UPWARD SPIRAL
when the couple who purchased this Coconut Grove, Florida, residence in 2016 moved to a more kid-friendly space, they opted to leave their Italian furnishings behind. That works out well for the future buyer, as the apartment was meticulously decorated from top to bottom by sought-after interiors guru Steven G.
The full-floor penthouse’s asking price is $24 million. That includes all the furniture, a 10,180-square-foot space, six bedrooms and seven and a half bathrooms. It’s located in Grove at Grand Bay, a development that was designed by architect Bjarke Ingels. Grove consists of two 22-story towers that spiral toward one another; the penthouse in our sights is in the southern spiral. That’s an important distinction, according to listing agent Angel Nicolas, because a Mr. C Residences just broke ground nearby and will eventually block the north tower’s view.
The home’s wrap-around terrace features a small outdoor pool that’s the only private one in the building. It’s a resistance pool with jets, so it’s great for both getting in a few laps and relaxing, hot-tub style. A wine cellar offers temperature-controlled storage, and two offices can be converted into additional bedrooms if work-from-home spaces aren’t needed.
Resident perks include access to Grove at Grand Bay’s amenity suite: a gym, rooftop pool, on-site art gallery, a club room and two spas—a 1,700-square-foot one for you, a smaller one for your pet.
Best of all, since the space comes fully furnished, you can move in and be unwinding with a bottle in front of Netflix in no time. “It makes it easier for the buyer,” says Nicolas. “All they have to do is bring their toothbrush.”
