mahogany doors from South America. You will not likely find such intricate stonework and mosaics of marble, granite, glass tile, and onyx as in this house except in the Versace Mansion. Wood floors are throughout except in the terrazzo entry, kitchen, and Florida Rm. It is also prewired for speakers in every room including the bathrooms!
The exotic granite in the kitchen was quarried in Mozambique and has a 3 dimensional affect as if you are underwater. The floor is crushed marble resembling beach sand with mother of pearl glistening in the sand. European appliances and custom cherry cabinets complete the richness of this highly efficient space.
The roof terrace is another special spot of the house! You feel as if you’re in a tree house with vast views of trees from the oversized yard and the adjacent park. And you can glimpse the bay! If you built up or put in a widow’s walk you would have both Northern and Southern bay views and be able to view the other islands across the bay.
