1410 Grinnell Street - Casa Marina Area - Key West - Short Sale


Just listed by Preferred Properties Key West, that's where I work but this is not my listing, 1410 Grinnell Street in the Casa Marina Area of Key West. This 1104 sq ft home is currently configured as a two bedroom home with a pool and off street parking. It is a Short Sale and is offered at $435,000 or $394 per sq ft for a great Casa Marina location.

The listing Realtor describes 1410 Grinnell Street thus:
"Great potential in Casa Marina neighborhood. Short sale listing in need of some TLC. CBS structure with good square footage. Former 3/2 converted to 2/2. New hurricane grade windows. Small pool in private back yard. Nice gardens and foliage surround the property. Not a drive by... once behind privacy fence great potential for the right Buyer."

The house was built in 1949. I found the black and white photo above that shows how it looked in 1965.  Just below is a photo of how it looks today.  The house sits on a 3572 sq ft lot (45' x 80'). The yard is now lush with trees and tropical foliage. The pool is in the rear. A new owner may want to clear out decades of vegetation and create new outdoor spaces. The house was originally a three bedroom. Two of the bedrooms at the rear were combined into a larger master suite. A new owner could convert the space back to three bedrooms but a new owner might want to do some significant changes to the property as well. Many of the homes in this area are much more expensive. This house sits on a small lot compared to most in the area. I think any money spent on improving this property would benefit a new owner in the years to come.

With the expenditure of some new money couple with some creativity and hard work, a new owner, maybe you, can give this Mid Century home a new lease on life.
Higg's Beach is a couple of blocks away
