Art curator Ximena Caminos asks $7.7M for wonderfully colorful Miami Beach penthouse

A Miami Beach penthouse owned and designed by art curator Ximena Caminos, the former partner of Argentine hotelier and real estate developer Alan Faena, has just hit the market for $7.7 million.

Caminos, founder of Faena Art, is also the founder of the ReefLine, a proposed 7-mile-long underwater public sculpture park, snorkel trail and “purpose-built” reef just 600 feet off Miami Beach’s shoreline.

The four-bedroom, 4½-bathroom home comes with a 3,500-square-foot rooftop “sky bar.” It’s located at the Caribbean, 3739 Collins Ave., which was designed by architect L. Murray Dixon and built in 1941.

The entire penthouse — two units purchased separately for a total of $4.25 million — were combined and renovated by Caminos, with “architectural consulting” by Galia Solomonoff of SAS/Solomonoff Architecture Studio.

The 3,357-square-foot residence comes with ocean views and chic interiors including vintage furniture, art and hand-painted murals by the Argentine artist Augusto Falopapas.

Design details include multiple balconies, 11-foot-high ceilings and floor-to-ceiling glass doors.

The main bedroom comes with an ensuite spa-like bath, and with a second bedroom repurposed as a custom closet. There’s also a hidden chef’s kitchen designed with pink onyx “to feel more like a bar,” according to the listing from Compass broker Nancy Batchelor.

Art and furnishings are also available for purchase separately, she added.

Outside, the rooftop terrace features a kitchen with a stone bar, a pergola and multiple lounging areas overlooking the beach and the ocean.

Building amenities include a beach and pool service, a concierge, a wine cellar and a gym.
