Uniquely positioned directly across from a lush, semi-private park, this renovated Kobi Karp–designed residence is a rare find on coveted Sunset Island II. With its ivy-covered façade and orchid-laden palms, the home is as welcoming from the inside as it is stunning from the outside —a true sanctuary in the heart of South Beach.

Thoughtfully updated and renovated for modern living, this two-story residence strikes the perfect balance between elegant, clean design and everyday unpretentious comfort. The entry foyer, illuminated by a designer fixture, opens to airy, open-concept living and dining spaces filled with natural light framed by the backyard’s pool views. The easy and natural flow of the home invites pure connection—perfect for gatherings, laughter, and relaxed family living.

At the heart of the home lies a brand-new chef’s kitchen, featuring custom stainless and walnut cabinetry, large dual islands, Sub-Zero fridge and double Wolf ovens, with minimalist finishes making it a true dream kitchen. A Holly Hunt–inspired built-in wet bar anchors the gourmet kitchen to the adjoining breakfast dining area and expansive family room, creating a warm, circular flow for entertaining and everyday moments. Adjacent to the kitchen is a separate den or playroom, perfect for kids, with a connected large custom cabana bath that also exits to the pool.

The backyard patio has a wonderfully private oasis feel, green and dense with lush foliage, that surrounds the pool and waterfall, made special during barbecue nights with twilight landscape lighting throughout.

Upstairs, an elegant espresso-wood circular staircase leads to an expansive primary suite with a private balcony overlooking the pool, two large walk-in closets, and a spa-inspired bath—your personal retreat at the end of each day.

Three additional bedrooms follow: two connected by a Jack-and-Jill ensuite ideal for children, and a third with its own private bath and peaceful park views. A sunlit home office with a charming picture window completes the second floor, offering the perfect space for work, study, or creativity.

At end of the first floor is the fifth bedroom, with its own ensuite bath and separate entry, which offers flexibility for guests, a live-in nanny, or an independent teen. Finally, a comfortable laundry room awaits with an oversized washer and dryer follwed by a tiled 2 1/2 car garage (under A/C) which is set up for organized storage, fully equipped with a Garage-Tek cabinetry.

Virtually every detail of the house has been meticulously updated for turnkey enjoyment, including 5 1/2 renovated bathrooms, new gourmet kitchen, a new roof, electrical panels, new ADT digital alarm system and hurricane-impact windows. There is also an exterior Tesla charging port.

Life on Sunset Island 2 is truly a paradise.
