Every once in awhile there’s a great find, worth mentioning. It has been a while since I’ve come across something this exquisite and this well-priced in the Gables! TWO STORY …PRICED TO FLY… elegant and completely renovated … $299,000! It’s a European-style 2 bedroom 2.5 bath TWO STORY corner townhouse in the heart of Coral Gables… at 260 Majorca Avenue in Coral Gables… near the city’s pedestrian hub. Updated from top to bottom, this property has two balconies with wrought iron rails that overlook the private downstairs garden … (surprisingly private and beautifully landscaped). This is an immaculate, turn key property… To say that it is exquisite is an understatement! Living spaces flow.
.. with a well-designed… open floor plan. It is “comfortably elegant and welcoming”… a great starter home or pied-a-terre right smack in the center of the Gables.
Every corner, nook and cranny was designed to be ulitilized and enjoyed. Bedrooms are both upstairs… each with their own bath. There’s an additional guest bath downstairs. Light, bright, airy. It has been listed by Jorge Blanchard and Maria Mayoral, and it was just reduced $100,000 below the original list price! If you want something in the Gables, this may be worth seeing.
It is just up the street is the bustling heart of Coral Gables, with restaurants, shopping, art galleries, cultural happenings, open air markets, mingling and people watching.
And the first time we stepped foot inside, Alexandra and I fell in love with it… and I’ll tell you, we literally wanted to move right in!
