House w/pool in Old Town under $449,000




Want to buy a single family home in Old Town with a pool for under $449,000? Call me. Quickly. This little charmer at 722 Galveston Lane is located just two blocks from Duval and across the street from Bill Butler Park. It is a tropical cottage (628 square feet on a 1481 square foot lot) on Solares Hill, the highest point in Key West. This one bedroom, one bath home has a new pool, roof, kitchen, bath. Quaint hideaway, lots of privacy yet within easy walk of all downtown attractions. Nice retreat for selective buyer.

This house was originally priced at $583,000 and the price has been progressively reduced to the new asking price of $449,000 which means the price per square foot is $714. Now that price is still a little high for today's market. But if you consider what you would be getting for your buck (pool, location, old town), it really isn't that high. This is the kind of bargain buyers were searching for three years ago. But today it sits unsold.

The photo to the right shows the pool in the front yard which is enclosed by a fence with lush tropical foliage. There is a walking lane on the north side of the house that provides easy access to Elizabeth Street.

This is not my listing, but I really would like to show it to you if you are looking for a bargain. The present owners bought this little gem in January 2006 and paid $583,000 or $134,000 more than the asking price. Give me a call if you are interested. You may be pleasantly surprised. 305-766-2642.

Just a note: this little bargain went "PENDING" on Friday. That means it is under contract and there are no contingencies left before closing.

This was one heck of a deal. Cute house, good location in Old Town, and it had a pool. All for under $450,000. What are you folks waiting on?
