Chicken
Kitchen founder, Christian de Berdouare announce he is selling one of
the three waterfront homes he has amassed on Miami Beach’s North Bay
Road.
The
yet-to-be-completed, newly constructed home at 5004 North Bay Road is
on the market for $35.9 million. Named “Bakara Sesto Senso,” the
resort-style mansion features seven bedrooms and 10 bathrooms, with a
total living space of more than 17,000 square feet, including a nearly
3,500-square-foot, third floor, rooftop deck with infinity-edge pool,
said de Berdouare.
Due
to be finished in May, the home is being offered complete with
custom-built Italian furnishings. Mirce Curkoski of One Sotheby’s
International Realty has the listing.
“It
is really a one-of-a-kind home,” said Curkoski. “And whoever buys it
will be triumphal with the finishes and the quality and the flow of the
house.”
De
Berdouare bought his first home on North Bay Road in 1997, when he and
his wife, TV journalist Jennifer Valoppi, purchased 5750 North Bay Road.
In
September 2008, he bought 5004 for $3.1 million, property records show.
His plans were to tear down the existing property and build a new
mansion. De Berdouare, an architecture and design aficionado, said his
goal was to live in the new home while tearing down and rebuilding his
existing home at 5750 North Bay Road.
In
the meantime, de Berdouare was fortunate to sell a Chicken Kitchen
property he owned on Miami’s Brickell Avenue to developer Ugo Colombo
for $7 million. He used the proceeds from that to buy the house of the
late, notorious Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar, at 5860 North Bay. He
paid $9.8 million for it in May 2014.
The
newly listed home at 5004 North Bay Road was designed and built by
architect and contractor Zeb Jarosz, who has designed homes for Dan
Marino, Matt Damon and most recently, a 40,000-square-foot mansion for
Michael Jordan in Jupiter. The home’s interior designer is New
York-based Jennifer Post Design, and the landscape architect is Raymond
Jungles, de Berdouare said.
