Homes Fit for a King – Top 5 Coral Gables Homes That LeBron James May Have in Mind
If the rumors are true, and LeBron James did in fact make an offer on a luxury waterfront home in Coral Gables earlier today, then chances are that he made an offer on one of the following luxury homes located in Coral Gables:
620 Arvida Parkway – Asking Price $24.5M. 7 Bedroom/7 Bath/3 Half Bath with 16,435 square feet of interior sitting on a 46,609 square foot lot. This luxury mansion comes with 2 staff rooms, formal living room, formal dining room, 4-car garage, generator and swimming pool. While this may be the most expensive home currently available in Coral Gables, it is unlikely that LeBron James would make an offer on it simply because it will not be completed for another year and a half. That is unless, of course, he doesn’t mind being put up in LeBron’s Future Miami Penthouse across the street from the American Airlines Arena at Marina Blue for the next year and a half.
400 Arvida Parkway – Asking Price $20.5M. 8 Bedroom/9 Bath/4 Half Bath luxury home with 13,469 interior square feet sitting on a 41,382 lot. This waterfront mansion has 180 feet of water frontage and includes a dining room, wine cellar, media room, library/music room, garden room, 2 staff rooms, gym, Infinity-edge pool and spa and Chihuly chandelier.
181 Leucadendra Drive – Asking Price $17.9M. 7 Bedroom/7 Bath/1 Half Bath with 14,946 interior square feet sitting on a 48,274 square foot lot. This Mediterranean-style home was completed in 2004 and has 270 feet of water frontage.
5 Tahiti Beach Road – Asking Price $16.9M. 10 Bedroom/9 Bath/0 Half Bath waterfront mansion with 11,533 interior square feet sitting on a 37,374 square foot lot. This Tahiti Beach luxury home has a private beach overlooking Biscayne Bay. My vote is that LeBron James decided to go with this home in Coral Gables. Tahiti Beach is known for having spectacular security. It may not be the most expensive home of the five but security must be at the top of King James’ list when weighing out his options.
200 Edgewater Drive – Asking Price $13.9M. 7 Bedroom/5 Bath/1 Half Bath home with 11,865 interior square feet sitting on a massive 130,680 square foot lot. This historically designated estate has a tennis court, swimming pool, 4-car garage and staff quarters. The lot may be huge but the water frontage is very small.
LeBron James Makes Offer on Multi-Million Dollar Waterfront Home in Coral Gables
He may be in the market for a waterfront home in Miami but we still have LeBron’s penthouse across the street from the American Airlines Arena waiting for him. It would make for a nice party pad or for nights when he’s too tired to make the drive home.
Marina Blue Penthouse Pitch to LeBron James
For those of you who missed it, we were interviewed yesterday afternoon by David Sutta of CBS4. The interview aired on the 6 o’clock news and focused on our recently launched website – LeBron’s Future Miami Penthouse. Showcased his sales skills by pitching the Miami luxury penthouse for sale to LeBron James while I explained the positive impact it would have on Downtown Miami if the Heat organization is able to lure LeBron James to Miami. The featured penthouse is located in the Downtown Miami luxury high-rise called MarinaBlue. The massive condo has 4,198 square feet of interior with 4 bedrooms, 4 baths, an entertainment room and 20-foot floor-to-ceiling glass windows with one of the most incredible views from Downtown Miami.
Introducing Two New Websites by Miami Condo Investments
Miami Condo Investments is happy to announce the launch of two new websites. The first of the two, is a building specific website called Marina Blue Miami Condos. The website has been in the works for the past two months and I’m more than pleased with the end result. The Marina Blue floor plans for each of the residences in the building are included so be sure to check those out. We have plans to launch four similar building specific websites within the next 3-4 months, the first of which will be Marquis.
LeBron James, and the possibility of him signing with the Miami Heat, has been a hot topic as of late in not only the local media but national media as well. If the Miami Heat organization is indeed able to sign King James, the positive economic impact to the city will be tremendous. Furthermore, the growth of Downtown Miami will dramatically be accelerated. In an effort to be first to market and capitalize on this very plausible scenario, we decided to launch LeBron’s Future Miami Penthouse in an effort to not only promote the Marina Blue Miami Condos website but also the 4,198 square foot penthouse currently available for sale at Marina Blue. We felt that the proximity of Marina Blue to the American Airlines Arena and the stunning view that can be enjoyed from the largest residence in the building made it a perfect fit for what we had in mind.
Unrestricted Free Agent, Carlos Boozer, Sells Coconut Grove Mansion for $5.5M
Tuesday afternoon, The Los Angeles Times reported that Carlos Boozer, the unrestricted free agent of the Utah Jazz, recently sold his Coconut Grove mansion for $5.5M. The home was purchased by him and his wife, CeCe, for $7.3M in 2007. The 7,002 square foot Mediterranean-style estate has 5 bedrooms, 5 full baths, 2 half baths and a 3-car garage. Despite the recent sale, there is still speculation that Boozer will sign with the Miami Heat this off-season. Carlos Boozer had also been the former owner of a 25th floor condo at Jade Brickell which he sold for $1,385,000 in 2006.
Marina Blue Condo News
In the video below, we discuss two recent sales that took place last week at Marina Blue. We also mention a Marina Blue website that we’ll be launching later this week. It’s about 90 percent of the way done. Expect four other building websites within the next 2-3 months.
