Under $500k: Luxury Living at the Ritz-Carlton Residences, Coconut Grove

June 27, 2014Leave a comment

The Residences at The Ritz-Carlton, Coconut Grove
3350 SW 27 Ave., #1603
1 bedroom/1 bathroom/1 half bath | 896 sf | $499,000

After a bit of a hiatus, Under $500k is back! – and this week, I’m featuring a modern and bright 1 bedroom unit at The Residences at The Ritz-Carlton, Coconut Grove. Tucked away in the heart of Coconut Grove just off of Bayshore Drive, these Ritz-Carlton residences are located in one of Miami’s most exclusive neighborhoods surrounded by nearly two acres of lush tropical gardens and views of Biscayne Bay. Built in 2002, the property consists of 2 towers (one for hotel guests, another for residents), and the residents’ tower has 22 floors with 115 units. Residents can enjoy the hotel’s premier amenities, such as a state-of-the-art spa and fitness center, luxurious pool, valet and concierge services, as well as the hotel’s cafe and fine dining. It’s also worth noting (for all of your dog lovers – like me!) that the Residences are pet-friendly.

The property I am showcasing is #1603 and it has 1 bedroom, 1 full bathroom and 1 half bathroom. It has just under 900 square feet and is listed for $499,000 ($554/sf). The property is listed by Mitzi Mitchell of Cervera Real Estate. The unit features beautiful modern finishes including beige marble floors throughout with Venetian plaster walls. It has a large balcony overlooking sailboats on the bay and a sparkling city skyline at night. The spacious master bedroom has a walk-in closet and a luxurious en-suite master bathroom with dual sinks, a bath tub, glass-enclosed shower, and ample cabinetry. The kitchen is light and bright with granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances, and the powder room is a great added bonus for entertaining.

One of my favorite parts about this property is all the gorgeous light fixtures. While recently decorating my new house, I became obsessed with light fixtures – they’re an easy way to make a dramatic change in a space. I’ve counted three sparkling light fixtures throughout this property – one in the kitchen, and one in each bathroom. They are super chic and provide the perfect touch of luxury!

Unit 405 at Wynwood Lofts
250 NW 23 St., Miami, FL 33127
1 bedroom/1 bathroom/ 1,063 sf

I am thrilled for my client who just closed on his fabulous new condo in Wynwood Lofts! Located at 250 NW 23 Street just off of 2nd Ave., Wynwood Lofts is just a stone’s throw from neighborhood staples like Panther Coffee, Jugofresh and Cafeina, and a quick walk to the shops, restaurants and art galleries of Wynwood. Built in 2005, the pet-friendly building has 36 loft-style units with soaring ceilings, concrete floors, covered parking and a rooftop pool. In-unit camera monitors provide extra security allowing tenants to view building activity at all times. The unique feature of Wywood lofts is that it is zoned for both residential and commercial use. This provides for quite an eclectic mix of residents, from photographers to designers and beyond.

The unit my client purchased has 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom and 1,063 square feet. It has 14-foot ceilings with a built-in mezzanine and spiral staircase, as well as an upgraded kitchen and bathroom, and upgraded light fixtures and air ducts. It sold for $362,000 ($341/sf). It’s an amazing space and I can’t wait to see what he and his fiance do with it!

There are currently two other available units for sale in the building and one available rental:

Unit # Bedrooms Bathrooms SF List Price Price/SF
