Just Sold | Murano at Portofino Miami Beach #3201 Trades for $7.3 Million Posted on February 2, 2023 by Sarah Elles Boggs The Light Group at Douglas Elliman is proud to announce another new neighbor has been added to the chic South of Fifth enclave of South Beach. It may seem as though luxury high-rise apartments are a dime a dozen in Miami, but each residence on each floor of each building is truly one of a kind, and Murano at Portofino #3201 is certainly no exception. After much searching, considering, looking, measuring, designing, and negotiating, we are very proud to have put together an exceptional deal for $7.3 million on a one-of-a-kind, high-floor residence with the best views Miami Beach has to offer. The 01 line is among the most coveted floor plans of this luxury waterfront development, offering 3 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms and a media room/den eloquently laid out over 3,365 square feet of interior space. The plan has two terraces that offer both sunrise and sunset views as well as an additional wall of glass in the kitchen and dining area with panoramic views of Downtown Miami, Biscayne Bay, and the ocean. Residences on lower floors are not able to experience the same dramatic, sweeping views of the entire South Florida area.

The primary bath has a dedicated steam room as well as an oversized tub near the window with a gorgeous view of the aquatic life below. While the residence had been previously renovated, another dramatic face lift is in store. The buyers anticipate $1.5 million of additional renovations and upgrades to their new home, having flown in their interior designer prior to determining that this apartment was in fact “The One.” In addition to the in-residence amenities, the development lacks for nothing. Residents of Murano at Portofino enjoy direct access to the marina, a bay-side beach club and an al fresco restaurant in addition to the tennis courts, pool area and lavish spa. Top notch security keeps the peace and privacy inside the development and ensures that only invited guests are granted access. There are many prominent residents at this development, but you would never know it as the staff is accustomed to ensuring the privacy onsite. Venturing outside of the development, owners are able to walk to local iconic places of interest that include Joe’s Stone Crab and Prime 112. Watch the cruise ships depart with a glass of wine on the patio at Smith and Wollensky at sunset, or enjoy a low-key afternoon at Monty’s. The seller of Murano at Portofino 3201 was represented by Dina Goldentayer, also from Douglas Elliman and an agent who we very much enjoy working with, and the buyer was represented by Michael Light and Brooke Travis from The Light Group. The original listing price was $8.36 million, so we feel that our buyer ended up with an amazing price that is a win/win for both the seller and the buyer. The new owners will now begin their $1.5 million renovation because they are confident in the future of the Miami Beach market.
