A Coconut Grove penthouse with a private rooftop pool is on the market for $23.5 million, Gimme Shelter has learned.

At close to 7,000 square feet, the penthouse, which is the largest of 10 penthouse duplexes in the building, overlooks Biscayne Bay. Inside, the home has a fully indoor-outdoor feel — thanks to floor-to-ceiling retractable glass walls.

The lofty aerie opens to a private elevator that leads to a large foyer. There’s also a great room with 11-foot-high ceilings and the retractable glass walls. Design details include a chef’s kitchen, frameless Barausse doors and an integrated smart-wired home system. The great room, with 11-foot ceilings, and plenty of space for entertaining.

A main bedroom suite overlooks the bay and features a spa-like marble bath and double closets. The staircase leads to a 97-foot-long rooftop terrace with the pool, summer kitchen and multiple lounge areas framed by waterfront views. The 65-unit boutique building has seen almost $400 million in closings in less than 60 days, including multiple penthouse transactions above $15 million and $20 million, a building spokesperson said.

A formal dining room and retractable glass window walls that lead to the outdoor space. Vita’s resident amenities include a residents-only private bayfront pool, night-lit tennis, Pickle and Padel courts, a gym and spa, and membership to the Grove Isle Racquet and Yacht Club. A new Italian restaurant, La Sponda, will also be opening to the public later this summer, a spokesperson said. Outdoor space comes with serene water views.

The condo building project was not without controversy. Island residents fought the city of Miami for 10 years, alleging that the building, which blocks some other condo owners’ views,by granting building permits even though the property was never platted, or mapped and subdivided in accordance with city code, and that the building breaches a 1977 covenant that capped residential units on Grove Isle at 575 — a limit Vita pushes to 589.

“The island is split on the project. If your views are blocked, that sucks for you. But that’s real estate. Other people are so happy,” a source said, adding that the developer has made some upgrades to the island’s amenities — where nothing new has been built since three 18-story condo towers rose in the late ’70s.
