Own a Piece of Old Coconut Grove Grove!

I previewed a home at 3991 Kumquat Avenue on Wednesday that is a quintessential “old Grove” house. There are so few of these left in any condition, and this one has been beautifully updated without losing the inherent charm and character of its 1935 construction.

From the street your view  is completely blocked by thick foliage and you can’t really be certain there’s anything behind the gate. Once you enter, though, you’re in a jungle-like lot with towering oak trees,banyans trees, ferns, palms, heliconias, crotons, and you name it!

The main house has two bedrooms, each with its own gorgeous bathroom. The gourmet kitchen, dining room and living room all share one large and airy space with a fireplace, French doors across the entire back of the house, built-in bar, and a skylight. The whole house is covered by a tremendous vaulted roof/ceiling.

The backyard is an entertaining oasis with a huge covered gazebo under an old banyan tree. Following a path from the main deck takes you to one of the coolest guesthouses around! It’s another big open room fitting a seating and dining area and a very comfortable bed facing a large TV. There’s a full bathroom and kitchenette, and tons of storage.

The features of this very special home listed by Coldwell-Banker are as follows:

• Asking price: $795,412
• 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms in the main house
• One bathroom in the guesthouse described above
• Square feet: 2048
• Lot size: 14,488
• Built in 1935

Boater’s Alert! $100 a Month Dockage With This Bayfront Condo

I recently wrote about my favorite small condominium in Coconut Grove at 1600 S. Bayshore Lane. I mentioned at that time that I would be listing a one bedroom apartment there soon, and it is now on the market.

1600 South Bayshore Lane Condos in the north Grove is a nine-story building with only 32 units, four per floor. There is rarely anything for sale here as owners tend to hang on to them. The apartment I am selling is 8-D, one floor below the penthouse level, and has a spectacular view across the bay, even though it is on the northwest corner of the building. In fact, every unit there has a great view!

This building is really unique. It’s super pet-friendly, has individual storage for each unit on the ground floor that is air conditioned, and has plenty of secure parking for owners and guests. There is a community room with a full kitchen by the barbeque area and bayside pool. To me the biggest draw is the dockage for residents that goes for only $100 a month, no matter the size of the vessel. There’s about 6 feet of draft at low tide and a channel out to the deeper water to the bay. Several sailboats are docked here.

The D line is the only one bedroom apartment in the building, but it’s only slightly smaller than the C line, a two bedroom layout. So, it has one large bedroom with floor-to-ceiling windows. The hallway to the full bathroom is lined with closets anyone would crave, and there’s a full-size washer and dryer.

This apartment has been completely reconfigured and renovated, opening the kitchen to the living and dining rooms creating a “great room” atmosphere for true Florida living. The balcony is large and deep with plenty of room for whatever your heart desires. Table and chairs? Chaise lounges? You name it!

The Renovation of an Older Center Grove Townhouse Makes It Totally 2010!

I was previewing new listings the other day and stopped in to see a new Coldwell-Banker listing at Gemini VII on Bird Avenue and McDonald Street. This is an older development built in 1979 with a pool and small community garden and over the years I’ve seen most of the 16 units.

This one at 3174 Bird Avenue is located in the back part, which is to me the better location since it doesn’t face the parking lot. I was amazed at the thoughtful renovation this owner did on the place and felt it needed some more exposure! At an asking price of $229,500 – $187.50 per square foot – it’s a beautiful apartment for a single person or a couple.

An Impressive New Listing on Inagua Avenue

One of the most impressive homes I’ve seen recently is this mini-estate at 2520 Inagua Avenue in the North Grove. It has a flowing and open plan and is filled with natural light through the walls of impact glass doors and windows. The design, by the owner/builder, is really interesting and the craftsmanship is impeccable.

The kitchen has Italian cabinetry, white quartz countertops and Miele stainless steel appliances. One feature that I found very unusual and effective is a glass wall partition that is a quiet cascade of water blocking the view from the entryway to the kitchen.

The one bedroom, one bathroom guest quarters are over the two car garage in the back of the beautifully landscaped property with the large pool and outdoor kitchen.

Included in the home are:

• 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms
• 3,802 square feet inside
• 6,339 square feet of land
• 2 car garage
• 1/1 guesthouse
• pool, jacuzzi, out door kitchen
• Listed at $1,749,000 ($460 per square foot) by EWM
