Miami Design District Townhome at One Bay. One Bay is a small luxury townhome community with only 38 residences, tucked inside a lushly landscaped enclave east of Biscayne Boulevard and just a short walk to the Miami Design District. This 1,645 sq. ft. 2-bedroom townhome offers the rare combination of a private garage, direct-entry living, dramatic double-height windows, and an incredible 600 sq. ft. private rooftop terrace. The living room looks directly onto the lush, dense tree canopy of Bay Point, creating the feeling of looking into a private jungle while being in the heart of Miami. What makes One Bay special is that it lives much more like a single-family home than a typical condo. There are no elevators, no parking garages, and no long hallways. You park in your own private garage and walk directly into your own home. The community is quiet, residential, and mostly owner-occupied, with a much less transient feel than many Miami buildings. Monthly maintenance is only about $811, which is unheard of for a newer, high-end community in this location. One Bay offers privacy, low carrying costs, a true neighborhood feel, and an unbeatable location just steps from the Design District and minutes from Midtown, Wynwood, Downtown, Brickell, and Biscayne Bay.
