If you love city living but prefer a dwelling that feels like more of a “home” than a condo, you might want to consider the townhouses at the EPIC Residences in Downtown Miami.  These units have large floor plans consisting of 1-3 bedrooms, two levels, soaring ceilings, and multiple balconies.  Best yet, you have all the perks that come with living in a 5-star hotel, including 24 hour room service, separate pools for residents and hotel guests, a concierge, housekeeping, a state-of-the-art fitness center and spa, and the award-winning restaurant, Zuma, just to name a few.

The building was completed in 2008 and is located just over the bridge connecting Brickell and Downtown Miami, at 200 Biscayne Boulevard Way.  It’s situated right on the water, and you can often find a few very impressive yachts docked directly out front.  The building is pet-friendly for both owners and renters, and standard unit features include:

  • “EPIC-Link,” a system allowing interactive communication to the hotel amenities and services, via an in-residence touch panel or PC from anywhere in the world
  • State-of-the-art media panel, pre-wired for telephone system, HDTV, cable television, and internet
  • Glasswall impact resistant floor to ceiling windows and sliding glass doors
  • Dark oak wood Snaidero kitchen cabinets with stainless steel inserts
  • Recessed lighting
  • Bosch front loading washer and dryer
  • Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer and ice maker
  • Stainless steel Miele kitchen appliances

Of course, such luxury comes with a price…these townhouses are currently renting for close to $6,000 per month and selling for $1,000,000 and up.  As an example, the unit I’ve featured in this post’s photos is #507, a 2 bedroom/2.5 bathroom townhouse rental listed with Miriam Poggio of One Sotheby’s International Realty for $5,900 per month.  The unit has 1,574 square feet, includes 1 garage parking space, and comes furnished, as pictured.  I recently had a chance to see this unit in person and it is gorgeous!  Due to its location on the fifth floor and its view of the water, you almost feel like you’re on a cruise ship.  It is truly the epitome of urban tranquility, a “home” in the middle of a bustling city.

There are only a couple of these units currently available to rent or buy, and they tend to go fast – contact me today for more information or to set up a private showing.

For this week’s Under $500k, we have a beautifully updated condo at Brickell Townhouse, a waterfront condo building situated at the southern end of Brickell Avenue.  This two bedroom/two bathroom unit has 1,305 square feet and was listed just last week for $449,000.  The unit was totally gutted and remodeled; features include sparkling white porcelain tile floors, solid interior doors, an Italian kitchen with stainless steel appliances and Carrara Marble counter tops, as well as beautiful bathrooms.  The condo also offers spacious living areas and bedrooms, as well as covered parking for 1 car.  But let’s be honest – the real prize is the breathtaking water view .

I’m also loooooving what the owner did with the kitchen…and I will always be a fan of white porcelain tile floors.  So Miami chic and the perfect way to complement a turquoise water view.

Under $500k: Coral Gables

Leave a comment

A1819465_101_121245 Ortega Ave., Coral Gables, FL 33134 | $499,000 | 3 bedrooms/2 bathrooms | 1,712 sf | 5,250 sf lot
Listed by Ana Clarke and Michael Falsetto of The Grand & Assoc. Realty Inc.

For this week’s installment of Under $500k, I bring you 1245 Ortega Avenue, a charming home in the highly sought-after North Coral Gables neighborhood.  This home was originally listed for $585,000 in July 2013, but was dropped to $499,000 just last week.

The home, which was built in 1960, is located on a quiet, tree-lined street on a corner lot, which is a huge plus for a young family or a couple looking to start a family.  According to the listing, the property features  hard wood floors throughout, great mill work, recessed lighting, an oversized garage, large closets, an en-suite master bath with double shower heads, hurricane shutters, a new roof, and a new air conditioner.

The photos show a sparkling kitchen with a modern, stainless steel range hood and built-in wine refrigerator.  Swap out the white refrigerator for a stainless steel sub-zero and this kitchen would really shine!  Although the second bathroom looks a bit outdated, a little paint in a modern color and a chic shower curtain would spruce it up until you’re ready to remodel it.

Finally, the property features great curb appeal with beautiful palm trees lining the entrance to the home, as well as a lush green lot and hedges for privacy.  Welcome home!

It’s not easy to find a large Brickell condo in a luxury, waterfront building for under one million dollars, let alone such a unit in a building like the Jade Residences at Brickell Bay.  But unit 602 fits the bill: listed for $739,000, this large NW corner 2 bedroom/2 bathroom unit with nearly 1,500 square feet has both city and water views, a large wrap-around terrace, floor-to-ceiling windows and high ceilings.  The unit has a sparkling kitchen with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and Italian cabinetry, as well as gorgeous hardwood floors throughout and marble floors in the bathrooms.

But the icing on the cake is that this unit is located at the Jade, a true Brickell gem.  Built in 2004, it’s a 48-story luxury high-rise building on Biscayne Bay with 338 residences.  Situated at 1331 Brickell Bay Drive, it’s just a block off of Brickell Ave. and walking distance to Mary Brickell Village.  The building is pet-friendly and has some of the most beautiful amenities of any building in Brickell.

Currently, there are 21 units for sale at the Jade, ranging from $470,000 for a one-bedroom with 895 square feet to $2,875,000 for a 4-bedroom, 3,400+ square foot penthouse.
