The hallway is dated. Everything else in this Brickell Key corner unit is not. In 2023 the owners flew to Europe and handpicked every material: a full Snaidero kitchen from Italy with Italian quartz and premium appliances, imported Italian porcelain floors, Swedish white-oak floors in the bedrooms, Italian stone in every bath, Italian pocket doors each signed by their maker, and a hand-laid Majolica tile terrace. Impact windows keep the interiors remarkably quiet while water and skyline views open from multiple angles Mornings start with coffee on the terrace as the bay catches first light, then a walk on the island's 1-mile waterfront path. As for the building, what matters most is its financial health: the 40-year recertification is complete, reserves are fully funded, the association reports no upcoming special assessments, and a full gym renovation is already budgeted. Documents are ready for your review before you make an offer. 2 beds, 2.5 baths, 1,377 sq ft of new-construction finishes with no pre-construction deposits and no waiting.
