Extraordinary 1,196 SF lower penthouse at Cosmopolitan Residences in South of Fifth. This one-of-a-kind 2-bedroom, 2-bath residence features an oversized, lanai-style private patio, along with views toward the Atlantic Ocean and Government Cut from the interiors and balcony, offering a unique vantage point for watching passing cruise ships. Inside, a lavish Zen-French inspired renovation layers natural stone, warm woods, bamboo and bronze with original art, bespoke built-ins and distinctive design details. Featured in French design publication Hors-Série Décoration as “intérieurs de rêve,” (“dream interiors”) the residence is offered fully furnished and turn-key. Every element was individually selected, custom designed or meticulously assembled, from the furniture, artwork and curated décor to the lighting, high-end appliances and motorized window treatments. Far from a residence furnished from a showroom, the interiors were conceived as a complete composition, with materials, furnishings, art and décor thoughtfully brought together to create an aesthetic that feels both timeless and unmistakably original. Ideally located at the southern end of South of Fifth, moments from the beach, marina, dining and the neighborhood’s vibrant waterfront lifestyle.
