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.

The Roads is a quiet little neighborhood just west of Brickell, known for its tree-covered streets and beautiful, historic homes.  It has become increasingly coveted in recent years for young families and professionals who desire a suburban feel but love the proximity to Downtown Miami and Brickell.  The neighborhood’s name comes from the fact that it is located off of the Miami street grid, so all of the streets are named “roads” instead of streets or avenues.  See the highlighted map below.

Market Update: West Coconut Grove Townhouses

3373 Day Avenue, Miami, FL 33133
3 beds/3 baths | 2,300 sf | New Construction/Built in 2014 | Sold for $690,000

With 2014 coming to a close, I decided to take a look at the market activity this year in the “West Grove” townhouse market (aka the neighborhood of Center Grove that sits west of McDonald/32nd Ave.) – and it’s clear that things are heating up!  Earlier this month, a new construction townhouse (pictured above) located at 3373 Day Ave. sold for $690,000 ($300/sf).   Other notable sales in the neighborhood this year included a pair of new construction townhouses which sold in June for $679,000 each, and are located at 3407 and 3409 Day Ave.  Another sale nearly broke $700k – a townhome at 3060 Indiana St. sold for $695,000 in August.

Looking at the market data below, as well as all of the new construction that continues to break ground in this neighborhood, it’s clear that buyers and developers alike are bullish on the future of the West Grove.  Not to mention that buying new construction in the West Grove gets you a discount of nearly $100k!  Did I mention that two townhouses identical to the property pictured above sold on Orange St. in Center Grove for $780,000 and $760,000 in October?  Here are a few drool-worthy shots of these newly constructed properties.:
