For a variety of reasons, a townhouse or villa may be a plausible answer to ‘what’s next?’ Whether you want to lock-up and take-off for a well-deserved romp around the globe… or eliminate entirely the hassle of maintaining a large home ( and grounds!)… both can offer you freedom, without catapulting you into quarters of claustrophobically minimal dimensions. If you’re looking for independence and elbow room … and a condo seems a bit confining… a townhouse might be the answer. In both Coral Gables & South Miami there are several in the works – some in the development stages (having already broken ground, or about to)… others ready for occupancy. They run the whole gamut, with some available for under $500,000. The cream of the crop may well run from $1.2 million to nearly $2 million. Some are located in more commercial settings with easy access to shops, dining and transportation… Others are situated in absolutely charming residential settings. Elevators, private garages, butler pantries, fireplaces, and a summer kitchens … are among the selling points that many offer. Many have abundant outdoor space: terraces, balconies … and elegant, simplified luxury. There’s a smattering of them in Coral Gables , Coconut Grove, South Miami & Pinecrest… All adding a lifestyle option to what was previously limited to single family homes and condo living. In Coral Gables you have: Venetian Coral Gables www.venetiancoralgables.com, Old Spanish Village www.oldspanishvillage.com(both preconstruction); Valencia Gardens (currently under construction); Almeria Row, Casa Valencia, Valencia Grande, Villa Alhambra, Bermuda Village, Riviera Town Villas and Deering Bay. In Coconut Grove you have Cloisters on the Bay, & Abitare in the Grove. In Miami you have Bridgepoint . In South Miami you have Oaklane (under construction) and Pine Manors. And in Pinecrest you have the French Village. Contact us for any further information of moving to South Florida. Whether as a vacation destination, investment opportunity or lifestyle choice… at whatever point you’re ready to spend more time traveling and relaxing (and not maintaining an older house and grounds)…: Miami has answers beyond the confines of a condo, and the townhouse is a viable option for many. www.MiamiRealEstateCafe.com For more information on Miami’s townhomes, please give us a call : Alexandra Restivo restivo.a@ewm.com or Vicki Restivo restivo.v@ewm.com
