High Pines beauty sold: $505,000

This property has closed for $505,000.  Original asking price was $650,000.  Easy-living High Pines doesn’t get any better than this.  Enjoy life in the heart of one of the most desirable neighborhoods in South Florida.  Quiet tree-lined streets, families strolling with their kids and dogs, this is Florida the way it used to be.  This home features a large, enclosed back yard with porch perfect for family life.  Walk to Sunset Elementary, one of the finest schools in the area.  And the restaurants and shops of South Miami are just two minutes away.   This three-bedroom, two-bath home is situated on a huge 12,500 square foot lot with back yard completely fenced in.  Features open living room, dining room, kitchen and two-car garage complete with storage loft.

If you’d like to see this fine home or would like information about any South Florida real estate, especially South Miami and Coral Gables, you can reach me at bishopric.r@ewm.com or 305-401-8058.

Finally–new kitchen renovation finished!

After three and a half months, a wall of Miami-Dade County building department permits, dozens of various workers wandering in and out, eating off paper plates with plastic forks out of cardboard boxes, the kitchen is finished. My life has sort of come to a halt in the last few weeks trying to get this job done. That, and a bad bout of illness, has kept me away from the blog for a while. Assuming we pass our plumbing, gas, electrical and mechanical/ventilation and then the master permit inspections in a few days, my life will get back into order enough to get back to somewhat regular blogging. I’m going to start covering South Miami more extensively–what’s happening, local events, local politics, restaurants, etc. So at least once a week I’ll be out there with my trusty camera seeing what’s going on and reporting about it.
