The two-story estate on 5030 North Bay Road in Miami Beach brings the Mediterranean to Florida, with 8,697 square feet and distinctly European design elements. Listed with The Jills for $21 million, the home features six bedrooms, six full and three half bathrooms, and offers 140 feet of waterfront to the lucky future owner. Plus, there’s two private guesthouses for visitors.
Built in 1937, the house could use some updating in terms of furnishings, but the structure itself is beautiful. With courtyards and fountains—not to mention an awesome spiral staircase—the property looks like it could easily be the set for any upcoming modern-day Shakespeare adaptations. It has a large chef’s kitchen, a private dining room with a bay window, roomy living areas with views of Biscayne Bay, and a master suite on the second floor with a private balcony and his/her marble bathrooms.
On the 33,960-square-foot lot there are covered loggias, an interior courtyard, Banyan trees (one that’s over 100 years old), a saltwater pool, and a private dock. “This magnificent estate is such a special property,” says Jill Eber of The Jills. “It embodies the perfect combination of timeless architecture, history, and breathtaking views of Biscayne Bay and Downtown Miami.”
So, if anyone is looking for somewhere to shoot their 2015 version of As You Like It, this may be it.
