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

Leave a comment

A2093616_101_123122 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.

“Coconut Grove New Construction” Expands North of US-1

2886 SW 32nd Ct., Miami, FL 33133
3 bedrooms/2.5 bathrooms | 2,200 sf | built in 2015 | sold for $536,000

There’s no question that new construction is in high demand in Miami.  Who can resist that sleek, ultra-modern look, with its clean lines and high-end finishes?  I’ve blogged a lot about the new construction townhouses in Coconut Grove, which continue to change the landscape of the neighborhood and set new records with their ever-increasing price points.   Now, many of those developers are heading north of US-1 just outside of Coconut Grove, where the neighborhood is “transitioning” and land is cheaper.  These properties are nearly identical to those in Center and West Coconut Grove, yet priced $200,000-$300,000 less!

The property shown above is located at 2886 SW 32nd Ct., just a few blocks north of Coconut Grove and minutes from Coral Gables.  It sold on June 29, 2015 for $536,000 or $244/sf.  The listing agent was Graciela Arango-Diaz of Florida Realty of Miami Corp.  Check out more photos of the property below:

There are a handful of similar properties currently on the market, which range in price from $559k – $699k.  Additionally, as The Real Deal recently reported, a 21 unit townhouse project dubbed “Grove Place” at 2701 Southwest 28th Ave. began selling to friends and family this month.  According to TRD, the units will have 3,700 square feet, including a rooftop patio, with an interior size of 2,350 square feet.   TRD reports that groundbreaking could take place by the end of 2015 with completion in mid-2017.

Check out some snapshots of the current inventory in the neighborhood, including a rendering of Grove Place, below:
