Key Biscayne isn’t just another island—it’s a state of mind. And within this tropical sanctuary lies Key Colony I – Tidemark, a beachfront gem where the Atlantic whispers through palm trees and luxury takes on a slower, more thoughtful rhythm.
Here, two distinct listings at 201 Crandon Blvd tell different stories—both compelling, both worth leaning into. Whether you’re seeking grand scale elegance or a breezy modern retreat, these homes offer more than square footage—they offer a way of life.
📍 201 Crandon Blvd #174
This 4-bedroom, 5-bath corner unit is not just a condo—it’s a statement. At 3,254 sq ft, it lives like a home but flows like a resort. Expansive interiors, sophisticated finishes, and panoramic wraparound terraces make it the crown jewel of Key Colony I.
🛋 Design Vision:
This residence begs for a design that balances earth and sea. Think soft neutral tones, sheer linen drapes, and oversized woven rugs. Add in local art or black-and-white photography of Biscayne wildlife. Accent with marine blues and brushed gold hardware. You’re not decorating a unit—you’re creating a sanctuary.
🧑💼 Ideal Buyer:
This one’s for the legacy buyer—someone looking to own a piece of the island long-term. A couple with grown children and grandchildren who visit often. Maybe a former executive ready to retire in comfort and host in style. The layout supports both privacy and togetherness.
🏖 Lifestyle:
With Key Colony’s beachfront access, pool decks, tennis courts, and lush walking paths, you could live days without ever needing to leave the community. But when you do? The Ritz is around the corner. So is your favorite fresh juice spot.
📍 201 Crandon Blvd #739
A sleek, 2-bedroom, 2-bath unit with 1,531 sq ft of livable elegance. What makes it shine isn’t just the open layout—it’s the flow, the light, and the potential. This unit is ideal for someone who wants luxury without unnecessary scale. It’s tight, it’s dialed-in, and it knows exactly what it’s doing.
🛋 Design Vision:
Go for coastal minimalism—wide plank wood floors, matte black light fixtures, clean-line furniture in driftwood tones. Mount your TV on an accent wall. Get clever with space. Use mirrors to stretch the natural light. Add an herb wall on the balcony. Let the Atlantic air flow through every corner.
👩💼 Ideal Buyer:
This is the unit for a professional couple who want a work-from-home-ready condo on the weekends—or full-time. It’s also perfect for the international buyer looking for a safe, secure, well-managed island residence they can lock-and-leave.
🌴 Lifestyle:
Imagine waking up, walking to the beach barefoot with coffee in hand, and being back at your desk by 9. Then heading to the gym downstairs before sunset cocktails. That’s not a vacation. That’s Tuesday.
Why Tidemark Still Wins
Key Colony I – Tidemark is the quiet champion of Key Biscayne. Built in 1978, it holds the kind of vintage solidity and structure that new builds struggle to replicate. It’s also one of the rare places where the beach is your backyard—no roads to cross, no traffic to dodge.
You get a secure gated entry, a lush 40-acre community, direct access to the sand, multiple pools, tennis courts, a convenience market, and a lifestyle that mixes privacy with low-key luxury.
Final Take: Two Doors, One Island Dream
Whether you gravitate toward the grand expanse of #174 or the breezy elegance of #739, both listings place you in a league of your own. What you’re buying here isn’t just a floor plan or a view—it’s a rhythm. A new pace. A daily life anchored in peace, sunlight, and good design.
The only question is: Which story do you want to live?
