Danish tennis professional Caroline Wozniacki and former NBA player David Lee have listed their Fisher Island penthouse, which is currently one of the most exclusive listings in South Florida.
The penthouse, located on the census-designated island in the Miami metropolitan area, has the highest per capita income of any place in the United States and is off-limits to non-residents. Oprah Winfrey, Mel Brooks, Julia Roberts, and Andre Agassi are among the other celebrities who often disconnect from the mainland and call this zip code home.
Located atop the Mediterranean-inspired Palazzo Del Sol, the penthouse qualifies as one of the world's best homes. Designed by local architect Kobi Karp, the unit boasts 7,000 square feet of living space, complemented by 5,000 square feet of expansive terraces with waterfront views.
When we consider its prestige, it's perhaps unsurprising that the penthouse's interiors epitomize Miami glamor – from its draped chandeliers and sleek marble paneling. However, some decorating quirks tap into the quiet luxury aesthetic dominating design discussions.
Stand-out features include the beautiful neutral color palette, organic wooden furnishings, and earthy materials in the kitchen.
Designed for entertaining (if guests can make it to Fisher Island, that is), the property features multiple social areas, including a bayfront bar, TV room, and formal dining room. The marble kitchen is just as noteworthy, comprising Gagganeau kitchen displays a dine-in marble island, wine wall, and an Art Deco detailed hood.
Additional highlights include a statement wine wall and a media room with a Bang & Olufsen sound system. Smart home technology controls the retractable glass doors that open to a terrace with a fire pit and hot tub for cooler Miami nights.
Outside, the sprawling rooftop steals the show with a private pool, summer kitchen, and uninterruptible vistas of Biscayne Bay and the Miami skyline.
The Palazzo Del Sol building has a range of amenities of its own, including private massage rooms, a series of pools (with poolside cabanas), a modern movie theater, and meeting rooms.
Caroline and David, who have two children, purchased the penthouse in 2021 for $18.7 million after owning a different unit on a lower floor. According to People, they will have more than doubled the value of the home in just three years (should they receive the asking price).
Knight Frank and Douglas Elliman currently hold the $42.5 million listing.
