This 11,104-square-foot Mediterranean-style estate sits on over an acre of Miami Beach’s prestigious Star Island.
Originally owned by Rosie O’Donnell, it later became the home of Dr. David Frankel and his wife, Linda, who transformed it with elegant renovations.
The property features 8 en-suite bedrooms, 11 bathrooms, a gourmet kitchen with Viking, SubZero, and Miele appliances, and multiple entertaining spaces.
Outdoor highlights include two guesthouses, a boathouse, a private dock with a 40,000-pound boat lift, and a resort-style pool with a slide.
A lush mango grove and a sprawling banyan tree add charm to the waterfront setting with stunning Biscayne Bay views. Offering both historic appeal and redevelopment potential, the estate sits among elite neighbors like Ken Griffin, Gloria Estefan, and Shaquille O’Neal.
