About a month later, records show they sold the property for $14 million to an LLC registered to Austrian businesswoman Nicola Januschke-Bleicher, who went ahead with Karp\u2019s design. Karp worked alongside the European design firm AED Planung on the interiors and overall look, keeping things clean, modern, and understated so the setting could do most of the work.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"c-lazy-image__img lrv-u-background-color-grey-lightest lrv-u-width-100p lrv-u-display-block lrv-u-height-auto\" src=\"https:\/\/robbreport.com\/wp-content\/themes\/pmc-robbreport-2017-v2\/assets\/public\/lazyload-fallback.gif\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/375-N-Hibiscus-Drive-11.jpg\" alt=\"kobi karp hibiscus island miami home\" data-lazy- data-lazy- height=\"800\" width=\"1200\" decoding=\"async\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\tThe primary bedroom has wide water views through floor-to-ceiling glass doors.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJose Lopez\/Immersive Media Solutions; ONE Sotheby\u2019s International Realty<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe main floor is essentially one large open space, with the kitchen, dining area, and living room arranged around a contemporary palette of pale stone floors, white walls, and dark wood cabinetry.
