Inside A One-Of-A-Kind Oceanfront Home On Miami Beach | Listed For $37.5 Million Posted on April 17, 2024April 21, 2024 by Sarah Elles Boggs Despite what its reputation would lead you to believe, Miami Beach is not full of beachfront homes. Sure, there are many options for beachfront hotels and luxurious condo offerings, but those who are searching for beachfront single-family homes need to begin their search farther north in Golden Beach, where there are a few select purchase opportunities… until now. The Shore Club Private Residences, a historic redevelopment of the iconic hotel at 1901 Collins, designed by Robert A.M. Stern Architects is set to offer the first single family residence on the Miami Beach sand. While details of this monumental project are purposely scarce, we have been able to learn about their on-of-a-kind residence that is offered for $37.5 million. Rendering of The Shore Club Beach House The Shore Club Beach House Entering into the stunning glass-enclosed triplex home, you find a discreet private entrance on the first floor that enters into a beautiful wide-open gallery filled with bright natural light. The great room offers panoramic views of the ocean and a dramatic 3-story glass staircase. An expansive 66-foot loggia with an outdoor wet bar is just steps away with an outdoor living space as well as a fitness area. Two guest bedrooms are located on the first floor with a more private owner’s suite on the second floor. This is where you will find the main living area and the primary bedroom suite. On the rooftop, owners will enjoy a rooftop terrace with a private infinity-edge swimming pool and a sunset terrace. In total, the home offers 6,051 interior square feet with four bedrooms, four full bathrooms and three powder rooms. Each of the rooms are designed to be of immense size, making way for large-scale paintings or sculptures. “This is the first single-family home built in the sand in Miami Beach and on top of that it’s a Robert A.M. Stern custom-designed home directly on the water and you have all the amenities associated with the Auberge resort and the residences. There is not another house like this in all of Miami Beach,” The Shore Club Private Residences’ Sales Director told Mansion Global. Rendering of The Shore Club Residences Pool Entry The Shore Club Amenities As The Beach House is an exclusive part of The Shore Club Private Collection, owners will experience all of the services and amenities of Auberge Resorts-managed property. On days when the owners are feeling slightly more social, they can venture over to the private residential pool that is set in a lush garden surrounded by private cabanas and a poolside bar. There is a 24-hour reception and concierge services, a spa and beach club, fitness club with a second private gym and personal training suites, a children’s play area, and signature Auberge restaurants that include a café bar, poolside dining or in-residence catering. The Shore Club Private Collection As we have previously covered, The Shore Club Private Collection is a proper redevelopment of the iconic hotel including the neighboring Cromwell Hotel. Robert A.M. Stern has envisioned a new era for the historic property that includes a new glass-enclosed 200-foot tower of private residences solely for the global elite. No two residences in the private collection will be exactly alike but will range in size from 2,400 square feet up to 7,000 square feet. In total, there will be just 49 residences including the Beach House and a rooftop penthouse that recently went into contract, asking a staggering $120 million. The developers, Monroe Capital and Witkoff, are being purposely scarce with details of their new exclusive collection citing the privacy as an added amenity of the project. Specifics are only being released to approved buyers and brokers. Douglas Elliman is the exclusive broker for The Shore Club Private Collection.
