The house has been featured in Architectural Digest, the Wall Street Journal, the Miami Vice movie, and I recognized it in a recent episode of our very own Burn Notice on television. There are 5 bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms, tropical pool and spa, a guesthouse, and a spectacular jungle-like lot that’s just under an acre in size.

The truly unique feature of this one-of-a-kind property is the upstairs open-air living space. There’s a kitchen, bar, dumb waiter (food elevator), gigantic seating areas, dining area, bathroom, and tanning terraces.

The property had been listed by Rex Hamilton and closed for $3,100,000 on April 24. Great jobs, Rex and Riley! View the details here.

Although it isn’t literally within it, the house sits just at the entrance to one of the most private and historic gated communities in the Grove, Ye Little Woods. The oldest home there was built in 1902 for William Vogleson Little, developer of the community. Other well-known past residents include Gene and Barry Massin, father and son artists and Baron Joseph “Sepy” Debronyi, the self-proclaimed bon-vivant and playboy who hosted his final bacchanal in April, 2010 and whose home is now for sale.

As well as the Baron’s home there are 4 other homes for sale now. You will see details of them all here.

New to the market is another spectacular home built in 1920 at 3948 Little Avenue, offered fully furnished for lease at $19,500 a month.

To refresh your memory, this place was built in 2007 and the hand-crafted attention to detail gives it the character of  an older, more established home. It’s over 11,000 square feet of living space with 6 bedrooms, 6 full bathrooms and 2 powder rooms, billiard room, meditation room, guest suite, 3-car garage, and much much more, sitting on a lot that’s over half an acre.

The closing is expected soon, and I’ll post the selling price when that happens.

The latest sale of a super-luxury waterfront home in Coconut Grove was 3590 Crystal View Ct in the north Grove 2 months ago. It was listed for $11,900,000 and closed for $9,000,000, $739 per square foot.

There are currently 8 Coconut Grove homes on the market asking over $5,000,000. One of them is 3650 Klebba Lane, an original Walter DeGarmo design constructed for the pioneer Hugh Matheson family in 1926. It’s been extensively updated to today’s standards, but retains the stamp of those old Grove estates.

When you think Coconut Grove, think of me. This is where I live, work, play, and have been selling real estate since 1989. Questions? Ask me by calling 305 794.6570 or leave me a note. I have the answers to all your Coconut Grove real estate needs!

This home is stunning. The kitchen and family/great room are both huge and look out to the pristine pool and spa, as well as the loggia with its built in gas grill.

Also on the ground floor are the formal foyer and living room, and one of the most beautiful dining rooms I’ve seen.

The single downstairs bedroom is currently used as an office, and has built-in work spaces for two, as well as a Murphy bed hidden in the custom designed cabinetry.

Three other bedrooms are upstairs, including the master suite with dressing area, separate bathrooms and walk-in closets, jacuzzi tub, and a patio overlooking the pool area below.

Cocoplum is a Coral Gables gated community on the bay just south of Coconut Grove. Accessible by car through the single guarded entrance on Cartagena Circle, it is an isolated and insulated enclave of homes with its own marina.

Begun in the late 1970’s, it has grown into an exclusive community of over 400 homes, many of them with direct access to Biscayne Bay.  The Cocoplum Yacht Club has a full-service marina from which several big-game fishing tournaments are held annually, marking it as a world-class facility.

Cocoplum maintains 24-hour manned security at its entrance guardhouse as well as roving patrols offering residents complete peace-of-mind. Community services include a large clubhouse with pool, playground, state-of-the-art gym, tennis courts, basketball court, and a half-court for children. There are beautifully maintained gardens and landscaping throughout the community. You can check out all Cocoplum amenities here.

As of the beginning of July the average selling price for non-waterfront property in Cocoplum is $2,133,333 or $332 per square foot. For the same period, waterfront homes average $2,865,000 or $511 per square foot when sold.
