4/3 Rare find! Beautiful light and bright. New seawall, dock & roof. This is a Developer opportunity..Rent while you draw up plan. *****TEXT AGENT FOR VIDEO*********** Endless views. Prime living in North Bay Village. Sitting on the ultra-prestigious South Treasure Drive, this lot commands panoramic Miami skyline views and true direct ocean access. Not “bay views,” not “partial water.” Direct. Ocean. Access. Boaters know the difference and they pay for the difference. Inventory on this water line is basically extinct. Compared to a 2k sqft home on treasure drive asking approx $6,000,000 You’re not competing with listings you’re competing with time. Surrounded by trophy estates, ongoing luxury redevelopment, and values that are aggressively climbing, this is one of the last chances to plant your flag on a strip that’s about to explode even further. Hesitating puts someone wealthier, faster, and smarter. This is Miami’s next big flex and it’s sitting at 1500 S Treasure Drive.
