Parkfront Modern Sanctuary on Sunset Island II

THE RESIDENCE

Only a handful of homes on Sunset Island II enjoy a protected park directly across the street from their front door. If not waterfront, then you want to be Park-front.

2516 Sunset Drive pairs that rare setting with a thoroughly updated, move-in-ready interior designed for modern family living.

Uniquely positioned across from a lush green park, this KOBI KARP–designed residence is a rare find on coveted Sunset Island II. With its ivy-covered façade and orchid-laden palms, the home is as welcoming from the inside as it is striking from the outside — a true sanctuary in the heart of South Beach.

Thoughtfully updated and renovated for today’s lifestyle, the two-story home balances clean, contemporary design with warm, unpretentious comfort. An inviting entry foyer opens to airy, open-concept living and dining spaces filled with natural light and framed by views of the pool and lush backyard.

At the heart of the home lies a brand-new chef’s kitchen featuring custom stainless and walnut cabinetry, dual islands, Sub-Zero refrigeration, and double Wolf ovens. A Holly Hunt–inspired built-in wet bar connects the kitchen to the breakfast area and expansive family room, creating an effortless, circular flow for entertaining and everyday living.

Adjacent to the kitchen is a flexible den or playroom with a large cabana bath that also opens to the pool — ideal for children, guests, or relaxed weekends at home. Outside, the backyard feels like a private oasis: lush foliage wraps a sparkling pool and waterfall, with landscape lighting turning barbecue nights into an intimate, resort-like experience.

Upstairs, an elegant espresso-wood staircase leads to an expansive primary suite with a private balcony overlooking the pool, two generous walk-in closets, and a spa-inspired bath — a true retreat at the end of each day.

Three additional bedrooms complete the upper level: two connected by a Jack-and-Jill bath, and a third with its own ensuite and tranquil park views. A bright home office with a picture window over the park offers the perfect space for work, study, or creativity.

A fifth bedroom with ensuite bath and separate entry sits at the end of the first floor, offering flexibility for guests, a live-in nanny, or an independent teen. A well-appointed laundry room and a tiled, climate-controlled 2.5-car garage with Garage-Tek storage keep the home highly functional and organized.
