Tucked away on one of Miami Beach’s most sought after locations, San Marino Island off the Venetian Causeway, is one of South Florida’s most interesting homes. Designed and built by French design superstar, Eric Korchia, Villa Casa D'Azzurro is the first Belle Époque, turn-of-the-century-style home drenched in historical design to be built in Florida, which also holds the surprise of a sleek modern interior.

Constructed in 2009, with the approach of the Miami Art Basel Exhibition, Korchia offered his newly constructed Belle Epoque Villa to colleague and friend, artist Jean Louis Simeray, for an exhibition during Art Basel. Jean Louis created a major fresco and a dozen smaller accompanying abstract paintings for the Villa. He chose as his theme Chinese cherry trees. The frescos provide a focal point in the Villa that flows through the two-story grand foyer, featured in multiple design publications.

The 4,800-square-foot residence opens to the second floor seen through clear glass railings and has five bedrooms, including two master suites that have his-and-her dressing rooms, private balconies and seven total baths. The pièce de résistance is in the 2,500-square-foot rooftop solarium with panoramic views of Biscayne Bay, an infinity-edge waterfall, marble Jacuzzi, bar and outdoor kitchen. The light-filled, clean-lined interior has white Carrara marble and Brazilian wood flooring throughout, Venetian plaster walls and a gourmet designer kitchen. At ground level is an antique white marble terrace with built-in misting system, waterfall fountain and 43-foot heated infinity pool with Badu Jet (swimming against the current) and chromotherapy.
