At a certain point as you drive along Ingraham Highway in the south Grove it actually becomes Coral Gables! This change begins at San Souci Drive, a quiet and lush cul-de-sac with only 11 homes. For those who don’t know, everything south of San Souci and the next street to the south, Prospect Drive, from Ingraham Highway to the bay is Coral Gables! So the very southernmost end of what feels like Coconut Grove is really a small piece of the Gables.
It’s not often one of these homes changes owners, but Sy Greene of Coldwell-Banker has just listed a real beauty at 158 San Souci. It was built in 1994 on a lot of over 11,700 square feet. It has 4,933 square feet of living space with five bedrooms and 5 and a half bathrooms. Listed for $1,650,000, that’s $334 per square foot, a competitive price in today’s market.
There’s another home under contract at 120 San Souci Drive at the moment, too. It is a unique Zen-like home built in 1979 and exquisitely updated by the current owners. It has 4,178 square feet of living area, 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms and balconies off almost every room overlooking the amazingly lush grounds of 12,321 square feet. Originally listed at $1,899,000, the price was lowered to $1,699,000 in February – $406 per square foot – and went to contract the first day of April. I’ll update you on the purchase price when it closes sooon. This home is listed by my fellow EWM Realtor, Carole Smith.
