Just Sold: New Construction Townhouse Resale in Center Grove

September 13, 2016September 23, 20162 Comments

3167 Gifford Lane, Miami, FL 33133
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.

Center Coconut Grove Townhouse Sells for $1,072,000

September 10, 2015Leave a comment

3122 Virginia Street, Miami, FL 33133
4 bedrooms/3 bathrooms | 3,107sf | Built in 2001 | Sold for $1,072,000

A freestanding “mini mansion” in Center Grove closed on August 24, 2015 for $1,072,000 ($345/sf). The property was originally listed at the end of March 2015 for $1,350,000, and had price reductions in April and May, to $1,190,000 and $1,149,000 respectively. The listing agent was Berk Boge of Miami Real Estate Company.

According to the MLS listing, the property was built in 2001 by “Center Grove’s most experienced developer for his own family.” The home is larger than most in the neighborhood, complete with 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths and 3,100+ square feet of living space. It is also a unique property in that it is freestanding (i.e. shares no walls or roof with a neighboring home, which is the norm in the neighborhood).

The listing further provides that the home features marble and wood floors throughout, 20+ feet ceilings in the foyer and formal living room, formal dining, open kitchen with snack counter and large family room. The property also has a covered, private backyard patio with an oversized pool and summer kitchen, and a two car garage that has been converted into a fifth bedroom.

While this was the priciest townhouse sale in Center Grove over the last 12 months based on sales price (as per the MLS data), its sales price per square foot ($345) is just slightly above the average range for the neighborhood. Situated on Virginia St. just off of Shipping Ave., the property has an ideal location just walking distance to Blanche Park dog and kiddie park and Coco Walk.
