The Sunset Islands of Miami Beach leave us mere mortals drooling, as their multi-million dollar homes are quite literally dripping in luxury, magnificent sunset views, and Mediterranean detailing. Think: extravagant fountains, massive archways, palace-like columns, and sumptuous courtyards.
Though most of these properties have undergone renovations, they nearly all give a nod to old Miami Beach architecture, even while serving as vessels for modern needs and wants: home theaters, massive kitchens, heated pools, and the latest appliances.
Drooling yet?
Recently, Esther Percal represented the sale of a Sunset Island II home that broke records for the 2nd highest sale price paid for a non-waterfront home. 1425 W 25th Street, located on an enormous 12,500 SF corner lot, sold for $3,567,750. This stunning 4 bedroom/4.5 bathroom estate has 5,047 SF of luxurious living space with impressive high vault ceilings, vibrant open spaces, & a lavish pool & patio area. This masterpiece of a home is located on a quiet, peaceful street & impresses with a private terrace.
If you’re wondering who came in 1st place for a non waterfront home sale in the Sunset Islands, that title went to 2830 Lucerne in Sunset Island I, which sold for $4,707,000. This was a record breaking $1,292 per SF. The non-waterfront home, designed by noted architect Carlos Schoeppl in 1936, was renovated and restored to perfection.
“Proving once again that classic style lasts forever & that a house can be fabulously restored while preserving and respecting its unique characteristics.” -Esther Percal, Senior Vice President of EWM International Realty
