3 beds/2.5 baths | Offered at $795,900

I’ve been watching this pretty pair of townhouses go up just around the corner from my street in Center Grove, and they look like they’re nearly done. I spoke to the developer’s agent today who confirmed that both units are under contract.  The developer, Jemko Development Corp., is no stranger to Center Grove, having completed four gorgeous townhouses at 3046-3052 Day Ave. in 2015, as well as a portfolio of other projects in the Grove.

These particular townhouses have 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and a little over 2,000 square feet of living space.  The asking price for each unit is $795,900, which would come out to under $400/sf (assuming the units are 2,000 sf or larger).  Each unit has a carport, a backyard patio with a pool, and a rooftop terrace.

Scroll down to view the floor plans, and check back in a few weeks for an update on the sales prices once these units close.

a10072625_201_22 3119 Mary Street #4, Miami, FL 33133
3 bedrooms/2.5 bathrooms | 1,470 sf | built in 1993 | sold for $479,550

Congrats to my buyer on closing on this fabulous townhouse in Center Coconut Grove! This bright, 3 bedroom corner unit sold for under $500,000 which is quite rare to find in the neighborhood these days. The property is located on Mary Street in the quiet gated community of Grove Cove, which consists of 9 townhouses.

In addition to 3 bedrooms, the home has 2 full baths upstairs and a half bath on the main floor, as well as an updated kitchen, a one car garage and a lovely, landscaped backyard patio.  Although the property has less than 2,000 square feet of living space, it has vaulted ceilings and an open floor plan, which makes it feel larger than it is.  The home has tile floors downstairs and carpet in the bedrooms, and there are beautiful brick pavers throughout the community and around the front and back of the property.

Just Sold: Charming Fixer-Upper in Coral Gables

3916 Alhambra Circle, Coral Gables, FL 33134
3 bedrooms/3 bathrooms | 2,171 sf | 6,600 sf lot | built in 1971 | sold for $625,000

I am thrilled for my buyers who just closed on this beautiful home in Coral Gables!  This transaction was a unique one, where all parties had open communication throughout the process.  Although most agents loathe contact between the seller and buyer while the sale is pending (as it can often create more problems), sometimes it’s the only way to get the deal done! In this case, the parties realized they were business acquaintances which made the seller more comfortable and allowed them to “speak their own language” and reach a deal.  Ultimately, everyone walked away happy!

This property was built in 1971 and parts of it were still frozen in time (check out that retro kitchen and wallpaper!).  But aside from cosmetics, this home had great bones and included most of the items on my buyers’ checklist: 2,000+ square feet of living space, 3 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms (including a true master suite and bath), ample closet space, loads of natural light, a 1 car garage, lovely curb appeal and a 6,600 sf lot.  Best of all, the home is located on Alhambra Circle, a beautiful tree-lined street in coveted Coral Gables – and it closed for less than $300/sf !

Congratulations all around!

3 beds/4 full baths | 2,491 sf | built in December 2015 | sold for $963,000

Congratulations to my buyer who just closed on this gorgeous property in Center Coconut Grove! While technically this was a resale, the property is not even one year old and the seller had only lived in the home for a handful of months.  It is a larger townhouse with 3 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms and almost 2,500 square feet of living space.  This was an off-market sale which closed for $963,000 ($387/sf).

Similar to other new construction homes in the neighborhood, this townhouse is ultra-modern and comes with all of the incredible bells and whistles of buying new construction today (think impact glass throughout, sleek kitchen with white quartz countertops and stainless steel appliances, recessed LED lighting, indoor/outdoor sound system, advanced security system with outdoor cameras, and porcelain tile “wood look” floors throughout).

This particular property is unique in that it has two A/C zones (one upstairs and one downstairs) as well as a gas range, gas water heater and gas dryer. Other notable features include 20-foot ceilings in the living room and dining room, a large rooftop patio with a wet bar, a spacious backyard with heated pool, 1 car garage with porcelain floors, a spacious built-out closet in the master suite and an enormous rainhead glass shower and soaking tub in the master bath.

And of course, one of the best parts about this property is its fabulous location in the heart of Center Grove.  This home is located on Gifford Lane, a quiet, tree-lined street just minutes from Cocowalk and Downtown Coconut Grove.  It’s not easy to find a new construction property like this in Coconut Grove for under $1 million these days. Even though this property was never listed on the MLS, I live and work in the Grove and found out about this opportunity early on.  I was able to get my client in the door and negotiate a deal for him very quickly, and now he’s the lucky new owner!

If you are interested in buying or selling a home like this in Coconut Grove or the surrounding neighborhoods, I would love the opportunity to work with you! Call or email me at any time at 305-799-2124 or lindsayrubens@avatarflorida.com.
