photo (10)3266 Alamanda St., Coconut Grove
2,274 sf | 3 beds/2.5 baths | built in 2007 | sold for $700,000

Congratulations to my buyers who just closed on this gorgeous townhouse in center Coconut Grove! This was a very special transaction – not only did it mark my clients’ first home purchase, but it is also the home where they will raise their first child, a beautiful baby girl who was born only a few weeks before the closing!

The townhouse is located on a quiet cul-de-sac in center Coconut Grove, just steps to Coco Walk, parks and Coconut Grove Elementary.  It is a newer townhouse built in 2007, and has 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and nearly 2,300 square feet of living space.  The asking price was $750,000 and it sold for $700,000 ($308/sf).

The home featured hurricane impact windows and doors, a bright kitchen with stainless steel appliances and granite countertops, updated lighting, speakers and security cameras, plantation shutters, crown molding throughout, a 1 car garage, and a backyard with heated pool, covered patio and wet bar.  The oversized master bedroom has two large walk-in closets with built-ins and french doors that open to a large, private terrace, and the master bath is complete with sparkling marble, double sinks, and a glass shower and jacuzzi tub.  The downstairs features polished marble floors, while the upstairs bedrooms, hallway and staircase have beautiful hardwood.

One of my favorite parts about the home is the beautiful, ivy-covered facade and the surrounding lush foliage and bougainvillea.  It has a very tropical feel, unique to the Grove.

1060 Brickell Ave. #2505
1 bedroom/1.5 baths | 963 sf of living space | Offered for rent at $2,250/month

You may recall that I listed this gorgeous unit in 1060 Brickell for rent earlier this month.  The owners have decided to reduce the asking price from $2,350 to $2,250, as they are motivated and prepared to rent it quickly.  This is a very competitive price for a unit in the “05” line, as others have been renting for $2,300-$2,350.  With 963 square feet, this is the largest 1 bedroom unit with a water view that is currently available in the building.  The unit is vacant and ready for immediate occupancy – contact me before it’s gone!

The Roads is a quiet little neighborhood just west of Brickell, known for its tree-covered streets and beautiful, historic homes.  It has become increasingly coveted in recent years for young families and professionals who desire a suburban feel but love the proximity to Downtown Miami and Brickell.  The neighborhood’s name comes from the fact that it is located off of the Miami street grid, so all of the streets are named “roads” instead of streets or avenues.  See the highlighted map below.
