Two New Listings In North Coconut Grove

First of all, I would like to thank everyone who came out to our Open House yesterday on Hardie Avenue.  We had over 50 people stop by!

In other news, I have two great new listings in North Coconut Grove.  They are both priced under $700,000 which if you saw yesterday’s post is a price range that has been very active lately in Coconut Grove.

NEW Foreclosure On The Market In South Coconut Grove, $874,900/$201 PSF

Pomona1

This foreclosure came on the market just hours ago and is sure to be gobbled up quickly.  I got the lockbox number as soon as I saw it come on the MLS and took some clients over this evening to preview it (yes, at 6:00 pm on a Saturday night).

Pomona2

Pomona4

Here is a run down on the house.  It is a large house on a large lot.  It is located on the better side of Pomona Avenue (closer to LaPlaya).  It features 4,352 square feet of living space on a large lot of 14,400 square feet.  It has 5 bedrooms, 4 baths and a nice pool.  The floors are nice, the layout is a bit challenging, there is basically no kitchen (the previous owners took the cabinets and appliances).  Most importantly, the price per square foot is $201.00 – which is $59.00 a foot less than the average in Coconut Grove this year.

Call me if you are interested in seeing it, I already have the lockbox code and it will be very easy to show.  My cell is 305.342.1623, or send me a note here.

Broker is Keller Williams.

This Old Spanish home recently came on the market in North Coconut Grove.

I was in the house last week and it is charming, in good condition and shows very well.  The owners are asking $773,000.  At this number it is not a steal, but it is a good house for a good price and worth checking out if you are looking in this neighborhood.  For more pictures of 2521 Inagua, click here.

The house features 3 bedrooms, 2 baths in the main house and 1 bedroom, 1 bath in the guest house.  The house has a total of 2,613 square feet on a 6,556 square foot lot.

The competition for this house would be my listing at 2322 Lincoln Avenue priced at $799,000 which is a tad larger, features a 12,800 square foot lot and a pool, but needs total renovation on the interior.  For more pictures of 2322 Lincoln Avenue, click here.

Another house that is similar in price, size and area is 2410 Swanson Avenue which is a 2,200 square foot house on a 6,628 square foot lot with 3 bedrooms, 3 baths and a pool.  It is listed at $699,000 (just reduced by $50,000) and is in good condition.  The broker for this house is Prestige Homes.  For more pictures of 2410 Swanson Avenue, click here.

If you are interested in seeing any of these properties, I would be happy to arrange a showing for you.  Just give me a call at 305.342.1623 or send me a note here.

Rare Opportunity at 3625 Leafy Way

A new property has come on the market today on Leafy Way (3925 Leafy Way).  For those of you not familiar with the streets here in Coconut Grove, Leafy Way is a small private road off of Douglas Road.  The street is known for its dense foliage covering every inch of the sky.
