A1981355_101_12
1225 Tangier Street, Coral Gables, FL 33134
2 beds/2 baths | 1,224 sf | 7,500 sf lot | Built in 1937 | Offered at $495,000 | Listed by Jorge Fernandez with One Sotheby’s International Realty

Get ready to swoon! For today’s Under $500k, we have this Coral Gables home that’s as cute as a button.  Listed for $495,000, the home has 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 1,224 square feet of living space and a 7,500 square foot lot.  This house may be cozy but it exudes character!  I’m loving the combination of its charming, original features (like the fireplace, exposed brick in the kitchen, Spanish tile and wood beam ceilings in the sunny family room) with modern updates (renovated bathrooms, updated kitchen, and recessed lighting).   And check out those gleaming hardwood floors!  Other notable features include a 1 car garage, a charming outdoor patio, and a beautifully landscaped lot.

 As for location, the home sits on a quiet, tree-lined street just off of Granada Blvd. and is walking distance to nearby parks, country clubs and golf courses.  It’s also a quick drive to Downtown Coral Gables, Miami airport and major highways.

Under $500k: Coral Gables (Part 2)

Although it wasn’t my plan to post more than one property each week for Under $500k, I couldn’t resist sharing this property this week (it’s been on the market for 12 days and I have a feeling it won’t be available much longer!).  Plus, since I didn’t get a chance to post anything the last 2 weeks, I figure we’re making up for lost time.  Aaaand, since it’s located in Coral Gables, we’ve got a little Gables theme going this week.

So without further ado, I present to you 315 Viscaya Avenue.  Before I tell you about it, let’s check out some more photos, shall we?  I think they speak for themselves:

Wouldn’t you agree that this home just exudes charm?!  Listed for $498,000, it has 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 1,450 square feet and a 5,000 square foot lot.  From the ivy-covered arched entrance to the Spanish tile and gleaming hardwood floors, this Old Spanish cottage is the perfect starter home for a young couple or a new home for empty-nesters looking to downsize.

According to the listing, the home, which was built in 1926, features a glassed-in front porch which the current owner uses as a foyer and library, a fireplace in the living room, a formal dining room and an updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances.  The backyard is fenced, and lush foliage and palm trees provide great privacy.  The home also has a carport and plenty of street parking, and all furniture is also for sale.

I just love all the unique details of this bright home, from the large windows flanking the front door, to the brick paved front walkway, to the large wrought-iron gate…plus, I’m a total sucker for ivy.  Check out all of the photos below and let me know – what do you think of this property?
