I just reduced the list price of 1460 W 28 Street, a waterfront home on Sunset Island I, from $4.395M to $3.99M. Prices have not been in this range since the early part of the Millennium. This particular property has an open floor plan, classic appointments and abundant natural light. The sellers have plans designed to construct a new home, however the current structure, built in 1947, is charming and beautifully maintained. Either way, the property is a bargain, where else in Miami Beach can one find a home on a guarded island, with 100FT of water frontage for less than $4M? Currently there are four waterfront properties offered for sale on Sunset Island 1. These homes are all located on the same street as 1460 W 28 Street, but the asking prices significantly exceed this property, ranging from $29.9M to $4.5M.
