Mid-century charm in the heart of South Beach

The Jeffersonian, a 4-story condominium complex built in 1965, stands as a testament to mid-century design in the vibrant City Center neighborhood of Miami Beach. With 50 units ranging from cozy studios to spacious two-bedrooms, this boutique building offers residents a slice of South Beach living just steps away from the iconic Lincoln Road. The Jeffersonian's location puts residents at the epicenter of Miami Beach's cultural and entertainment scene, while still providing a tranquil retreat from the bustling streets outside.

Modern updates meet classic layouts

The Jeffersonian offers a variety of floor plans to suit different lifestyles and needs. Studios, starting at approximately 400 square feet, provide efficient living spaces perfect for singles or those seeking a pied-à-terre. One-bedroom units range from 430 to 722 square feet, with sale prices around $300,000, offering a bit more room to spread out. For those requiring additional space, two-bedroom units measuring approximately 900 square feet with two bathrooms are available. Many units have undergone significant renovations, boasting modern finishes that complement the building's mid-century roots. Kitchens in updated units feature marble countertops, new appliances, and in some cases, gas range stoves – a rarity in many Miami Beach condos. Polished concrete floors add an industrial chic touch to some apartments, while others maintain a more traditional feel. Large windows allow ample natural light to flood the living spaces, and select units offer balconies or terraces, providing private outdoor areas to enjoy the Miami climate. Corner units are particularly desirable, offering views of the building's lush courtyard garden. Walk-in closets in some layouts provide ample storage space, a valuable commodity in urban living. The open floor plans typical of mid-century design create a sense of spaciousness, even in the more compact units. Some apartments feature separate dining areas, perfect for entertaining or creating a home office space. Central air conditioning ensures comfort year-round, while hurricane shutters offer peace of mind during storm season and potential insurance discounts for owners.

Tropical oasis in an urban setting

The Jeffersonian offers a blend of practical amenities and leisure facilities that cater to the South Beach lifestyle. The centerpiece of the complex is its inviting swimming pool, complete with separate shower baths, providing a refreshing escape from the Miami heat. Surrounding the pool, a beautifully landscaped courtyard creates a serene atmosphere, with lush greenery and comfortable seating areas, including a hammock for ultimate relaxation. For those who prefer two-wheeled transportation, the building offers secure bike storage, a convenient feature for navigating the bike-friendly streets of Miami Beach. An elevator ensures easy access to all floors, while on-site laundry facilities add to the convenience of daily living. The Jeffersonian's parking situation is a notable advantage in a neighborhood where parking can be challenging. The building features gated, covered parking in a secure garage, operating on a first-come, first-served basis. This amenity is particularly valuable given the building's central location and the scarcity of parking in the area. Pet owners will appreciate the building's pet-friendly policy, allowing furry companions up to 30 pounds. This openness to pets is not universal in Miami Beach condos and adds to the community feel of the building. While the Jeffersonian may not offer the extensive list of amenities found in newer, larger complexes, its well-maintained facilities and intimate scale create a comfortable, home-like environment that many residents find appealing. The focus on practical, quality-of-life amenities over flashy extras aligns well with the building's mid-century ethos and its position in the market.

The pulse of South Beach at your doorstep

The Jeffersonian's location in the City Center neighborhood places residents at the heart of Miami Beach's vibrant cultural scene. Just half a block from the famous Lincoln Road, residents have immediate access to a pedestrian mall lined with shops, restaurants, and entertainment options. This proximity allows for spontaneous evening strolls, impromptu dining experiences, and easy access to some of Miami Beach's best people-watching. For daily necessities and gourmet treats, residents are spoiled for choice. Trader Joe's is about a 10-minute walk away, offering a wide selection of specialty items and everyday groceries. The Fresh Market, known for its upscale offerings and local produce, is also within easy walking distance. For those who prefer a more traditional supermarket experience, Publix Super Market on Dade Boulevard is less than half a mile away. Culinary options abound in the neighborhood. From the quick, quality burgers at Shake Shack to the colorful Cuban fare at Playa Cafe, there's something to satisfy every craving. Health-conscious residents will appreciate GOGO FRESH SOBE, offering customizable salads and handmade soups, though it's about a 25-minute walk from home. The neighborhood isn't just about dining and shopping. Cultural attractions are plentiful, with the Bass Museum of Art and the Miami Beach Botanical Garden both within a 10-minute walk. The nearby SoundScape Park hosts outdoor movie nights and concerts, providing a unique blend of nature and culture in an urban setting. For those seeking active pursuits, Flamingo Park is less than a mile away, offering tennis courts, a swimming pool, and various sports fields. The Miami Beach boardwalk and beach are also within easy reach, perfect for morning jogs or sunset strolls. The area's youthful energy is palpable, with a mix of locals and tourists creating a dynamic atmosphere. While the neighborhood can be bustling, especially on weekends, the Jeffersonian's location just off the main thoroughfare provides a buffer from the most intense activity, allowing residents to dip in and out of the action as they please.

Connected to the city and beyond

The Jeffersonian's central location in Miami Beach translates to excellent transportation options for residents. The area boasts a high walk score, reflecting the ease with which daily errands and leisure activities can be accomplished on foot. Many residents find that a car is optional, given the proximity to amenities and public transportation options. For those who prefer two wheels, the neighborhood is very bike-friendly. The flat terrain and numerous bike lanes make cycling a practical and enjoyable way to get around. The building's bike storage facility further encourages this eco-friendly mode of transport. Public transportation is readily available, with several bus stops within a block or two of the Jeffersonian. The bus stop at 17th Street and Jefferson Avenue, less than a minute's walk from the building, serves multiple lines including the M-Civic Center-Miami Beach route and the South Beach Local. These routes connect residents to other parts of Miami Beach and beyond. For longer trips or commutes to downtown Miami, the South Beach Local bus provides a convenient link to the Metromover station at Adrienne Arsht Center. From there, connections can be made to the broader Miami-Dade Transit system. Residents who do own cars will appreciate the building's secure, covered parking garage. This amenity is particularly valuable given the scarcity of parking in South Beach. For trips further afield, major thoroughfares are easily accessible. Miami International Airport is about a 30-minute drive away, while Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport can be reached in approximately 40 minutes, traffic permitting. The combination of walkability, public transit options, and parking availability makes the Jeffersonian an excellent choice for those who value flexibility in their transportation choices.
