$4.2M downtown Miami loft a great spot for collectors

Now that you’ve bought the perfect pieces at Art Basel, you’ll be needing a home in which to display them — and this $4.2 million luxury loft in downtown Miami would be a great palette for any art collector.

The 7,110-square-foot tri-level unit has five bedrooms and five baths. It’s in a six-story building called Parc Lofts, which consists of 72 loft-style units, and is at 1749 N.E. Miami Court.

“Parc Lofts is about as authentic a loft-style building as you can find in Miami,” said Alison Zhuk, a real estate agent with Douglas Elliman Real Estate in Miami Beach, who holds the listing. “It really appeals to a buyer who’s in touch with their urban sensibility but who doesn’t want to compromise on

luxury and modern amenities.”

Features of the industrial-style unit, which has brick walls and exposed pipes and ducts, include dark oak hardwood floors, smart home technology and a top-of-the-line open kitchen with soapstone countertops, double Wolf ovens and a Sub-Zero refrigerator and wine coolers.

A private master bedroom on the top floor boasts spacious walk-in closets, double vanity sinks in the bathroom and enough room for a seating area or home office. The unit also has soaring 22-foot ceilings with plenty of open space to display art.

“The current owners are avid art collectors and have been able to utilize the space to showcase the investments they’ve made over the years in all sorts of media,” Zhuk said.

“The unit might even be a good choice for an actual artist, as a home and studio, to live there, work and showcase their work within their home, because there’s certainly enough space to do so.”

Building amenities at Parc Lofts, which is in Miami’s Arts and Entertainment District and was completed in 2005, include a 24-hour concierge, a fitness center, swimming pool, hot tub and lushly landscaped sundeck.
