3 beds/3 baths | 2,300 sf | built in 2015 | sold for $729,000 ($317/sf) on 5/29/15

If you’ve been following this blog for some time, you may recall my West Coconut Grove Market Update from about six months back.  At that time, new construction sales had yet to break $700k (as per MLS data), unlike their counterparts in Center Grove which were selling at prices well above that number.  Now, we’re seeing sales in the West Grove reaching $707,000 and $729,000, and a handful of properties with asking prices above $700k are currently pending.  These sales are also notable because they reached $307/sf and $317/sf, whereas the average sales price per square foot in the neighborhood is generally in the $100-$200 range.

If the above photo looks familiar, that’s because you’ve seen me post about other notable sales from this particular developer over the past year.  It should come as no surprise then that both of these $700,000+ sales were from the very same developer.  This new construction model has cropped up all over the Grove, from Orange Street to McDonald to Day Avenue and now Elizabeth Street.  A property on Elizabeth just closed for $729,000 ($317/sf), and a property on Day closed for $707,000 ($307/sf), thus raising the bar (and property values) in the West Grove.  The listing agent for both sales was Silvia Boschetti with BH Realty, LLC.     I have toured these properties multiple times and can attest to their high end designer finishes and open floor plan, ultra-modern fixtures, floor-to-ceiling impact glass, fenced-in backyard with pool, and 950 square foot private rooftop terrace (see photos below).

You may remember this beautiful Coconut Grove townhouse that I listed last fall.  Well, it’s back on the market and priced to sell!  The asking price is $639,000 (or $290/sf) which is a very competitive price for the neighborhood.

2,274 sf | 3 beds/2.5 baths | built in 2007 | sold for $700,000

Congratulations to my buyers who just closed on this gorgeous townhouse in center Coconut Grove! This was a very special transaction – not only did it mark my clients’ first home purchase, but it is also the home where they will raise their first child, a beautiful baby girl who was born only a few weeks before the closing!

The townhouse is located on a quiet cul-de-sac in center Coconut Grove, just steps to Coco Walk, parks and Coconut Grove Elementary.  It is a newer townhouse built in 2007, and has 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and nearly 2,300 square feet of living space.  The asking price was $750,000 and it sold for $700,000 ($308/sf).

The home featured hurricane impact windows and doors, a bright kitchen with stainless steel appliances and granite countertops, updated lighting, speakers and security cameras, plantation shutters, crown molding throughout, a 1 car garage, and a backyard with heated pool, covered patio and wet bar.  The oversized master bedroom has two large walk-in closets with built-ins and french doors that open to a large, private terrace, and the master bath is complete with sparkling marble, double sinks, and a glass shower and jacuzzi tub.  The downstairs features polished marble floors, while the upstairs bedrooms, hallway and staircase have beautiful hardwood.

One of my favorite parts about the home is the beautiful, ivy-covered facade and the surrounding lush foliage and bougainvillea.  It has a very tropical feel, unique to the Grove.

1060 Brickell Ave. #2505
1 bedroom/1.5 baths | 963 sf of living space | Offered for rent at $2,250/month

You may recall that I listed this gorgeous unit in 1060 Brickell for rent earlier this month.  The owners have decided to reduce the asking price from $2,350 to $2,250, as they are motivated and prepared to rent it quickly.  This is a very competitive price for a unit in the “05” line, as others have been renting for $2,300-$2,350.  With 963 square feet, this is the largest 1 bedroom unit with a water view that is currently available in the building.  The unit is vacant and ready for immediate occupancy – contact me before it’s gone!

Congratulations Associates 2014 Herald 2-16-15 Final

I am honored to have been recognized within Avatar’s prestigious Diamond Society for my sales performance in 2014!
