Searching for the perfect South Beach sanctuary? Look no further than this 1 bedroom unit I just listed at the Waverly South Beach, complete with sparkling bay views and a spacious balcony to soak up those gorgeous Miami sunrises and sunsets!  This bright unit features a foyer entrance, newly installed carpet in the living room and bedroom, an open floor plan in the living room and kitchen, large master bath, a laundry closet with full size washer and dryer, and 1 assigned parking space in the garage.  The landlord lives locally and is looking for a minimum 1 year lease.

Located at the southwest corner of 14th St. and West Ave., the Waverly is situated in the heart of South Beach, right on the edge of Biscayne Bay.  Residents love the location because of its neighborhood feel and walkability to Lincoln Road and the shops and cafes along West Ave.

The Waverly was built in 2001 and has 399 units between two interconnected towers.  The building recently underwent beautiful renovations and features incredible amenities, including:

  • 24-hour security and valet services
  • a resort-style, lagoon pool outlined by tropical palms right on the water’s edge
  • an exotic Feng Shui garden with lush, green foliage and waterfalls
  • tennis court
  • bay front sand volleyball court
  • fitness center
  • a café and convenience store
  • a party room, billiards, and business center

Market Update: West Coconut Grove Townhouses

2 Comments

IMG_3467

3373 Day Avenue, Miami, FL 33133
3 beds/3 baths | 2,300 sf | New Construction/Built in 2014 | Sold for $690,000

With 2014 coming to a close, I decided to take a look at the market activity this year in the “West Grove” townhouse market (aka the neighborhood of Center Grove that sits west of McDonald/32nd Ave.) – and it’s clear that things are heating up!  Earlier this month, a new construction townhouse (pictured above) located at 3373 Day Ave. sold for $690,000 ($300/sf).   Other notable sales in the neighborhood this year included a pair of new construction townhouses which sold in June for $679,000 each, and are located at 3407 and 3409 Day Ave.  Another sale nearly broke $700k – a townhome at 3060 Indiana St. sold for $695,000 in August.

Looking at the market data below, as well as all of the new construction that continues to break ground in this neighborhood, it’s clear that buyers and developers alike are bullish on the future of the West Grove.  Not to mention that buying new construction in the West Grove gets you a discount of nearly $100k!  Did I mention that two townhouses identical to the property pictured above sold on Orange St. in Center Grove for $780,000 and $760,000 in October?  Here are a few drool-worthy shots of these newly constructed properties.:

Just Rented with Option to Buy: Coconut Grove Townhouse

Leave a comment

p907627754-4

3103 Oak Ave., Coconut Grove, FL 33133
3 beds/2.5 baths | 2,200 sf | built in 2004 | rented for $3,800/month

You may recall that I recently listed this townhouse in Center Coconut Grove, and I’m pleased to inform you that the property just closed!  Although the property was originally listed for sale, the owners ultimately decided to also list it for rent due to the short time frame in which they were closing on their new home.  Their hope was that this would increase the number of prospects for the property and thus provide them with the cash they needed for their new purchase.  The perfect solution? A lease with an option to buy!  We ended up finding a couple that was in the process of selling their own home and looking to relocate to the Grove.  They needed to be out of their house quickly, but they weren’t prepared to buy a new house in that short amount of time.  As a result, they entered into a lease for $3,800/month and paid a non-refundable deposit for an option to buy the house within a certain number of months and at an agreed-upon price (I cannot disclose the sales price until the property closes, assuming the renters exercise the option to buy).  This type of transaction is not all that common, but in this case, it was an ideal arrangement for all of the parties!

If you are interested in buying or selling a home, you need an experienced Realtor that thinks outside the box and can help you navigate through the tricky terrain of home buying and selling.  I am your Coconut Grove resident specialist and I also work in the surrounding neighborhoods including Pinecrest, Coral Gables, South Miami, Brickell/Downtown Miami and Miami Beach.  I would love the opportunity to work with you – contact me today at 305.799.2124 or lindsayrubens@avatarflorida.com for a confidential discussion about buying or selling a home in Miami!

Brickell Magazine | November 2014

If you live in Brickell or the surrounding neighborhoods, you’ve likely come across Brickell Magazine.  Well, be sure to check out the November ’14 issue (as well as the upcoming December and January issues) where you can spot my new ad (above an adorable, sleepy-eyed dog, of course!).  In fact, you can even check out the digital issue right here: http://tagupload.com/digital/BM/11_14/files/1.html.

The November issue is all about “Ode to Home” (how apropos!).   Jorge Arauz, Editor-in-Chief, writes:

“Invite someone into your home and they’ll have a pretty good idea of the type of person you are.  There are few things more special (and personal) than having guests drop in for a visit.  Where we choose to live, and the things we decide to surround ourselves with on a daily basis, gives a lot of insight into who we are, our interests and our beliefs.  I’ve been inside homes with no family portraits on the walls and I’ve been to homes where happy images of loved ones are blown-up to wall-size proportions.  I’ve seen homes where the furniture and layout is worked around an extensive art collection and I’ve been to places that don’t have a single piece of art on display.  Whether your house is big or cozy, cluttered or organized, modern or traditional, colorful or stark white, it serves as a canvas of sorts that gives the rest of the world a bit of insight into who you are and what matters to you.  And that’s really what it comes down to: Your home is an extension of you.  And that’s something we should all be proud of.”

What does your home say about you?

Paramount Bay is a luxury, waterfront building located in the Edgewater neighborhood, just north of Downtown Miami.   Completed in 2011, Paramount Bay was developed by Royal Palm Communities and designed by world-renowned architectural firm, Arquitectonica.  The building is all-glass and has 47-stories with 346 units.

Residents love Paramount Bay for its beautiful design (the common areas were designed by Lenny Kravitz!), amazing amenities, first class service, and endless water views.  But one of the best features of Paramount Bay is its location.  Situated at 20th St. and N. Bayshore Drive, the building is positioned between entrances to I-195 and I-395, providing easy access to Miami Beach and the Miami Airport.  It’s also just minutes from Downtown Miami, Midtown Miami, Wynwood and the Design District.  If you’re a visual person like me, check out the map below (the star marks Paramount Bay).
