Luxury living in Miami Beach
In a stunning display of wealth and taste, former Dallas Mavericks dancer and choreographer Marcella Raneri, known for her appearances on Netflix’s Dancing Queen and So You Think You Can Dance, has recently acquired a breathtaking Miami Beach mansion for a whopping $40 million.
This extravagant purchase comes just days after the couple celebrated their engagement with a lavish party in Dallas, featuring a performance by the Chainsmokers and an opulent floral display that included 200,000 flowers.
A mansion designed for entertainment
The newly acquired residence is located on North Bay Road, a prime area known for its luxurious waterfront properties.
Designed by renowned architect Ralph Choeff, this modern two-story estate spans an impressive 9,442 square feet and features six bedrooms, plus an additional guest house. The property boasts stunning views of Biscayne Bay and the Miami skyline, making it the perfect backdrop for entertaining guests.
According to listing broker Chad Carroll of Compass, the house is designed with entertainment in mind. It includes a show kitchen, a prep kitchen, and even a walk-in freezer, catering to those who love to host gatherings. With a layout that promotes socializing, it’s no wonder this property caught the couple’s attention.
Customizing their dream home
Raneri and her fiancé, tech entrepreneur Daniel Nutkis, are not just settling into their new mansion; they are planning significant renovations to make it their own. They have enlisted the help of Troy Dean Home, Nutkis’ longtime design partner, to execute a vision that reportedly includes a customization budget of $7 million to $8 million.
This commitment to personalizing their space reflects their desire to create a home that truly represents their lifestyle.
The estate, built in 2021, last sold for $23.65 million, indicating a robust market for ultra-luxury properties in Miami Beach.
As noted by Carroll, the scarcity of quality inventory in prime locations like North Bay Road highlights the ongoing strength of the luxury real estate market in the area.
What’s next for the couple?
As they prepare for their upcoming wedding next February, the couple is undoubtedly enjoying their new home and the lifestyle that comes with it. With a full guest house, a gym, a sauna, and a cold plunge pool, their mansion is not just a residence but a sanctuary for relaxation and entertainment. The couple’s journey from a dazzling engagement party to a multimillion-dollar home purchase showcases the allure of the high life in Miami Beach.
