This stunning 15-foot-wide masterpiece offers over 3,400 square feet of beautifully designed living space across four spacious levels. A massive rooftop deck boasts panoramic views of the harbor, city skyline, and the iconic Domino Sugar factory—perfect for enjoying Fourth of July fireworks.

The sun-drenched main level showcases soaring ceilings, exposed brick, rich wood flooring, and meticulous finishes. The gourmet kitchen is a chef’s dream, featuring a brand-new commercial-grade gas stove, stainless steel appliances, slate countertops, a breakfast bar, and a walk-in pantry with a wine fridge and bar area—all conveniently located next to a stylish powder room. The second floor includes two generously sized bedrooms and two full bathrooms, highlighted by creative design touches like exposed beams, ductwork, and reclaimed wood trim. The entire top floor is dedicated to a luxurious owner’s suite, complete with a spacious bedroom, full bath, dressing area with built-ins, and a wet bar/coffee station that opens onto the lower rooftop deck. A standout feature is the finished lower level, ideal for a family room, playroom, home office, or guest area. It also includes laundry (and an additional laundry hook up on 2nd level), ample storage, and updated mechanical systems including a brand-new HVAC and water heater. The home is fully equipped with wired sound and security systems, features smart home technology that can be controlled remotely, and includes a brand-new roof. The parking pad can fit one large car or two smaller cars.
