a10072625_201_22 3119 Mary Street #4, Miami, FL 33133
3 bedrooms/2.5 bathrooms | 1,470 sf | built in 1993 | sold for $479,550

Congrats to my buyer on closing on this fabulous townhouse in Center Coconut Grove! This bright, 3 bedroom corner unit sold for under $500,000 which is quite rare to find in the neighborhood these days. The property is located on Mary Street in the quiet gated community of Grove Cove, which consists of 9 townhouses.

In addition to 3 bedrooms, the home has 2 full baths upstairs and a half bath on the main floor, as well as an updated kitchen, a one car garage and a lovely, landscaped backyard patio.  Although the property has less than 2,000 square feet of living space, it has vaulted ceilings and an open floor plan, which makes it feel larger than it is.  The home has tile floors downstairs and carpet in the bedrooms, and there are beautiful brick pavers throughout the community and around the front and back of the property.

Check out all of the photos below, and feel free to contact me at lindsayrubens@avatarflorida.com or 305.799.2124 for more information.

The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Coconut Grove
4300 SW 27 Ave., #1407 | 2 beds/2.5 baths | 1,666 sf | built in 2001 | Sold for $900,000 ($540/sf)

Congratulations to my buyer who just closed on this stunning condominium at the exclusive Ritz-Carlton Residences in Coconut Grove!  Tucked away in the heart of Coconut Grove just off of 27th Ave. and Bayshore Drive, the property consists of 2 towers – one for hotel guests, another for residents. The residents’ tower has 22 floors with 115 units, complete with its own residents’ pool and gym.  Of course, residents can enjoy the hotel’s premier amenities, such as a state-of-the-art spa and pool, valet and concierge services, as well as the hotel’s cafe and fine dining.

This particular unit features a split floor plan with 2 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, a half bath and 1,666 square feet of living space.  It was listed with Helen (Jeanne) Nicastri of Coldwell Banker Residential Real Estate.  The listing price was $950,000 and the property sold for $900,000 ($540/sf).  The unit has sparkling marble floors throughout, an open concept kitchen-dining-living room space, and an oversize balcony with beautiful views of Biscayne Bay, Downtown Miami, and the surrounding Coconut Grove neighborhood.  The sellers had updated the property with recessed lighting, fine wood cabinetry with a wet bar and wine refrigerator in the living room, as well as cabinetry in the second bedroom.

One of the best features of the unit is the spacious master suite, which has two large walk-in closets and a gorgeous marble bathroom with a glass shower and separate roman tub.  Take a look at all of the photos below!  And as always, contact me directly at 305-799-2124 or lindsayrubens@avatarflorida.com for more info on buying or selling a unit at the Ritz-Carlton Residences or the surrounding neighborhoods.

New Construction Sells in West Coconut Grove for $700,000+

1 Comment

A2074641_201_123035 Elizabeth St. #3037, Coconut Grove, FL 33133
3 beds/3 baths | 2,300 sf | built in 2015 | sold for $729,000 ($317/sf) on 5/29/15

If you’ve been following this blog for some time, you may recall my West Coconut Grove Market Update from about six months back.  At that time, new construction sales had yet to break $700k (as per MLS data), unlike their counterparts in Center Grove which were selling at prices well above that number.  Now, we’re seeing sales in the West Grove reaching $707,000 and $729,000, and a handful of properties with asking prices above $700k are currently pending.  These sales are also notable because they reached $307/sf and $317/sf, whereas the average sales price per square foot in the neighborhood is generally in the $100-$200 range.

If the above photo looks familiar, that’s because you’ve seen me post about other notable sales from this particular developer over the past year.  It should come as no surprise then that both of these $700,000+ sales were from the very same developer.  This new construction model has cropped up all over the Grove, from Orange Street to McDonald to Day Avenue and now Elizabeth Street.  A property on Elizabeth just closed for $729,000 ($317/sf), and a property on Day closed for $707,000 ($307/sf), thus raising the bar (and property values) in the West Grove.  The listing agent for both sales was Silvia Boschetti with BH Realty, LLC.     I have toured these properties multiple times and can attest to their high end designer finishes and open floor plan, ultra-modern fixtures, floor-to-ceiling impact glass, fenced-in backyard with pool, and 950 square foot private rooftop terrace (see photos below).
