Michael Jordan’s architect designed this $40 million chic Miami villa

North Bay Road is one of Miami Beach’s most sought-after waterfront communities. The exclusive neighborhood is often considered one of the wealthiest residential areas in all of Miami. Many of the lavish waterfront estates, some of which have fetched up to $80 million, overlook Biscayne Bay.

If you want to buy into this stellar community, now’s your chance. Located at 5004 North Bay Road, this property is currently listed for a smidge under $40 million and spans nearly 13,000 square feet. The eight-bedroom home was designed by Zeb Jarosz, a renowned architect who has designed Miami-area properties for celebrities like Matt Damon, Dan Marino, and Michael Jordan. Jarosz designed the NBA legend’s 40,000-square-foot mansion in JupiterJupiter -7.4%, Florida.

The home was previously owned by Chicken Kitchen founder, Christian de Berdouare, but is being sold by Vinnijarvi Florida Limited Partnership tied to Stalin Bharti, founder of merchant bank Forbes & Manhattan. Notable figures who have stayed at the Miami home include the cast of The Real Housewives of New York. It’s also rumored that A-list actors Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Cruise have stayed there.

It’s easy to see the luxury appeal. Perched along 103 feet of coveted waterfront, the home benefits from views of the Miami Design District and 3.5 miles across Biscayne Bay. It was designed by New York-based Jennifer Post Design and landscape architect Raymond Jungles. The bright and airy interiors were designed with 14-foot-high ceilings on the ground floor and 11-foot-high ceilings on the second floor. The stark-white interiors are offset with black steel window accents, museum-quality lighting, and high-quality marble and stone on some of the interior walls. It’s primed for a colorful contemporary art collection, which the current owner took advantage of.

The home is lined with floor-to-ceiling windows offering views of the water. The main level includes an airy living room with a double-sided fireplace; oversized kitchen with a prep island, eat-in island, and custom backlit cabinetry; a formal dining area; and an internal courtyard. The open sky atrium, or internal courtyard, has a vertical garden at the center of the home and also allows for natural light to flood the space.

The entire first floor has sliding glass so you can open directly onto the patio, where there is a covered outdoor kitchen, al fresco dining area, pool, lawn space, and a dock. You can access the second floor via the glass-enclosed elevator or the floating staircase. Upstairs is where you’ll find the primary suite, the crown jewel of the home. Like its own private apartment, the spacious bedroom has two walk-in closets, dressing room, and a private terrace with sliding glass doors and windows that fold back for seamless outdoor access. The stark-white spa-like bathroom is swathed in marble and has a bathtub honed from a single slab of marble.

One of the home’s best features is the rooftop pool, surrounded by ample deck space with views over Biscayne Bay. This is one of very few rooftop pools in all of Miami. The home is listed with Bill Hernandez and Bryan Sereny of the Bill and Bryan Team at Douglas Elliman.
