Property Story

53 Bird Island is designed by Canadian firm Kariouk Architects and is an ultra-modern canal front home in Vista Del Mar.

Occupying nearly half an acre in Vista Del Mar, this 5-bedroom, 7-bathroom home offers a generous 8,295 square feet of living space. The interior boasts home gym, library, office area, kids’ den, prep-kitchen pantry, home cinema, poker room and a secret speakeasy. The house is meticulously finished with top-quality fixtures and furnishings, including T&G solid wood ceilings, Italian-imported foot trusses, high-end Haiku fans, custom millwork, tempered glass railings, and luxury Fantini plumbing and lighting fixtures. The kitchen is equipped with Gaggenau appliances, and each room features high-end furniture from Edra, B&B Italia, Dedon, and Minotti. Modern conveniences include a Lutron automation system, custom automated blinds, security cameras, and Bluetooth locks.

Bird Island is located on a protected canal-front lot in Vista Del Mar, offering stunning water views from a large covered terrace that includes an outdoor kitchen. The property features 117 feet of water frontage, a heated in-ground saline pool, a jet ski dock, and a private outdoor shower off the master bedroom ensuite. Constructed with insulated concrete formwork, the home provides structural integrity, hurricane resistance, and energy efficiency. The meticulously landscaped grounds feature synthetic primary lawn areas to reduce irrigation costs. Additional amenities include a two-car air-conditioned garage with roof conduits ready for future solar panels, and a driveway made from reclaimed bricks from turn-of-the-century Chicago factories.

This exceptional home offers 24-hour security within a gated community containing tennis courts and meeting spaces. It also offers convenient access to waterfront amenities and restaurants, with easy boat access to the North Sound. Bird Island is a modern oasis, offering unobstructed, calming and private views.
