Minimalist Anti-Beach Condo Directly on the Beach is Listed for $695,000

July 27, 2016

The broker’s description calls this oceanfront pied-à-terre in the South-of-Fifth neighborhood “the ultimate beach pad” because of its adjacency to the sand and ocean as well as its views. It’s also in the southern neck of South Beach which has the perk of being quieter and more removed from the rest. Listed at $695,000 for a measly 640 square feet it might technically be a studio even though the stats say 1 bedroom (see: Unit 405, at 301 Ocean Drive). Shady stuff like that happens all the time, you know. Meanwhile, according to released photography, the interior has chunky wooden additions surrounded by an almost sterile environment. The ocean is a lot more than a white cube with occasional bits of woofloden furniture floating about. so shouldn’t the family ‘beach house’ be similar?
