1411 Olivia Street - The Meadows Area - Key West

Key West is known for its love affair with old houses.  Some places are big; some are small; some are ornate; some are droll; some are expensive; and most others are more expensive! Some homes are full time-residences and others are part-time places where owners hope to retire to in the not so distant future.  Some places are fixer-uppers and others are done to the hilt. Some places historic but a few places are relatively new. It is, however, the older homes that most would-be new buyers seek. The home located at 1411 Olivia Street in Key West is listed by Preferred Properties Key West, that's where I work but this is not my listing.  The listing Realtor describes this home thus:

"This charming Key West home is located in the Meadows area of old town. A vintage iron gate and a wide, sunny front porch offer a welcome entry to the house. Inside are beautiful wood floors, high ceilings and bright rooms. In addition to the two bedrooms and two baths, there are two loft bedrooms not included in the square footage. The Florida room opens through a wall of glass doors to the bricked patio and garden which includes an outdoor shower. The patio area is fenced and gated and very private. This is a must see for those wanting historic charm in a lovely setting."

 I found this black and white photo below (taken in 1965) that has the notation the house was built circa 1926.  I looked in the Sanborn Fire Maps which show the house existed in 1912. The prior Sanborn Map was done in 1899 which suggests the house was built sometime between those years.

The house has 1334 sq ft of living space on one floor which includes two bedrooms and two baths. The listing Realtor notes the house has additional living space in the second floor loft which is not counted as actual living area. 

 1411 Olivia Street is offered at $629,000.  CLICK HERE to view the Key West mls database and listing photos. Then call me, Gary Thomas, 305-766-2642 to schedule a private showing of this colorful Key West property.  I am a buyers agent and a full time Realtor at Preferred Properties Key West.
