5 Bedroom Penthouse Foreclosure at Imperial at Brickell

Yesterday afternoon, I had the pleasure of viewing a bank owned 5 bedroom penthouse at Imperial at Brickell.  The two-story condo has 5,034 square feet of interior and is the only residence located on the penthouse level.  Furthermore, the terrace is one of the largest that I’ve seen for a Brickell Avenue condo and has an amazing, direct view of Biscayne Bay, Key Biscayne and the South Beach skyline.  It truly is an entertainer’s dream.

A few days ago, the list price was reduced $300,000 to its current asking price of $1.49M, or $296 per square foot.  The unit needs to be renovated considerably.  In fact, if it were me, I would gut the entire condo and start from scratch.  The condo is perfect for someone who is creative and has the vision to transform this space into one of the most spectacular residences along Brickell Avenue.

Without a doubt, this is a rare opportunity at a great price. Contact us at 305-428-3860 if you have any questions regarding this 5 bedroom penthouse or would like to schedule a personal showing.

Imperial at Brickell was completed in 1983 and is located at 1627 Brickell Avenue.

2 Bedroom Miami Foreclosure at Blue Condo – $197,000

A 2 bedroom/2.5 bath foreclosure at Blue Condo came onto the market Tuesday afternoon for $197,000.  I had a few moments in between showing appointments yesterday so I decided to stop by to take a look.  The unit has 1,158 square feet of interior, recessed lighting in the living room and both bedrooms, dark hard wood flooring throughout most of the condo and a balcony with a view of Biscayne Bay from the 16th floor.  All of the appliances, however, are missing so they will need to be replaced by the new buyer.  The condo comes with 1 assigned parking space.  The maintenance fee is $850 per month.

As I mentioned in a previous post, Blue Condo is now Fannie Mae approved so financing is available to qualified buyers.  If you have an interest in viewing this condo foreclosure at Blue Condo or have any questions, give me a call at 786-247-6332.

Blue Condominium 2 Bedroom Sells For $190K

Blue Condominium

A 2 bedroom foreclosure condo at Blue Condominium closed earlier this afternoon for $190,000.  This marks the lowest that a 2 bedroom in the building has ever sold.  Unit 1207 has 1,158 square feet of interior space and a view of Biscayne Bay.  It originally went under contract on August 10, 2009 but the closing was delayed for months due to problems that needed to be corrected with the deed.  Currently, there are twenty 2 bedroom short sales at Blue Condominium, two of which are listed for less than $190K.  Hopefully this recent sale will give banks the kick in the butt to start approving some of the short sales in the building.
