Uniquely positioned directly across from a lush, semi-private park, this fully 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 Miami Beach.
Thoughtfully reimagined for modern living, this two-story residence strikes the perfect balance between elegant and 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 and framed by the backyard’s pool views. The easy and natural flow of the home as you move through invites pure connection—perfect for gatherings, laughter, and relaxed family living.
At the heart of the home lies a brand-new (2025) chef’s kitchen, featuring custom stainless and wood cabinetry, large dual islands, Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances and minimalist finishes. A Holly Hunt–inspired built-in wet bar anchors the kitchen to the adjoining breakfast dining area and family room, creating a warm, circular hub for entertaining and everyday moments alike. Adjacent to the kitchen is a separate Den or ideal playroom, perfect for kids, with a connected zen cabana bath that exits to the backyard pool area. At end of the first floor is a roomy and fresh laundry room. Finally, a tiled 2 car garage (under A/C) provides for organized storage, as it is fully equipped with a Garage-Tek cabinetry.
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.
Upstairs, an elegant espresso-wood circular staircase leads to an expansive primary suite with a private balcony overlooking the pool, dual 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.
The fifth bedroom, located downstairs with its own ensuite bath and separate entry, offers flexibility for guests, a live-in nanny, or an independent teen.
Every detail of the house has been meticulously updated for peace of mind, including a new roof (2023), electrical system (2024), 5 bathrooms (2025), kitchen (2025), digital ADT alarm (2025) and hurricane-impact windows (2007).
Blending an architectural pedigree, intentional renovation, and true warmth, this home isn’t just beautiful—it’s a place to build a life. A home where children can grow, friends can gather, and memories are made under the palms, across from the park that feels like an extension of your own front yard. It’s truly a paradise.
