beachfront residence meets wellness retreat
at glorious 4513 South Ocean in highland beach.
Welcome to Your
Live-Forever Home
Buildings, being permanent objects, are designed for the future.
While we expect an edifice to stand for a lifetime or two, it’s not often that a home thinks about the future of the people who inhabit it.
But things are different in South Florida, where it seems a bit of the Fountain of Youth has seeped into the water supply. Residents and relocators do not come to hide away, but to live life to its fullest — and to its healthiest. They seek the sunshine, yes, but also the invigoration of the tropical breeze, the soul-expanding enchantment of an Atlantic sunrise, and a life (and lifestyle) full of the amenities of health and happiness.
VIEW LISTING
The homes at 4513 South Ocean — available singly or as a pair, with completion in early 2021 — are the manifestations of this quest for rejuvenation. They are a pair of gems in a precious island setting, and like twin Philosopher’s Stones they hold the promise of eternal life — or something very close to it.
That promise begins, as it must, in the salt of the Atlantic Ocean. Its blue waves kiss the white sand of the barrier island that supports some of the most exclusive communities in the world, but here the earth rises higher. This stretch of beachside is part of Highland Beach, which rises above the sea nearly two dozen feet, offering both security from storms and superior views.
These two homes, each of nearly 11,000 square feet, climb in four stories above the island, with a generous three-bay garage (for up to six cars) at the bottom. Each private lobby includes an elevator which delivers residents to the higher levels, while a wide staircase welcomes guests to a beautiful entryway. On the first floor, great, airy living areas offer stunning views of interior and exterior, as well as an outside area for entertaining a crowd around the stunning pool. The kitchen is the height of culinary technology, with appliances and storage to support a healthy (and perhaps occasionally decadent) dietary regimen.
Each home contains five luxurious bedroom suites
with walk-in closets and generous spa-like bathrooms, as well as a host of bonus rooms that can function as libraries, offices, or guestrooms. The master suite takes up the Atlantic-facing half of the second floor, with a light-filled bedroom that opens to a balcony half as large again. Massive closets and double bath suites complete this oasis above the ocean.
At the top, these homes fulfil their promise of eternal vigor, with an entire floor devoted to wellness, exercise, and relaxation. To the ocean, there is both an uncovered and covered balcony for unmatched views, and behind that a flexible area for family gathering. Beyond, there are spacious rooms for exercise and a full gym-spa experience, as well as a longevity room. This space, like any good wellness treatment, will be personalized to the buyer, and will hold the most specialized facets of a health journey — from infrared spa to barometric chamber to a favorite variety of steam room or sauna.
While the top floor is the apex of healthy living, a proper Florida lifestyle begins in the natural world. Each residence has its own staircase that rises from
the wide sands that border the cerulean waters. The steps climb those two dozen feet to a landscaped lawn, where a generous pool and spa serve as the outdoor centerpiece of the home. Everywhere, patios and balconies are integrated into the structure, so that there’s always a place in the sun, or in the shade.
The main structures stand completed now, but these homes are looking for lives to fill them. A pre-finish purchase will offer an amazing level of customization within the floor plan, particularly in the integrated wellness aspects. The homes at 4513 South Ocean promise more than mere South Florida lifestyle — they promise a bit more of South Florida life.
Each residence boasts a private pool and beach access, along with garage space for up to half a dozen vehicles.
Both properties enjoy a rare elevation—exceptionally high for South Florida—that further dramatizes the views.
High-fashion kitchens, outfitted with oversized islands and counter seating, anchor open-plan living space on the lower levels.
By the current timeline, you'll be able to pull up to
the completed homes by Spring 2021.
