For someone who sells very special homes in historic areas including Coral Gables, Coconut Grove and South Miami it may seem counterintuitive that almost 30% of my present listings are new construction. I took each of the listings for individual reasons but they all shared the potential to make homebuyers elated with brand new amenities and terrific locations.
New and Improved
So Marketing 101 dictates that all things NEW have consumer allure. This holds true in new home construction as well. Just think of built in amenities such as storm resistant windows and doors (better yet – think of the huge insurance savings!) and the appeal of NEW, state of the art appliances waiting for your inauguration.
Coconut Grove Villas
A well known developer, Design Consultant Group, created two fabulous residences on the most picturesque street in Coconut Grove. Villa Fontana and Villa Verona are both Tuscan-inspired but unique in their designs. They both provide the marriage of old world charm with new world conveniences, not the least of which is the convenience that someone else has not broken and patched a single thing in these luxury homes!
South Miami
A few minutes away you’ll find my South Miami beauty, located on a nice size lot with easy access to main Miami streets and highways. If I had to pick one my favorite things about this house (I have several) it would have to be the European courtyard concept at the heart of the home. It makes this home distinctive.
Distinctive. That’s what each of three listings is. None of them is cookie-cutter – such a downfall for some new builds…They are in deed new construction in established neighborhoods. Best of both worlds, if you ask me.
