Albert Pallot Park, which has a playground and walking trails that run along the edge of Biscayne Bay, is 15 minutes away on foot.

Indoors: This duplex’s front door opens to the main level, with the kitchen closer to the door and the sitting area at the far end of the space. Windows face the building’s courtyard and pool area, and sliding-glass doors open to one of three terraces. The ceilings are concrete and the floors are ceramic tile.

The kitchen also has terrace access and can hold a dining table. It has stainless steel appliances by Sub-Zero and Bosch, including a range with an electric cooktop. A powder room is nearby, as are stairs to the second floor.

There are two large en suite bedrooms, either of which could be considered the primary. The first-floor bedroom can fit a king-size bed and has several closets and floor-to-ceiling windows that look out over another terrace. Its bathroom has a shower and a deep soaking tub.

Upstairs is a lofted space used as a den, with access to the second bedroom suite, also large enough for a king-size bed. The attached bathroom has the same porcelain-and-chrome tub as the one downstairs, as well as access to a private outdoor terrace.
