Arvin Haddad embarks on a no-holds-barred critique of a Miami penthouse, scrutinizing its facade, layout, and design with the precision of a surgeon. Penthouse E, the star of the show, flaunts five bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms, and a price tag that could make your eyes water - a cool $14.5 million. As our fearless host ventures inside, the private foyer sets the stage, but the initial lack of a 'wow' factor raises eyebrows, hinting at possible age or refurbishment issues.
The interior reveals a mix of lounging areas, from a TV room to a formal sitting space, all under ceilings that may not quite reach the sky-high expectations of a modern penthouse. Amidst the greenery and floating benches, the balcony emerges as a standout feature, offering outdoor space rivaling that of a sprawling family home. The view? A Miami Beach spectacle that, while not a perfect ten, still manages to captivate with its cityscape and water vistas.
A hidden door leads to an office space that, while functional, falls short in the design department, lacking the seamless cohesion that could elevate the overall aesthetic. Transitioning to the kitchen, the floor's busy pattern draws criticism, but the presence of top-tier Gagenau appliances and a well-thought-out layout earn a nod of approval. The dining areas, from a built-in setup to a formal room with wine storage, showcase a blend of functionality and luxury. And let's not forget the staircase, strategically placed to invite natural light into the heart of the home, a touch that, while commendable, could benefit from a bit more flair.
