A rare opportunity to acquire one of Miami Beach’s most historically significant residences: a 1939 estate on guard-gated Sunset Island No. II. One of the first four homes built on Sunset Island No. II and designed by architect Arthur Laidler-Jones, visionary behind Casa Casuarina, later known worldwide as the Versace Mansion, this estate retains many original architectural features and is ideally positioned with a front yard facing a park and a private walled backyard. So architecturally distinguished upon completion, the home was commissioned for photography by Gottscho-Schleisner, Inc., America’s preeminent architectural photography firm of the era. Those images are preserved in the permanent collection of the Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division. Few Miami Beach residences carry such documented provenance. Set on a 100 x 125-foot lot, one of only 102 dry-lot parcels on the Sunset Islands, the home offers 3,952 square feet with four bedrooms and four and a half baths. Treasured by the same family for nearly 50 years, the residence reflects the enduring quality of Laidler-Jones’ design. Whether preserved as a landmark historic home or reimagined as a new architectural statement, 2535 Sunset Drive presents a once-in-a-generation opportunity. Minutes from Sunset Harbour, Lincoln Road, and South Beach, yet tucked behind the 24-hour guarded gates of Sunset Islands No.’s I and II, it offers privacy, prestige, and timeless Art Deco character.
