Skateboarder and skatepark proponent Nick Katz acquired the Miami house that was featured on the popular TV series “The World’s Most Extraordinary Homes.”

Katz paid $1.46 million for the Brillhart house at 937 Northwest North River Drive, near the Miami River. Architects Jacob and Melissa Brillhart sold the two-bedroom, 1,581-square-foot house, property records show.

The home, in the Spring Garden neighborhood of Miami, was featured on an episode of the BBC show, which was picked up by Netflix. It was designed and built by the Brillharts. It has two floor-to-ceiling doors and windows, a front porch with louvered shutters, and tropical landscaping.
