MG Developer recently announced the groundbreaking of the second half of its Biltmore Square community with Althea Row, a limited set of five three-story luxury town houses with over 7,000 square feet, expansive terraces and magnificent loggias situated on the lush tree-lined thoroughfare of Almeria Avenue, one of the most desirable locations in Coral Gables.
Featuring a garden row of four-bedroom town houses with four bathrooms, a powder room and a four-car garage, Althea Row is a tangible representation of Coral Gables architecture from past to present, illustrating a revival of Mediterranean style that punctuates Biltmore Square’s stylish European living.
Designed by María de la Guardia and inspired by George Merrick and architects H. George Fink, Phineas Paist and Richard Kiehnel, the latest development in The City Beautiful brings back the grandeur of luxury urban living, which creates a dynamic destination for local and visitors that like to shop, dine and enjoy the most exclusive country clubs in South Florida.
“Althea Row is our latest development of exclusive town houses for those who want to enjoy the reclusive serenity of a Coral Gables home without the high maintenance expenses of a traditional single-family residence,” said Alirio Torrealba, CEO of MG Developer. “With the addition of Althea Row, Coral Gables gains another quintessential development built to serve buyers that have been seeking lush urban amenities at a short distance, while enjoying the quaint lifestyle of Biltmore Square.”
Distinguishing itself through a gamut of stylish design features that abound throughout the exterior and interior of each town house, Althea Row’s façade is quickly recognized through a set of elegant finishes. Brown clay barrel roof tile and a cast stone cornice overlook the smooth painted stucco of each home, with a cast aluminum balustrade in dark walnut finish and copper lanterns greeting residents with the warmest welcome.
Althea Row’s European motif continues inside with dynamic spaces ideal for gathering friends and family or simply enjoying a secluded natural atmosphere. A modern English island with a custom made stained wood eat-in and stone countertop accentuate the kitchen’s spacious layout, with a modern pull out deluxe microwave drawer designed for elevated convenience. Bathrooms feature high-end fixtures and natural stone floors, with the master bathroom featuring double vanities in stained wood with natural stone countertops and a separate private water closet.
The outdoor spaces of each residence evokes the feeling of living on the Mediterranean coast and offers a relaxing environment that embraces the indoor and outdoor lifestyle that creates the perfect setting for a late summer soirée. Coral stone floors with spacious loggias and courtyards bring abundant natural light and skylight, which highlight living spaces . A wide bi-fold door system that integrates the courtyard with the family room and kitchen create an ideal expanse fit for entertaining, with outdoor walls that maintain the privacy of each space.
In the planning phase and following in line with Althea Row is Biltmore Row, which will join MG’s condominium development Biltmore Parc and the city’s revered Beatrice Row to complete Biltmore Square. These developments are part of MG’s vision of a communal area that reflects the city’s tradition of luxury living. When completed, Biltmore Square will unveil a destination replete with elegant lifestyle amenities.
Prices for Althea Row start at $3.1 million. For sales of MG’s developments, contact ONE Sotheby’s International Realty at 305-460-6719. For more information about MG, visit www.MGDeveloperMiami.com.
