Check Out Photos Of Kylie Jenner’s Art Basel Rental Mansion

Miami Beach waterfront home Kylie Jenner rented

A photo posted by Kylie (@kyliejenner) on

Art Basel, a time for attention-grabbing excess… and for the family that is known for attention-grabbing excess, we would expect no less than this $8,000/night rental mansion for 19-year old Kylie Jenner.

During the week-long internationally acclaimed art fair, Ms Jenner took to social media, showing off its many features. According to TMZ, the home was actually an Airbnb rental. Tsk tsk. Airbnb has been a hot topic in Miami Beach lately, the city is issuing $20,000 fines to homeowners who get caught letting out their places on the website, since it skips the city’s hotel tax. At $8,000/night though, that fine can be made up relatively quickly and who knows, maybe the owners did pay their hotel tax.

Anyway, the home is a newly constructed waterfront estate on Miami Beach’s Hibiscus Island. The 1/4 acre lot was originally purchased in 2012 by a Swiss doctor for just under $5.5 million. The original house, which was built in 1994, was torn down and construction began on the current mansion. It has 6,700 square feet with 6 bedrooms, 6.5 baths, an elevator and rooftop terrace, private theater, bayfront swimming pool and summer kitchen with skyline views. The estate is asking $20 million for purchase. Here are the photos from the Airbnb listing:

DEAL ALERT: Lovely Venetian Islands Waterfront Home Has $2M Reduction

Venetian Islands Waterfront (6)

Earlier today a little birdie peeked into our email tip line and suggested that there was a house at 1370 S Venetian Way on San Marco Island that was going through a series of price reductions with an “especially eager” seller. I thought to myself, “this is going to be fun.” I jumped over to the MLS to see what could possibly be wrong with the house that would make a total of $2 million in price reductions necessary. What I found was an especially lovely house and nothing to make fun of. Heck, if I’d love to live here if I had $5.865M.

The house hit the market back in August for $8.9M and has had steady reductions ever since. It is now priced alongside the average closed sales price for similar waterfront properties on the Venetian Islands, which is $5.865M over the last 3 months. Built in 2001, the current owners have outfitted the property with tasteful updates and seemingly kept the property up well. They opted for things like hurricane impact windows throughout over the typical more flashy upgrades we typically see in Miami. Good call.

Situated on a southern-exposure waterfront lot with 60 feet of frontage to the Biscayne Bay, the views from the pool, patio, balcony and rooftop sundeck are beautiful day and night. You would be able to see the Port of Miami, Downtown Miami lights and skyline and the underlit MacArthur Causeway at night. The interior is 4,033 square feet with 5 bedrooms, 4.5 baths and a guest house. As of today, the listing price is $5,865,000 and from the tip we received, I imagine there is more room to negotiate. I’m at a loss. I don’t know why this house has no buyer. Do you have suggestions? Have a look at the MLS photos and drone video below and let us know. You can also compare it to other luxury houses in the neighborhood by viewing our collection of luxury homes for sale in Miami, Florida.

Venetian Islands Waterfront Lot Fetches $6.5 Million

412 Dilido

412 Dilido

Just this morning, escrow was closed on a 15,750 square foot lot at 412 West Dilido Drive on the Venetian Islands to an unnamed businessman from Brazil. The sale included plans for an amazing 7 bedroom home with almost 8,500 square feet of living space designed by Max Strang.

According to those involved in the sale, the buyer does intend to build his personal residence on the property. The plans are already approved and permitted from the grandfathered code regulations that allow a larger home, 1,100 square foot rooftop terrace and a private elevator. The same home would not be approved today.

Other aspects of the planned residence include an Ipe wood summer kitchen and Fleetwood telescopic floor to ceiling sliding doors. The buyer will have the opportunity to customize the interior to his taste. Aside from the 3rd floor rooftop terrace, there will be a series of three 2nd floor covered decks, two first floor patios, a cabana and an atrium. The lot offers 90 feet of waterfront with a dock and amazing sunset views.

The property and plans sold for $6.5 million. Dora Puig from our very own Luxe Living Realty represented the seller and David Pobiak from Beachfront Realty brought the buyer. See below for renderings of the project:

Nicely Updated Deco Delight on Sunset Island III Wants $3.9 Million

IStw8169pkc73w1000000000This Art Deco hacienda on Sunset Island III is listed for $3.9 million, and pretty darn gorgeous. Originally designed by the noted deco architect Martin Hampton in 1939, the house maintains most of its deco integrity, including a fireplace, terrazzo floors, and seductive curves (although it has admittedly lost a few things over the years, like the bathrooms). Overall a good show.

Maison & Objet Does Miami, Again: Inside the French Interior Design Fair

Martone Bicycles on display at Maison & Objet.

Maison & Objet, the preeminent French interior design, decor, decoration, and architectural fair is back in Miami for the second annual incarnation of Maison & Objet Americas, its American edition based in Miami. This time around, the fair has begun to settle in to its permanent American home and grow, taking up double the hall space in the Miami Beach Convention Center, sustaining more satellite exhibitions, events, and parties, and and letting embracing Miami and Miami Beach more than ever. (Last year I explored the fair for Curbed Miami) The fair began today and runs through Friday, with the center of activity being the convention center, but plenty to see in the Design District, Wynwood, and around South Beach. But before all that, here’s a first look at some of the design and decor inside the main show.

Brickell Flatiron Issues Groundbreaking Notices; Construction Begins in March

Brickell Flatiron Rooftop Pool

Fans of Ugo Colombo will be overjoyed to hear that groundbreaking notices have been delivered to the buyers of Brickell Flatiron, the long-awaited project at 10th Street & South Miami Avenue in Brickell. According to the notices, the official groundbreaking is scheduled for March 16, 2016 although preliminary site work will be commencing immediately.

Brickell Flatiron Construction Notice

Locals will recall that this groundbreaking has been quite long-awaited. Ugo Colombo’s CMC Group purchased the site in 2013 for $21 million. In January 2015, the popular neighborhood restaurant/nightclub was closed to make way for the development. Since the closing and demolition, not much has been said with regard to the actual construction start date. The site has been used as overflow parking for the neighboring shopping center and restaurants.

This groundbreaking is very much a triumph for the neighborhood as Ugo Colombo is one of the area’s most celebrated developers. His previous projects have been among the most successful developments in the city and tend to hold their value through market fluctuations better than some of the competing buildings due to their quality and unique design. Some of his previous projects include Santa Maria, Bristol Tower and the Epic Hotel and Residences in Brickell as well as the famed Grovernor House in Coconut Grove.

One of the aspects that we appreciate the most from Ugo Colombo’s developments is that they have a more lasting effect on the skyline. Buildings that he built 10 or 20 years ago still appear brand-new in the skyline and do not show their age even as newer buildings pop up around them. The average resale price of Mr. Colombo’s developments stands at $757/foot over the last year, compared to $506/foot for the same time period for all buildings developed by The Related Group.

Purchase opportunities are still available at Brickell Flatiron, in the range of $600/foot depending upon layout and floor location. Residences will be delivered in 2018 fully finished with Italian porcelain tile. Contact us for details about the available opportunities or to speak about your specific needs for a condo.

A Tour of the Malibu-style Beach House located at 222 Ocean Drive in South Beach – Asking $14,995,000

street view - 222 Ocean Drive

Tuesday afternoon, I had the pleasure to drop by an open house that my broker, Dora Puig, was holding, so I could see first-hand the amazing new luxury listing she recently landed – a 7,000 square foot, Malibu-style beach house located at 222 Ocean Drive in the South Beach neighborhood known as South of Fifth. It’s not often that you get the chance to visit a single-family home in that neighborhood. In fact, there are only two other single family homes that exist in all of South of Fifth, and this is the only one that is located across the street from the beach, right smack on Ocean Drive. In terms of location, it doesn’t get much better than this. Fortunately, location isn’t the property’s only strong suit. It’s also incredibly sexy. The moment you walk into the recently renovated, three-story home, you are greeted with soaring 20-foot ceilings and an elegantly appointed, white spiral staircase. The luxury home for sale consists of 4 bedrooms, 4 full baths, 2 half baths, and includes a theater room and bar; a custom wine cellar; 11-inch wide plank Oscar Ono rustic wood floors; a custom kitchen with best-in-class appliances by Viking, Miele, and Sub-Zero; a private, rooftop deck with pool and summer kitchen; and an air-conditioned 2-car garage to boot. This is the type of property that will appeal to a special kind of buyer – one who fully appreciates its uniqueness and location, and, of course, has close to $15M to indulge. As for the rest of you, the accompanying photos will have to do.
