2 Contemporary Homes Come On The Market In Coconut Grove
June 28th, 2011 | categories: Coconut Grove Real Estate
I am always tracking the modern/contemporary home market in Coconut Grove because I know that it is a very desirable segment for buyers these days. By definition, modern architecture is a simplification of form and creation of ornament from the structure and theme of the building. Some of the characteristics of modern homes are high ceilings, open living spaces, walls of glass and windows, and straight or angled lines as opposed to curved lines. One thing that is so great about modern architecture in Coconut Grove is that the floor to ceiling windows really let you appreciate the lush foliage that Coconut Grove has to offer.
The first modern home that recently came on the market is located in the South Grove. 3835 Kent Court (photo above) offers 6,350 square feet of living space on a 7,540 square foot lot with 5 bedrooms, 5.5 baths. I was in the home back in 2009 when it was on the market as an unapproved short sale, it has since sold and come back on the market. The home is ultra-modern with a spectacular 2,000 square foot rooftop terrace complete with hot tub, tv, misting fans and entertainment system. The home is listed by Geraldine Brodie of ReMax for $1,800,000. View more photos of 3835 Kent Court click here.
Another great modern home that has recently come on the market is 3553 Palmetto Avenue (photo above) in the South Grove listed by Jorge Fernandez of One Sotheby’s. The home is owned by a leading New York architect and offers many special features including teak and porcelain floors, a chefs kitchen with Miele appliances, as well as a master bedroom that overlooks the pool and lush foliage. The home offers 3 bedrooms, 2 baths with 3,118 square feet of living space on a 7,000 square foot lot and is listed at $1,325,000. View more photos of 3553 Palmetto Avenue here.
As far as recent closed sales of modern style homes in Coconut Grove we have 4051 Ensenada which was sold by Polly Schiff of Coldwell Banker and Kitty Roedel of Grove Properties. The home sold for $1,050,000 or $327 per square foot. For photos and information of this home click here.
When listing or buying a home it is essential to have a local Realtor who knows the numbers, tracks the market and can value a home correctly.
