GRAND ENTRANCE to ALI SUL MARE
When your guests enter your Penthouse, you will welcome
them into the entrance foyer decorated with four splendid
Corinthian columns.
They will admire the 16-point navigational star on the floor
with embedded marble and brass.
Above them is a delicate silk lamp imported from Venice
within a vaulted ceiling.
The eye takes them on to an art gallery in a promenade that
frames something very dramatic: a sculpture of St. Michael
the Archangel.
This large bronze with his wings spread wide out inspires the
name of the penthouse: Ali Sul Mare (Italian for Wings Over
the Sea).
SHOWS BIG. GREAT ENTERTAINMENT SPACE.
This penthouse was
completely gutted and
rebuilt by acclaimed
interior designer,
Annabella Buchelli. It
is a masterpiece of
architecture and design
- totally unique and
exquisite.
The space was very
cleverly redesigned by
moving the kitchen,
moving the second
bedroom, expanding
and reconfiguring the
living/dining room. As
a result more than 50
feet of floor to ceiling,
wall to wall windows
are seen from the living
room. Additional design
reconfiguration was
done to create a unique
master suite including a
romantic bedroom, a
generous luxury
dressing room, and a
very unique bathroom.
This penthouse is very spacious for a two bedroom, two and a half bath at 1,635 square feet (152 square meters). There is also a comfortable
terrace of 129 sq. ft. (12 sq. m.). All in all, there is 1,763 sq. ft. (164 sq. m.). Like most penthouses, the ceilings are high (about 9 feet or 2,75 m.)
and the windows are floor to ceiling, wall to wall, with amazing views.
Like in other grand and well-designed places, the view is unveiled
slowly. After your guests admire the beautiful foyer, they then walk up
a couple of steps into the elevated art gallery.
Next, they see the sculpture and then step down into the living room
and dining room to finally see the broad 180 degree view: the beach on
the right; the Ritz-Carlton and the Delano in the center; and Biscayne
Bay on the left. They can admire the Jackie Gleason Theater and the
New World Center with it’s gigantic outdoor screen, where you can
see the movies they are showing right from the terrace.
After they are overtaken by the view, allow them to take some time to
observe the details and quality seen throughout the penthouse: the coral
keystone from the Keys that surround the doors and ceiling; the brass
inlays in the marble; the marble-on-marble inlays on luxurious 24 inch
squares of marble; the walls hand-painted by Fellini's set decorator; and
the warm fabrics of the lavish tapestries and drapes. The living room
expresses luxury with its over-sided L-shaped leather sofa with customdesigned bilevel coffee table. This amount of detail is not available in
penthouses of this price.
This penthouse is great for entertainment, as guests can circulate easily
between the library, living room, dining room, bar and terrace since
each room has more than one entrance. The art gallery is raised a couple
of steps providing a platform if you have a speaker for events. You will
have no problems fitting 50 or so people in the space. On one occasion
there were more than 100 guests here. This space has been used to host a US Senator as well as a famous Congresswoman.
Enjoy high-fidelity music as you entertain with a top-of-the-line system of Magnepan flat speakers, a Conrad-Johnson tube pre-amplifier, and two
Outlaw amplifiers (all included in the sale).
DINING IN STYLE
Dinner for up to eight is set in a spacious dining room with the illumination of the Ritz-Carlton, the Delano, the National, the Ritz Plaza and the
bridges of Biscayne Bay as your background. The intimate dining lighting is provided by an alabaster chandelier with matching sconces imported
from Spain. Since the view includes much more than just the ocean, your guests won't be looking out into the empty dark at night.
The unique kitchen, with elegant
absolute black granite counter tops
and custom mahogany cabinets, also
serves as a bar. It does this so well,
that some guests do not know that it
is actually the kitchen.
It is a great space for your bartender and
caterers while entertaining with a
convenient service entrance. And cooking
at home is a pleasure in this kitchen, with
ample cabinets and the right flow. Plus it
has an ocean view!
YOUR PERSONAL OASIS
Connected to the living room via double doors is the extraordinary mahogany library with its own private bath, also in mahogany. This library is
spacious, yet intimate, and because of its diversity in design, it can be used as a sitting area, overflowing dining room, second or guest bedroom, or
a home office.
It has a hand painted cove ceiling with gold leaf accents. A built in desk with file cabinets
and an electronics station hidden behind cabinet doors make this an ample work station.
The library's bathroom is very luxurious. While it may look like a powder room, it does
include a concealed shower made entirely of absolute black granite from floor to ceiling.
YOUR OVERNIGHT GUESTS
You can easily accommodate a couple of guests overnight. Whether they are
coming to stay with you for a few days or just one night because they don’t want
to drive back home after a great night on the town, they will appreciate the privacy
afforded by an ensuite bathroom.
The library has a convertible sofa and has dedicated built in closets, ample to
accommodate overnight guests.
MORE SPACES
The powder room is simply
charming, unique in its character,
and is well-located away from the
main entertainment areas for more
privacy.
It is accessed through an elegant
side foyer that serves as an
antechamber.
Another unique thing at this price:
you can control all the lights
electronically creating multiple
scenes at the press of a button.
Ready for dinner? Just push a
button and all the lights in the
living room, dining room and
kitchen change to the proper
intensity for a romantic dinner.
Want to show a photo album after
dinner? A push of a button brings
all the lights up at once. When
leaving, you can turn off all lights
at once right at the door without
worrying something in a back
room was left on.
From the living room your guests can go to the terrace
for fresh air or a smoke. This penthouse has always
been non-smoking inside. Similarly, it has never been
rented, though the building allows monthly rentals for
your convenience if you choose to rent.
The terrace is great for a quick lunch or a drink at night. It is
worth noting that it is completely private from the view of
any of the other neighbors in the building. The terrace is
accessible from both the living room and the master
bedroom.
YOUR INTIMATE SPACE
This penthouse home is ideally sized to serve as your pied-a-terre or as your primary
residence. In either case, it provides not only a great entertainment space with an amazing
library, but also a grand master bedroom. When you are ready to retire for the night, or for a
siesta in the afternoon, open another set of mahogany double doors.
Beyond those doors,
you see the bed
surrounded by doric
columns, dramatic
shears, and a romantic
painting of part of a
famous Italian
sculpture --- custom
painted especially for
this space by artist
Joseph Regan.
From the master bedroom you can enter the elegant dressing
room dominated by an inviting Jacuzzi for two. From this bath,
enjoy a gorgeous ocean view in the daytime, or a view of the
city's several landmark hotel towers at night. The perfect lighting
for a spa-like experience, or for a romantic interlude, is just a
single button away.
The master bathroom is incorporate in the dressing room. It is
equipped with double under-mount sinks in a marble counter top,
a built in dresser, several built in cabinets, an over-sized shower,
and a private toilet room. A washer and dryer is conveniently
situated behind yet another set of double doors.
THE BUILDING
The Decoplage feels like a resort, with a large beachfront pool
located high enough to get an ideal view of the beach. Relax there
with high-quality lounge chairs. The attendant will help you with
any needs you may have.
Next to the pool, there is a gym, with top of the line equipment and
a great view into the pool area and the ocean beyond.
The building is secured with staff that roams the property and welcomes and
registers your guests at the front desk, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
The whole building has discrete cameras in all corridors with video
recording which is saved and stored. The penthouse floor is additionally
secured with a dedicated elevator key required to access it.
The building has valet parking. The company has been with the building for
over 15 years. They know the owners very well and know how to welcome
and treat VIP guests.
This penthouse comes with two very well located covered parking spaces if you want to self park your cars. In addition, there is space for valet
parking for one car for the owner at no charge. With a modest charge, your guests can park in valet when visiting you.
The penthouse floor is designed luxuriously as well. Since the corridors and lobby were designed by Anabella Bucheli, who also designed this
penthouse, you can appreciate the harmony of the two spaces. This private penthouse floor can only be accessed by keyed elevators.
FACTS ABOUT THIS PENTHOUSE
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Two bedrooms (a master and a library), two ensuite baths and a powder room.
Two covered, assigned parking spaces plus one valet space (valet parking at a modest charge available for your guests). If you want, you
can rent your assigned spaces to other building residents for about $120/month each space.
Square footage (per tax appraiser): 1,490 sq. ft. (138.43 sq. meters).
Square footage measured: 1,635 (152 sq. m.). Adding the terrace, the total is 1,763 sq. Ft. (164 sq. m.)
Monthly maintenance is $1,217.27 per month, which includes:
- Building insurance for hurricanes and flooding (you need to get your own insurance for contents).
- Basic cable TV
- Hot and cold water
- A/C chilled water (you only pay for electricity for the fan inside the unit, not the chiller). Keeping the A/C running all the time (even
when not there), the total cost of electricity is around $75 to $100 a month.
In addition, there is an ongoing special assessment of $548.29 per month until July 2014 that paid for the new pool, gym, and concrete
restoration among other projects.
The owner has chosen to never rent his penthouse, and he has constantly maintained it in mint condition, which is why it still looks new.

Penthouses: In real estate, penthouses are rare, and they are for individuals who value uniqueness. The
Decoplage penthouses are well-regarded, yet still under priced considering their quality.
Maintenance: Compare the monthly maintenance fees with other buildings. In the Decoplage, the cost of water,
cable and the chilling for A/C are included (which in Florida should be always on to prevent mold, even when
you are not there). This makes maintenance here relatively low.
