The really cute three bedroom/two bath Conch house located at
1428 Whalton Street in the
Casa Marina Area of
Key West is offered at just
$949,000. I happen to live across the street (but sadly it is not my listing). Nevertheless, if you are looking for a great house that is move-in ready in a fantastic neighborhood, you ought to take a look. The listing Realtor describes the property this way:
"Wonderful property in the Casa Marina area on the corner on Von Phister and
Whalton Street. Handsomely renovated with hardwood floors and tongue and groove
wood cathedral ceilings, this light filled home is truly a delight. Three
bedrooms, two baths plus a large loft bedroom space or home office give plenty
of room for family and friends. Enjoy a desirable great room with high ceilings
and French doors that open the room completely up to the heated pool, spa and
decks. Charming kitchen centrally located with stainless steel appliances.
Master bedroom has built in custom cabinets throughout. There is a great feel to
this tropical paradise!"
The
house has built in 1949 and was updated in 2000 when the current master
bedroom and bath were added along with the pool. As is the case in
most remodels, just about everything in the old house has been replaced
except the front facade which is still evident today.
The house now has
1386 sq ft
of living space and sits on a good sized lot (47' x 91' or 4265 sq ft)
at the corner of Whalton and Von Phister Streets - one of the prettiest
blocks in the Casa Marina Area. I ought to know, I live across. Most
of the neighboring homes are located on large lots which are
distinguished by ancient mahogany trees, giant palms, and privacy
fences. While the facade of 1428 Whalton Street is visible from the
street, the Von Phister side is entirely private. There you will find
the main entrance to this home along with the landscaped side yard, deck
area, and the inviting pool and spa.
The
living area features a tall vaulted ceiling. French doors open out to
the pool area. The kitchen is filled with light. It is located just off
the great room. The master bedroom has French doors that also open out
to the pool. Unlike a lot of the charming little cottages in Old Town,
this charming cottage home has a large pool that has sunshine and some
shade depending on the time of day.
There
are two additional bedrooms one of which is now used as a playroom. It
is cute beyond words. The other bedroom is fairly good sized: the proof
is that it presently hosts three single beds. The former front porch is
located adjacent to this bedroom. It currently is used as storage space.
That space might be renovated into additional living space or combined
with the current bedroom by a new owner. There is a second floor loft which can provide additional sleeping space or that could be used for a playroom or gentleman's retreat.
1428 Whalton Street is a great house in a really great location.
