Known for its luxury and exclusivity, Bal Harbour remains one of the most sought-after neighborhoods on Miami Beach. Founded over 75 years ago by wealthy developer Robert C. Graham, the quaint suburb, once called Bay Harbour, has surpassed its founder’s exquisite dream and become a coveted enclave for prominent, wealthy Miamians. Here, you can enjoy exclusive beachfront living, the finest shopping, and outstanding gourmet restaurants amidst idyllic scenery. Art plays a prominent part in the local mindset and is worked into every facet of the city for residences to enjoy. Once a playground for the rich and famous, the village still attracts the brightest movers and shakers of South Florida.
Greater Miami has proven to be a real estate hot spot in the wake of COVID-19 and associated repercussions. Residents from other states looking for better weather, relief from high taxes, and tropical living year-round see Miami as the logical answer. Florida’s lower overall taxes attract high earners wanting to escape crowded conditions in cities such as Los Angeles, New York City, Chicago, Houston, DC, and Philadelphia but not abandon a more sophisticated, urban lifestyle. Many view Miami as the perfect alternative location to costly tax areas. In Bal Harbour and neighboring Surfside, new home sales in the four-million-dollar range and higher, are now comprised of 50 percent out-of-state buyers. Celebrities including Pharrell Williams, Shakira, JLo, and Floyd Mayweather call this area home. Carl Icahn (Ichan Enterprises), Steve Hafner (Kayak), and Nick Huzar (OfferUp) have moved divisions or entire corporations to South Florida.
Relocating to Bal Harbour allows you to live in the manner you desire without the hassles of other places. Engel & Völkers agent Marc Hameroff recently listed an upscale, sophisticated property in the newly finished and highly desired Oceana Bal Harbour. Located on the 17th floor, this three-bedroom and four-bath condominium is a spacious 2,526 square feet of pure luxury living with direct ocean views. The turn-key home, fully furnished and decorated by talented Steven G. Interiors, allows you to move right in and begin enjoying your superb new lifestyle. The kitchen features Dada cabinetry, a Gaggenau two-zone epicurean wine cellar and appliances, and gorgeous imported stone countertops. Bathrooms are finished with chic cabinets by Piero Lissoni and other exceptional touches with the master bath offering an oversized soaking tub for rejuvenation. Ten-foot ceilings and a generously sized balcony complete this breathtaking residence.
The Oceana Bal Harbour rewards owners with the ultimate in fine seaside living with well-appointed touches throughout the property. Listing agent Marc recently stated,
“Living at Oceana Bal Harbour is the epitome of privacy and luxury living at its finest. A true definition of prized oceanfront Bal Harbour lifestyle.”
Built by award-winning architectural firm Arquitectonica, the property optimizes ocean views and has meticulously maintained grounds with stunning landscape and quiet reflection pools by Enzo Enea. Sculptures by iconic artist Jeff Koons including the Seated Ballerina and Pluto and Proserpina can be found on the property as well as many other artistic masterpieces.
As a resident, you will benefit from boundless, first-rate amenities. The pristine, white-sand beach is only a few steps away from an Olympic-sized swimming pool and two jetted spas. After a stroll on the beach, you can step into the pool for a quick, refreshing dip. Stylish poolside cabanas are available for your use. Globally inspired cuisine, managed by Toscano Divino, can be enjoyed at the Oceana residents-only restaurant. Private engagements can be coordinated through the restaurant as well as the arrangement of specially delivered meals to your residence.
A private, world-class spa offers you the ultimate in relaxation and wellness. Book a day of pampering or simply enjoy time in the sauna and steam rooms. You can exercise in the state-of-the-art fitness center or join your neighbors for a yoga or Pilates class on the fitness pavilion. Oceana Bal Harbour has the only two championship tennis courts in the village. The clay courts are designed to reduce impacts on the body and act as a fitting tribute to the original Bal Harbour Beach Club. The expert staff can address any concerns and help guide you on your wellness journey.
Other amenities include a billiards recreation room, a multi-purpose kids activity room, and a private cinema/media room. Access to a grand entertainment salon, library, and meeting room are available as well.
