Nine months ago I first wrote about
1309 Grinnell Street which is located in the tony
Casa Marina Area of
Key West when it was being offered as a fixer-upper. It went under contract the first week it was listed. The new owner is a local contractor that totally renovated this home which is now offered for sale at
$1,599,000. The listing Realtor describes the property as being a...
"Complete renovation in the Casa Marina! X zone.Beautiful large front covered
porch poolside, with new pavers for zero maintenance. Decking off the kitchen to
enjoy your meals cooked with new Kenmore Pro Series appliances.Downstairs Master
bedroom and bath has new imported designer tile and vanity. Upstairs is a 2nd
Master bedroom and bath,large walk in closet, and vaulted ceilings.New Oak
flooring,drywall, and paint throughout. Custom built interior doors and wood
work. Upstairs guest bedroom connects to a third bathroom, with a marble
designer floor, new plumbing, fixtures,and a cast iron tub. High efficiency a/c,
upstairs and down.There is a new metal roof, Miami Dade impact resistant doors
and windows, electric service, wiring and lighting. House has new Hardi Backer
siding, fascia, decking,fencing, and more. Off street parking too!"
When I passed through the entry gate I was immediately taken by the lagoon style pool and newly landscaped yard that gave the house a presence it previously did not have. The stage was set for something quite different than existed before. New slider doors open out to from the living area to the cool pool. Since most Key West houses are reversed with public rooms in the rear to provide pool views, it's appropriate that this home has its living area up front to look out at the pool located in the front yard.
This new house is anything but formal. The combined living, dining, and kitchen areas are designed and outfitted for Keys casual living. The living area has just a bit of separation from the dining and kitchen area. An extra wide opening from the kitchen allows the chef to be a part of whatever is going on inside this area as well as to provide a view out to the pool. The laundry area is located just off the kitchen. The guest bath is tucked away off to the side. Several rooms in the house have the sliding wood doors made especially for this home.
The master bedroom and en-suite bath are located at the rear of this home. Impact glass doors open out from each of these rooms to the south side deck that runs the length of this home. Similar doors open out from the dining area. The shower in the master bedroom provides a means of quick escape to get an all over Key West tan to the private outdoor area. I know a lot of my older customers favor first floor master bedrooms. This obviates the need to sell and buy a new place when climbing stairs becomes a chore. And when you're young, you can step out and take a skinny dip just before you hit the hay.
There are two bedrooms and two baths on the second floor plus an extra large second floor sitting area. I am sure you have noticed the new wood floors and sharp baseboards and trim evident throughout the house.
