Every week, Realtors in Miami Beach can showcase their home to other realtors interested in Miami Beach Real Estate. This is a great way to get familiar with something new and preview homes for clients. I find this especially helpful with single family homes, because they vary so much in size, design, and age. On occasion, an opportunity to see a stunning property arises. Today, was one of those opportunities.

On my daily 5 minute commute to the office, I’ve witnessed the construction of 2040 North Bay Road. This home is just beautifully designed with an ultra modern clean finish. As you walk up the floating stone staircase to the front door, you’ll notice a Koi fish pond underneath.

Welcome to 2040 North Bay Road

Once inside, the wide living area is separated from the dining area by a beautiful fish tank with walls of glass between the home and the outside covered entertainment area. Natural light just pours in from the glass backsplash in the kitchen area, the rooftop glass over the wide stair case, and the numerous glass walls throughout the residence. As you tour through this home, it’s evident that it was built for the resident who enjoys entertaining. A fully equipped movie theater is found behind a expansive wet bar sitting on the wide landing leading to the 2nd floor with three bedrooms. The master suite is just divine with a spacious terrace overlooking the pool and water. There are so many details in this home, but just to name a few more, There are a total of six bedrooms, six full baths, two half baths, two kitchens plus a summer kitchen, a pizza oven, fireplace, four car garage, infinity pool, spa, and a roof top sunning lounge with 135 ft of waterfront and just steps to Sunset Harbour in South Beach.

For the buyer with a substantial budget, perfection is priced at $16,500,000.

Moving is a common practice in a real estate agent’s life. We’re seeing condos and single family properties on a regular basis, and often find an opportunity to purchase our next home. My last move was in 2004. It was the seventh in ten years. When I called up my moving company, the first thing they said was, “Laura, you’re moving again!?” Well, as it happened, this move was to the Sunset Harbour North Condominium. Given my track record, it’s hard to believe that I’ve been living here for seven years. But I do really feel at home in Sunset Harbour. Although there are certain amenities that have been present since day one, like the space age Publix on the Bay,  the Maurice Gibb Memorial Park and the Sunset Harbour Marina, the neighborhood is now teeming with new life. The Sunset Harbour North & South Condos were always very appealing Read more…

If you’ve been in Miami or Miami Beach recently, you’ve been one of the lucky individuals enjoying the extremely pleasant weather lately. Whether you’re just visiting or live here, it’s a great time to open up the windows, and enjoy that wonderful crisp air. In the past, our high season would start with the new year, after all the holidays. In fact, Art Basel organizers chose the beginning of December because it was not as busy, and the hotel occupancy level was low, ensuring that visitors would have plenty of options when booking their stay. However, when Art Basel Miami Beach began in 2002, we all started experiencing an earlier start of the season. With the huge success of Art Basel Miami Beach, Read more…

Since the Real Estate market decline in 2008, REO (real estate owned) or Bank Owned properties started popping up in Miami and Miami Beach. We quickly started working with banks by conducting BPO’s (broker price opinions), then listing these properties for sale.

And buyer appetite for Miami Real Estate listed as REO is definitely high.
