Arbor
3034 Oak Ave | Miami, FL 33133

Have you heard? There’s a new boutique condo building coming to Center Grove and from the looks of it, it will have no problem fitting in. Arbor describes itself as “52 residences in Coconut Grove inspired by eco-living, good living and everything in between.” Inspired by the Grove’s lush canopy of trees, natural beauty and laid-back pace, Arbor’s high ceilings, private gardens and floor to ceiling windows offer a natural retreat from the daily grind. With only five floors, the building nestles discreetly among the leafy streets of Coconut Grove.

Developed by Urban Atlantic Group and Oak Ventures, Arbor will be situated just north of Cocowalk at 3034 Oak Avenue. Behar Font & Partners is the architect behind Arbor’s design, which it describes as “practically proportioned both inside and out…a welcome contrast to many of the large-scale, statement developments that have become the norm.”

I recently had the opportunity to meet with Arbor’s developer and sales team to get the full scoop on the project, and I can’t wait to watch it all unfold. Sales have already launched and groundbreaking is expected in about three months.

Read on for more details on the project and photos from the sales gallery. For more information on Arbor, contact me directly at 305.799.2124 or lrubens@bhsusa.com.

3127-3129 Matilda Street | Miami, FL 33133

Last December I wrote about a pair of new construction townhouses that were under contract on Matilda Street in Center Grove. The asking price for each townhouse was $795,900, and both units have now sold for $780,000 ($355/sf) a piece.

The townhouses have 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms and 2,200 square feet of living space. Each unit has a carport, a backyard patio with a pool, and a rooftop terrace. Located on Matilda St. between Shipping and Day Ave., the new owners are just a quick walk to Cocowalk and Downtown Coconut Grove.

New construction properties like these in Center Grove are few and far between, and many of them sell before the developer even breaks ground. Contact me today to find out about other new construction opportunities in the Grove at 305.799.2124 or lrubens@bhsusa.com.

4 beds/3.5 baths | 3,092 sf | built in 2007 | asking price $1,175,000

At the end of December, I highlighted the priciest Center Grove townhouse sale in 2016 in this post. The property address was 3183 Oak Ave., and the home sold for $1,150,000 ($385/sf). Originally built in 2007, the home was recently completely remodeled with gorgeous, top of the line finishes.

Earlier this month, the adjacent townhouse at 3181 Oak Ave. was listed for sale asking $1,175,000 ($380/sf). The listing description says that the home was completely redone in 2014 and features impact windows throughout, marble floors, plantation shutters, and an oversized kitchen with wood cabinets and stainless steel appliances opening to the family room. The property is listed with Ashley Cusack of EWM Realty International, who also listed the neighboring property at 3183 Oak Ave.

These townhouses are quite larger than others in the neighborhood with approximately 3,000 square feet of living space and a 4 bedroom floor plan. They have a two-car garage, loads of closet space and an open kitchen/living/dining layout on the first floor.

Take a look at some of the photos of 3181 Oak Ave., below, or check out the full photo tour here. For more information on this property or to schedule a private showing, contact me directly at 305.799.2124 or lrubens@bhsusa.com

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.

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.

Check out all of the photos below, and feel free to contact me at lindsayrubens@avatarflorida.com or 305.799.2124 for more information.
