A full-floor residence high above Biscayne Bay is offering a different take on waterfront living, one that trades docks and seawalls for elevation and uninterrupted views.
Residence 5501 at Elysee Miami, now listed for $7.695 million, occupies a commanding position inside one of the city’s most architecturally distinctive residential towers.
Represented by Lourdes Alatriste of Douglas Elliman, the four-bedroom home spans nearly 4,000 square feet and opens directly from a private elevator into interiors wrapped in floor-to-ceiling glass.
From this height, the residence captures sweeping views of Biscayne Bay, the Atlantic Ocean, and the Miami skyline.
The property is being offered fully furnished, with interiors curated using Italian design pieces and custom architectural finishes.
A full-floor residence accessed by private elevator
Arrival begins with a private elevator that opens directly into the residence.
This approach eliminates shared corridors and establishes a level of separation more commonly associated with single-family homes. The entry sequence leads immediately into a gallery corridor designed to showcase art and frame the views beyond.
Nearly 4,000 square feet of living space surrounded by glass
The Elysee Miami condo spans approximately 3,887 square feet and is enclosed by 10-foot-high glass walls on multiple sides.
This transparency creates constant visual contact with the water and skyline. The layout allows light to move through the residence throughout the day, changing the atmosphere from morning to evening.
The effect is immersive rather than decorative.
Interiors furnished with custom Minotti pieces
The residence is being offered fully furnished with pieces by Minotti, the Italian furniture brand known for its architectural forms and material quality.
These furnishings integrate directly with the home’s layout, reinforcing the sense of cohesion between architecture and interior design.
The result feels intentional and complete.
A Calacatta marble kitchen with Miele appliances
The kitchen combines Calacatta marble slab walls with integrated Miele appliances and Italkraft cabinetry.
An eat-in layout allows the space to function as both a cooking area and gathering point. The material palette continues the home’s overall emphasis on stone and natural finishes.
Taj Mahal Dekton flooring throughout the home
Flooring finished in Taj Mahal Dekton extends across the residence.
The material introduces a consistent tone and texture, connecting the individual rooms visually while reflecting light from the surrounding glass walls.
Terraces positioned for both sunrise and sunset
Deep outdoor terraces extend from the main living areas.
Their positioning captures both eastern and western exposures, allowing residents to experience sunrise over the Atlantic and sunset over Biscayne Bay from the same home.
These terraces function as outdoor rooms rather than simple balconies.
A primary suite with custom dressing room
The primary suite introduces a more private environment within the residence.
Laser-cut walnut detailing defines the bedroom, while a custom Ornare dressing room incorporates built-in storage and lighting. The suite also maintains direct views of the water.
A flexible layout including a chic office and additional suites
Additional bedrooms provide space for guests, family, or work areas.
A glass-enclosed office allows for privacy without sacrificing views. A family room with built-in bar can also function as an additional bedroom if needed. The layout adapts to different uses, not something you typically see in South Florida condos, even at this price point.
Integrated smart home technology throughout
The residence includes integrated systems for lighting, sound, and climate control.
Lutron lighting, Sonos audio, and KEF speakers allow owners to manage the environment from within the home or remotely. These systems operate quietly in the background.
Inside one of Miami’s most distinctive residential towers
The home sits within Elysee Miami, a 57-story residential tower located along Biscayne Bay.
The building’s height and waterfront position give residences unobstructed views in multiple directions. Elysee’s limited number of units reinforces its exclusivity compared to larger condominium developments.
Its silhouette has become part of the Miami skyline.
A bayfront position above the Edgewater waterfront
The tower stands in Miami’s Edgewater neighborhood, directly facing Biscayne Bay.
This location places residents minutes from Downtown Miami, the Design District, and Miami Beach while maintaining a quieter residential atmosphere. The elevation separates the residence from the activity below.
A vertical alternative to traditional waterfront estates
At $7.695 million, Residence 5501 represents a different form of waterfront property.
Rather than occupying land at sea level, the home achieves its connection to the water through height and perspective. Plus, amenities worthy of the home’s trophy-level status are just below.
From above, the bay becomes part of the home’s interior experience.
