On the market for the first time since the Portofino condo tower went up in 1997, this two-story condo in Miami Beach\u2019s trendy, affluent South of Fifth enclave offers a disco lounge and drop-dead 300-degree water and city vistas.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s like a townhouse in the sky,\u201d said listing agent Dora Puig, of Luxe Living Realty. \u201cIt\u2019s definitely Art Deco-inspired, sort of retro from the 1980s. It has never traded.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The seller was one of the first buyers in the 44-story Portofino Tower in South Beach, she said. \u201cThey chose that unit because it\u2019s literally the best stack on the 03 side, with a straight downtown shot.\u201d<\/p>\n
