Privacy starts before the front door at this $38.5 million residence in Bal Harbour.
The nearly 7,800-square-foot home at Oceana Bal Harbour is reached by a private elevator equipped with facial-recognition technology, providing controlled access directly to the residence.
Once upstairs, the scale changes considerably.
The newly renovated, never-lived-in home has four bedroom suites, a dedicated office, separate study and staff quarters, along with more than 2,300 square feet of wraparound terraces overlooking both the Atlantic Ocean and Biscayne Bay.
Dina Goldentayer of Douglas Elliman holds the listing.
The residence is being offered fully furnished, with Minotti pieces and other Italian furnishings selected for the interiors.
Oak flooring and custom millwork run through the main living areas, where floor-to-ceiling glass keeps the ocean firmly in view.
Rather than relying on one enormous great room to handle every occasion, the floor plan breaks entertaining into several distinct spaces.
There’s a formal hosting salon, an oceanfront entertaining room, a west-facing television lounge and a large dining area anchored by a glass-enclosed wine library.
That arrangement gives the home different places for everything from quiet evenings to larger gatherings without sacrificing the sense of openness expected from a residence this size.
The kitchen takes an equally polished approach.
Designed by Pedini, it centers on a Taj Mahal stone island large enough for casual dining, with appliances from Gaggenau and Wolf.
A separate breakfast area turns toward the bay, creating a noticeably different outlook from the ocean-facing entertaining spaces elsewhere in the home.
The primary suite is positioned to take advantage of sunrise and Atlantic views.
Two oversized dressing rooms provide substantial storage, while the bathroom is finished with floor-to-ceiling marble slabs and a freestanding floating soaking tub.
The three additional bedroom suites continue the home’s emphasis on privacy, while the separate office and study make room for work without requiring one of the bedrooms to double as a workspace.
Full-home automation controls many of the residence’s systems, complementing the building’s facial-recognition elevator access and 24-hour security.
But more than a quarter of the home’s usable living experience actually happens outside.
More than 2,300 square feet of terraces wrap around the residence, extending the principal rooms outdoors and capturing both east-facing ocean views and west-facing sunsets over the bay.
That dual exposure is one of the advantages of occupying such a substantial footprint high above Bal Harbour.
Oceana Bal Harbour itself adds another layer to the offering.
The oceanfront condominium includes an Olympic-style swimming pool, spa, Pilates room, tennis courts, restaurant and 24-hour concierge service.
There is even a pet grooming salon offering dedicated grooming services.
And art isn’t treated as an afterthought in the building.
Oceana is known for a collection that includes work by Jeff Koons and other internationally recognized artists, placing large-scale contemporary art throughout the property rather than confining it to individual residences.
Bal Harbour Shops sits just steps away, putting the home close to one of South Florida’s best-known luxury retail destinations while the building itself occupies a direct oceanfront position.
At $38.5 million, the residence is clearly competing at the very top of Miami’s condo market.
But its appeal isn’t built around a single dramatic feature.
It’s the combination of nearly 7,800 square feet inside, another 2,300-plus outdoors, ocean and bay exposures, multiple entertaining rooms and a level of privacy that begins with an elevator recognizing who is allowed upstairs.
