Highland Beach’s most spectacular penthouse artfully melds four residences into an ultra-luxurious estate-in-the-sky filled with sublime Ocean-to-Intracoastal panoramas.
Taking its place as the crown jewel of South Florida's Gold Coast, this duplex penthouse resides amidst brilliant blue skies and endless ocean waters from high above the majestic three-towered Tuscan-inspired enclave’s lush 17-acre grounds. This splendorous abode was created in a painstaking three-year endeavor, combining four residences in a fluid floor-plan totaling 11,662± square feet, a feat specially engineered during the building’s construction and virtually impossible to duplicate today. Noted as one of the world's finest penthouse residences, this sublime offering has it all.
Stepping into the 17th-floor rotunda foyer gives a breathtaking prelude to a comfortably elegant Old World showplace, featured in “Florida Design” (Volume 12, Number 3), designed by architect Shane Ames along with interior designers Steven Hefner and Joseph Fava. Nine balconies optimize panoramic Ocean-to-Intracoastal views that also fill the versatile living areas blending intimate settings and generous spaces designed for the passionate entertainer. Along with the glamorous theater room, the 16th floor encompasses three of the four bedroom suites featuring the master suite’s sumptuous five-room sanctuary. This truly is a penthouse extraordinaire, unlike any other, layered in the luxury of its own private realm within Toscana’s seaside paradise.

Upper Level: Beyond the private elevator vestibule, the column-lined, inlaid marble foyer is adorned with hand-painted Italianate murals by artist Ivan Rizov. Intricate balustrades encircle the sweeping staircase. Directly ahead, a floor to ceiling window wall brings sublime ocean views into the elegant living room, also spanned by glass doors opening to living/dining terraces on both sides. Warmly inviting, the library is appointed with rich mahogany cabinetry, elaborate ceiling treatments, and glass doors to a teak-ceilinged balcony facing the ocean. Leading to another balcony, the lounge hosts the gilded powder room and full-service semi-circular bar topped with Italian onyx. An archway enters the formal dining room which opens to a garden balcony and encompasses a wonderful intimate dining alcove with leaded-glass window and uniquely designed wine storage. A full-service butler’s pantry adjoins. The epicurean’s kitchen is beautifully designed with Downsview cabinetry, Jerusalem limestone counters, and appliances by Gaggenau, Miele, and Sub-Zero. Set off by a rotunda with floor-to-ceiling aquarium and muraled ceiling by Karen Wagner, the inviting open-plan breakfast/family room is the focus of everyday living, and features crackle-finish walls, custom built-ins, and a balcony facing the ocean and city. Another powder room and a staff suite complete this level.
Lower Level: Off the central gallery, “The Paradise Theatre” is a vision of glamour - perfect for movies or concerts – with a stage-like screen space, silk-covered acoustically designed walls, gold pilasters, blue-velvet-covered reclining chairs, and lobby “concession stand” for popcorn and candy. A trompe l’oeil-painted powder room adjoins. Opposite the gallery, double doors enter the grand oceanfront master suite, designed as a haven of luxury and serenity. Glassed with a floor to ceiling bay window wall framing the direct ocean view, the master bedroom opens to balconies on both sides. A morning bar is adjacent. Separated to either side are the suite’s custom-appointed his-and-her offices, wardrobe rooms, and lavish marble baths.
