\n\tWelcome to Ultimate Homes<\/a>, a new Robb Report video series in which host Mark Ellwood guides you through the most striking and luxurious homes on the prime market today. Whether it\u2019s a three-story condo in a New York high-rise or a sprawling oceanside estate on the cliffs of Malibu, we\u2019ll show you every room\u2014and amenity\u2014inside the world\u2019s most coveted addresses.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe suburban village of Pinecrest is known for quiet streets and manicured lawns, but this Miami<\/a> estate refuses to play it safe. Completed in 2022 by Portuondo Perotti Architects<\/a>, the delightfully eccentric 12,000-square-foot home is a modern love letter to Art Nouveau. Picture swirling curves, nature-inspired motifs, and whimsical flourishes straight out of Antoni Gaud\u00ed\u2019s Barcelona playbook.<\/p>\n

\n\tSitting on nearly two acres, the eight-bedroom and nine-bath dwelling\u2014previously on the market for $22.5 million\u2014is complemented by a four-car garage, a heated 60-foot lap pool with a circular spa, a tennis court, and even an outdoor basketball court for a little friendly competition. Custom gates shaped like insects\u2014a cheeky nod to the Art Nouveau movement\u2014open onto a 200-foot driveway flanked by a 107-foot water feature, each end guarded by sculpted Tritons.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\tThe great room has arched ceilings, oversized windows, floral chandeliers, and a circular stone fireplace.<\/p>\n

\n\tA coral stone paved courtyard leads to the egg-shaped arched entry, and, just inside, a grand staircase with a banister of fluted columns sweeps dramatically to the second floor. Powder rooms are playful surprises, featuring kaleidoscopic wallpaper and scalloped marble vanities\u2014a motif that pops up throughout the house.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe great room, scaled like the lobby of a boutique hotel, makes a statement with arched ceilings, oversized windows echoing the gates\u2019 curves, drooping floral light fixtures, and a circular carved-stone fireplace. For intimate evenings, the club room, with its carved wood wet bar and backlit display cases, is perfectly suited for cocktail hour.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\tDramatic and vibrant, the dining area combines striking wallpaper and ample guest seating.<\/p>\n

\n\tMealtime is equally theatrical in the oval dining room, with\u00a0vibrant floral wallpaper and\u00a0a bank of curved windows that provide a perfect sightline to an outdoor fountain. The French-country-inspired kitchen centers on olive-toned oak cabinetry, a turquoise La Cornue range, and three gleaming gold light fixtures. Nearby, a cozy den and library loft offer quiet nooks for reading\u2014or plotting your next soir\u00e9e.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\tOutdoors features a lap pool, spa, loggia with summer kitchen, and lush gardens.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe primary suite is a sanctuary of style, sporting herringbone-pattern Italian white oak floors, lush floral wallpaper, a turreted soaking tub, a double shower, imported Turkish marble sinks, and a balcony overlooking the gardens. Guest rooms vary in size, many with circular windows, while a children\u2019s playroom and creative studio round out the upper level.<\/p>\n

\n\tOutdoors, a double-height loggia with a full summer kitchen and floating columns with fluted detailing expands the living space, while formal French and English gardens, mature trees, and plush lawns provide privacy\u2014and plenty of room for a grand garden party.<\/p>\n
