Coldwell Banker Residential Real Estate’s Hope Fuller Lists $3.8 Million Smart Home in the Tower House
Most Expensive Listing in Building, Overlooks La Gorce Country Club
MIAMI BEACH, FL (March 29, 2016) — Hope Fuller, a Previews® property specialist with Coldwell Banker Residential Real Estate’s Miami Beach office, has listed 5500 Collins Avenue, Unit 1103 in the Tower House for $3.8 million. The residence is being offered turn-key, fully-furnished and has recently undergone a two-year, $1.8 million upgrade. The home’s lighting, air-conditioning with humidity control, window shades and audio/visual components are all connected through Crestron’s Automated Control System.
“The design of the luxury residence is very modern and everything is flush, including the doors, cabinets and even the electrical outlets. While this home is magnificent, one can’t help but marvel at all of the technological enhancements and features included in every single room,” said Fuller.
The one-of-a-kind, two-bedroom, three-and-one-half-bath luxury residence boasts over 2,800 square feet of living space with unobstructed waterfront views as well as views of the Miami Skyline from every room. The living room overlooks the gourmet kitchen featuring a full-slab marble countertop, Subzero, Gaggenau and Miele appliances, as well as Moldunova cabinetry with integrated lighting. The wet bar and media center harmoniously blend into the sleek design of the common area, while just beyond the glass doors is the XXX-square-foot terrace furnished with Summit Outdoor furniture.
The master bedroom is more like a retreat with his and hers separate bathrooms with full-slab marble walls, custom air tub, steam shower and Toto washing toilets, as well as his and hers custom closets. Other rooms in the units include a laundry room with Electrolux appliances and private garbage chute and a guest room with an enlarged private bathroom.
The unit is brimming with ample technological features and unique design elements like extensive soundproofing to the guest room, living room and kitchen. Guests occupying their room can play music as loud as they want without disturbing anyone, and likewise for loud music from entertaining in the media area of the living room. Five independent audio sources and nine designated independent speaker zones make for an optimal sound experience.
The Crestron system is completely customized to the owner’s specifications. The six-button panel at the entrance of the unit features buttons programmed for departure, arrival, long-term travel, returning from long-term travel and others. For instance, should the owner be travelling for an extended period of time, the ‘Bon Voyage’ button would raise the air-conditioning temperature, close the curtains and turn off the lights. Upon their return, pushing the “Bienvenidos” button would lower the temperature, open the shades and turn on the lights throughout the home.
The Tower House is a private, full-service, 82-unit building with only four units on every floor. Building amenities include onsite concierge, 24-hour security, walking track, tennis courts, fitness center and pool. An on-site restaurant offers room service with a private chef. Two valet parking spots are included per unit with unlimited guest parking spots and 17-boat slips.
