The Only Private Home on Ocean Drive in Miami Beach
Called ‘The Beach House’, 222 Ocean Drive is the only single family home that exists on world-famous Ocean Drive in South Beach…and it’s not only on Ocean Drive, but it’s also in the amazing ‘South of Fifth’ neighborhood, my favorite neighborhood in Miami Beach. There is literally nothing like this home, anywhere. It’s DIRECTLY across the street from the Atlantic Ocean and it’s hidden in plain sight in the epicenter of one of the most famous streets in North America. 222 Ocean Drive is literally steps away from the best restaurants in Miami and one of the best beaches in the World. The home is currently owned by Shareef Malnik, owner of ‘The Forge’ restaurant in Miami Beach.
222 Ocean Drive has 7,050 SF of pristine living space, and easily bests the style of Calvin Klein’s Miami Beach house that I wrote about a few months ago. The Beach House was originally constructed in 1930, and was totally renovated in 2014 by Briggs Edward Solomon. Briggs Edward Solomon specializes in calm, earthy, organic design, which my readers are probably aware, is one of my favorite design styles. The craziness of South Beach can only be tamed with an interior design style such as this. We all want a zen-like retreat to escape the South Beach lifestyle!
222 Ocean Drive has 4 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, a beautiful minimalist fireplace, a 2 car garage, walk-in wine vault, a home theatre, a private pool on the roof, a sun deck, a summer kitchen, and some architecturally stunning features such as the central staircase (see photos below!). The flooring is 11″ Wide Oscar Ono rustic wood planks throughout the home. The kitchen features Miele, Subzero and Viking appliances with white quartz counters. The entire home is automated with touchpad controls by Crestron.
