Price of Legendary Whitehall Mansion at 5930 North Bay Road Reduced to $25 Million; 7213 Fisher Island Drive Listed for $12 Million
MIAMI (Dec. 1, 2016) — The Jills®, Coldwell Banker’s No. 1 agent team in sales volume worldwide for the fifth consecutive year, are pleased to announce two extraordinary properties that are priced to sell. The price of the storied Whitehall Mansion, the 20,862-square-foot mansion at 5930 North Bay Road, Miami Beach, FL 33140 on Millionaire’s Row, has been reduced from $29 million to $25 million. Plus, 7213 Fisher Island Drive, Miami Beach, FL 33109, a ground floor center stack condominium located in the center portion of the exclusive Villa del Mare, is listed for $12 million. It is one of the most luxurious condominiums in the best location on Fisher Island. The Jills are representing the seller for both properties.
Both the Whitehall Mansion and 7213 Fisher Island Drive were previously caught in litigation between CDR Creances S.A.S., a French government agency, and the former property owners. The properties are part of a portfolio that was cleared for sale through action by the Florida Supreme Court in 2013.
Built in 1956, the Whitehall Mansion has allegedly been linked to JFK by gossip tabloids, which report that the president used it to rendezvous with Marilyn Monroe and other lovers. The house once belonged to a member of the Bee Gees, who hosted guests including a British prime minister.
The 13,637-square-foot home covers nearly two acres on a 73,480-square-foot lot, making it one of Miami Beach’s largest land areas. Providing breathtaking views of Biscayne Bay and the downtown Miami skyline, the property offers 200 feet of sparkling waterfront.
The epitome of luxury living, this secluded, illustrious estate features nine bedrooms and seven full bathrooms, plus one half bath. Boasting perfectly manicured lawns with majestic palms, the property’s endless lavish features include an elegant, custom-built 35- by 50-foot pool, yacht-ready dock with jet-ski lift, and private gated entry to the property.
The ground floor oceanfront condominium at 7213 Fisher Island Drive on Fisher Island, one of the most exclusive residential communities in the world, is listed for $12 million. The residence, boasting spectacular views and an expansive terrace, is located in the highly desired center stack, or center portion, of the luxurious Villa del Mare condominiums.
The luxurious residence, with 7,862 square feet (as per owner’s survey), and offering breathtaking direct views of the open ocean, Miami Beach and the parade of cruise ships passing through Government Cut, features five bedrooms, and six and one-half bathrooms. The spacious living room and private dining area directly access the 2,000-square-foot wraparound terrace, which features spectacular views.
“Both the Whitehall Mansion and 7213 Fisher Island Drive are in extraordinary, sought-after locations,” said Jill Eber of The Jills. “With these new prices, each property represents an amazing opportunity for buyers who are looking for the best.”
“Each unique and truly luxurious, the Whitehall Mansion and 7213 Fisher Island Drive are spectacular finds,” said Jill Hertzberg of The Jills. “We are very pleased to represent the seller of these properties.”
