A palatial new penthouse in Fort Lauderdale, FL<\/a>, has hit the market for $20.55 million, making it the highest-priced<\/a> condominium currently available in the coastal city<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A 10,145-square-foot residence achieved by combining two units<\/a>, the Selestial Penthouse at Selene is touted as a “full-floor oceanfront estate in the sky<\/a>” and has six bedrooms, eight full bathrooms, and two powder rooms.<\/p>\n

Ad\u017eem calls the opportunity to own a residence of this condo’s size “extraordinarily rare,” especially given its breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean, Intracoastal Waterway, and the yacht-lined coastline of Fort Lauderdale.<\/p>\n

“As the caliber of residential offerings continues to rise, Fort Lauderdale is establishing itself as one of South Florida’s most compelling destinations for luxury real estate,” she adds.<\/p>\n

The home occupies the entire 26th floor of the East Tower of Selene Fort Lauderdale, a contemporary two-tower residential building designed by architect <\/a>Kobi Karp<\/a>, with interiors by Steven G.<\/p>\n

With a floor plan boasting distinct private wings, the residence is also well-suited for multigenerational living.<\/p>\n

It’s equipped with Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances and Cristallo quartzite, which runs along the counters, full-height seamless backsplash, and oversized waterfall kitchen island.<\/p>\n

Steps away, a wet bar is finished in the same gorgeous stone. There’s also a study\u2014defined by custom millwork\u2014that the listing notes could be used for a striking office or a place to host a curated wine collection.<\/p>\n

The primary suite is a relaxing retreat, with sliding glass doors opening to a terrace. The room has not one, but two walk-in closets.<\/p>\n

The primary suite’s spalike bathroom truly feels like a vacation. The frameless rain shower is surrounded by glass windows, providing the chance to soak in the gorgeous Florida coast from the comfort of one’s own getting-ready routine.

A resort-style pool area sits on an elevated deck above the beach, with two pools, a 75-foot lap lane, cabanas and daybeds to lounge in, a pavilion-shaded pool bar, and fire pits to enjoy at night.<\/p>\n

Inside, clubrooms featuring a billiard room, simulated video experience for golf enthusiasts, and a screening theater serve as an entertaining way to spend an evening, while a double-height fitness center ensures residents have all they need at their fingertips.<\/p>\n

There’s even an event terrace equipped with a large communal dining table and a catering kitchen, should a resident desire to host a private gathering outside of the walls of their dwelling.<\/p>\n

The Selene has around-the-clock concierge service, valet parking, and an attentive on-site management staff. The penthouse comes with four dedicated parking spaces in the garage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A palatial new penthouse in Fort Lauderdale, FL, has hit the market for $20.55 million, making it the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":445591,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[249,251,250],"class_list":["post-445590","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-fort-lauderdale","tag-fort-lauderdale","tag-fort-lauderdale-headlines","tag-fort-lauderdale-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/445590","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=445590"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/445590\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/445591"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=445590"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=445590"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=445590"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
