Icon Brickell APT 4101 is a corner-unit that that offers 180+ degrees of ocean views and ceilings so tall you’ll need scaffolding to change a lightbulb. The 55-foot long balcony is great for sunrise coffee or casual walks if you’re just shy of your daily step count. The unit was recently fully-renovated and the 3-br was thoughtfully converted into a 2-br to create the largest living room in all of Brickell. Amenities include a fitness center and the largest residential pool in the US, not to be confused with the ocean. The world-class spa is a great place to relax and enjoy your mortgage. Long gone are the days living above 7-Eleven as the building is home to some of the finest restaurants in Miami such as Cantina La Veinte, Cipriani, The Living Room, and CÉ LA VI.
