Jason’s Commentary:
This sale closed last Friday. Jason truly believed in the value of this property and the market did as well. There were 2 competing cash offers!
The value proposition for this Coconut Grove waterfront condo was that it was a boutique building with 10 luxury units right on the Biscayne Bay with a dramatic open water view. Comparable buildings that buyers were considering included (Grovenor House, Residences at Ritz Carlton, Grove at Grand Bay, Residences at Vizcaya). This Beacon Harbour masterpiece inlcluded a 62-foot boat slip and 3 covered parking spaces. The unit was purchased for cash by a European investor.
Jason sold this unit for $565/sq foot. This is the highest priced sale in Beacon Harbour since 2007.

Miami Stand Up Paddle Board
Sunday’s Coral Gables paddleboard adventure from Cocoplum to the Biltmore Hotel…
On Sunday, I had the pleasure of standup paddling from Cocoplum to the Biltmore Hotel via the Coral Gables Waterway. It is a scenic 6-mile journey roundtrip. I finally had to turn around at the Biltmore Golf Course when I realized I was 200 feet from one of the golf holes. It felt like being in an artillery range with approaching airborne golf balls.
Along the way, there was so much to appreciate…

Did you know?
There are boats larger than 60 feet on the Coral Gables Waterway. They must depart and return from the dock during low tide only in order to have clearance under the fixed bridges.
Some photos of the Gables Waterway below…
Boat House on Coral Gables Waterway
Boathouses like the one shown above are plentiful behind the homes of the Coral Gables Waterway. Boat Houses can not be found in any of the other premium Coral Gables Waterfront Communities including (Gables Estates, Old Cutler Bay, Journeys End or Cocoplum).
Java Head boat slip on Coral Gables Waterway
The 125 foot boat slip (photo above) carved out of the Coral Rock was built by the Army Corps of Engineers. The U.S. Navy hid ships designed to hunt German U-Boats in this Coral Gables Waterway boat slip because it was so discrete. The U Boat hunting vessels were manufactured on the Miami River.
Feel free to call me if you would like additional information on areas to explore by standup paddle board in Coral Gables or Coconut Grove.

Vincenzo’s commentary on the dining room photo above…
“In the dining room above, as opposed to the previous image, the artwork was the first item I acquired for the client and in many ways set the theme for the room. In the design the showpiece was placed on the wall opposite to the window creating a counter focal point. Tying in the chosen color palette, the entire color scheme visually flows as the hues are effectively repeated throughout.”

Vincenzo’s commentary…
“Taking inspiration from my client’s passions is helpful in creating a space that they will love. For this open and airy bathroom interior (above) we actually had another piece in mind to be hung above the bathtub, only after learning of the clients love of crocodiles did we decide to select this subtle interpretation. It’s a perfect addition as it merges effortlessly with the overall color scheme. As for the bedroom (below), we inserted a pair of elegant bronze plaques with Indian Sanskrit. They each become a strong focal point when entering the room.”

The privacy is best appreciated from the sweeping patio right off the living room where the bay breeze comforts and the amazing smooth pebble finished swimming pool below beckons, yet other than the canal and island views the neighboring properties all but disappear thanks to clever and well planned landscaping.

The strength is subtle but profound. “Hurricane-proof” is not a term to be used lightly; this home has every upgraded feature needed to weather a storm in comfort and safety; from the reinforced roof to the triple-sliding impact patio doors to many other well planned and executed features.
Truly a home of integrity for the discerning.
It can be yours.
