Shakira’s Miami Beach Contemporary Home Renovated And On The Market

in Real Estate June 11, 2018 0

Never a dull moment for pop superstar and television’s “The Voice” judge, Shakira.

Seen in Miami in March, possibly checking out the chic renovation plan on her Miami Beach residence; back to Spain, which she considers her home base; and, two days after, putting her Miami Beach estate on the market; then off to Hamburg, Germany to kick off her El Dorado world tour, family and team in tow. In August, she will bring the tour to America — Chicago being the first stop.

Shakira lives in Barcelona with her partner, Spanish soccer star, Gerard Piqué, and their two sons. Now 41, she has received, three Grammy Awards, 13 Latin Grammy Awards, seven Billboard Music Awards, has been Golden Globe nominated and has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

She is also heavily involved in philanthropic activities, through charity work and charity concerts. In addition to her charity work and being a mom, Shakira was a coach on NBC’s “The Voice” for the 2012 and 2014 seasons.

As with many young Latino stars, Shakira moved to Miami in the late 1990s, buying a house in 2001, at the edge of Biscayne Bay for $3.38 million. Making Spain her home for many years, she recently did an extensive modern update to her Miami Beach waterfront home and has put it on the market.

The 8,708-square-foot home overlooks Miami’s waterfront skyline and lights of the Julia Tuttle Causeway, with more than 100 feet of water frontage, a private dock and ocean access at Government Cut or Haulover Inlet.

The six-bedroom, eight-bath, two-story home sits on a half-acre lot, only two blocks from the Miami Golf Club greens and a few more blocks to the Atlantic Ocean and Miami Beach’s luxury condos.

Located on a street, where many celebrities, including Matt Damon, Cher, Billy Joel and Jennifer Lopez once lived, Shakira has completely renovated the two-story house into a Zen oasis, with light, hardwood floors throughout, an updated kitchen with high-end appliances, and home gym, where specialty flooring for dancing was added when she purchased the property.

It has a fireplace for the rare chilly night and an attached two-car garage framed by crimson bougainvillea. Rooms are large and airy and filled with sunlight, and there is a low profile “hookah” lounge area in the entertainment wing.

After purchasing the home, Shakira added a wooden deck around the pool area, with open-air dining pavilion with built-in bar and an entire three-bedroom wing, measuring 1,663 square feet. Surrounded by tall, security hedges and an iron entry gate, the property meets all the privacy requirements sought by celebrities.

Live Miami Beach-style on a street chosen by many celebrities in an estate being sold by Colombian super songstress, Shakira. Priced at $11.648 million, the listing agents are Antonio Mebarak and Ana Lourdes Martinez of Douglas Elliman Real Estate, in Miami Beach.
