Surprising find on Brickell Key, Isola Condo
I will admit Brickell Key itself is not my area of expertise - in Brickell I tend to stick to the Miami River and Biscayne/Brickell Ave mid- and high-rises as specialize primarily in new construction leases. However I have a new client who expressed interest in several Brickell area properties including Isola. On the Southern end of Brickell Key Isola was built in the ’90s and thankfully doesn’t appear to be a refugee from the ’60s architecturally like some buildings in Miami.
The unit at Isola, a 1 br, which we visited was quite lovely at ~675sq/ft and an asking price of $1,600/mo. Finished in spanking-new Berber carpet, a marble bathroom, and granite kitchen counter-tops adds up to a decent value for the location. Why do I think it is a deal though? A pure South water view looking out at the Biscayne Key bridge and over the bayside pool deck! Yep, waterfront pool deck.
Of course like nearly every property I show the condo at Isola has all the appliances and conveniences you would expect, this particular unit had older non-stainless appliances but they were shockingly clean. The range must be 10yrs old but I couldn’t see one discoloration on it - whoever cleaned it, I have $20 and oven at The Loft Downtown with your name on it!
Isola also has a large range of amenities including valet, concierge, business center, fitness center, club room with billiard’s table, the aforementioned Biscayne Bay-side pool deck with hot tub, and tennis courts. All of this adds up to a high level of luxury at entry-level prices.
