Bank Owned - Key West - Waterfront - Affordable

How about my title for today's blog "Bank Owned - Key West - Waterfront - Affordable"? Four things that entice many buyers to take a further look. They included bank owned - the owner is a local bank. Key West - just about every body's dream place to live. Waterfront - okay, the house is located on a Key Haven canal but it provides quick access to the big ocean. And, yes, it is affordable by Key West standards - priced at $599,000.

This bank owned property is located on Key Haven at 3 Aster Terrace. The house has four bedrooms, three baths, a big new kitchen, and lots of living space. The house is 2200 sq ft and sits on a large 6,000 sq ft lot. This is how the listing Realtor describes the property:

"Bank Owned! Large Key Haven home with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, with one bedroom and bath that could be used as a mother-in-law unit or lockout. Renovated in 2007, some of the upgrades include kitchen with stainless appliances and maple cabinetry, new plumbing, new electric, impact resistant windows, and recessed lighting. Excellent floor plan with living room, den, dining room, and Florida room. Key Haven is a waterfront community located just minutes away from Old Town Key West. Excellent boating access to Gulf and Atlantic waters."

The house was freshly painted when I showed it in was first listed in September. The electricity was turned on and the house has not sat festering away like so many properties owned by the big banks that are too big to fail and too big to care.

There is a cute little front yard complete with palm trees, picket fence, grass, and off street parking. The rear deck (canal side) needs a little landscaping, but that could be a great weekend project for the new homeowner. The house appeared to be in move-in condition. This property is priced at $599,000 or $265 per sq ft.

3 Aster Terrace - Key Haven Canal Property - Key West

Just listed, but not by me, 3 Aster Terrace in Key West's bedroom community of Key Haven. This is the area where many of the local Key West business owners and professionals live. Just about every house is located on a canal. And so it is with 3 Aster Terrace. Most of the houses were constructed in the 60's and 70's and many of those have been renovated. A large number of new "showy" homes were built at the north end of Key Haven at the beginning of this decade. Those houses are large and grand and pretty pricey. If you watched The Real World on MTV during 2005 you would know that the house the kids lived in was located on Key Haven.

I showed 3 Aster Terrace last week, the same day it was listed. The place is very clean for a Bank Owned property. The listing agent told me the bank is going to do some additional painting to spiff the place up a bit more. The house was built in 1960 and renovated in 2007. The listing Realtor describes the house this way:
"Bank Owned! Large Key Haven home with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, with one bedroom and bath that could be used as a mother-in-law unit or lockout. Renovated in 2007, some of the upgrades include kitchen with stainless appliances and maple cabinetry, new plumbing, new electric, impact resistant windows, and recessed lighting. Excellent floor plan with living room, den, dining room, and Florida room. Key Haven is a waterfront community located just minutes away from Old Town Key West. Excellent boating access to Gulf and Atlantic waters."
