711 Georgia Street - The Meadows Area - Key West - Bank Owned

711 Georgia Street - The Meadows Area of Old Town Key West
It used to be that potential buyers would ask me if I could find them a good bank owned property and I would tell them there are none. That was then. This is now. There are various kinds of kinds of bank owned properties. Some are real dogs. Some have "issues". And some are sweet deals ripe for the picking. The new listing at 711 Georgia Street is one with only a couple of minor issues and it might just work for you. Read on.

711 Georgia Street is BANK OWNED and it is located in The Meadows Area of Key West. MAP This property was previously owned by a real estate agent and was previously offered in 2006 at $1,199,000. The place had top of the line stainless steel appliances then. Now that the property is bank owned the same property is offered today at $429,000 or $339 per sq ft. The appliances are missing. Other than the missing appliances, everything else about the place looks pretty much the same except that price. It got a whole lot better.

This is how the listing agent describes 711 Georgia Street:
"711Georgia Exceptional 3 bedroom 2.5 bath light filled sancuary on quiet, beautiful tree lined Georgia street. Between Angela and Newton in the prestigious Meadows. Tiffany colored jewel box with a brick drive and white picket fence surrounded by pretty Conch homes and lovely neighbors. Just a short bike ride to Duval Street, historic Old Town, Art District, beaches and Bayview Park. Exquisite use of space. Splendid architectural renovation in 2005. Ambient lighting, stunning gourmet kitchen, gorgeous baths, master bath ensuite with private balcony. Small yard. Impact windows and metal roof. Looks brand new. Centrally located."
There is a lot of "house" in this place. Things are compact but not tiny. The kitchen and livingroom share the main floor where there is an adjacent guest bath. The bedrooms and baths are on floors two and three. The finishes and construction look to be in good order. I did not see any thing objectionable except the missing appliances. There is a good sized off street bricked parking space surrounded by a bright white picket fence. Just beyond the parking area is a private fenced in area that the former owner claimed provided room for a pool. Bring a blow-up pool if you want to have chairs, however. That space is pretty dinky if you ask me. There are plenty of people who do not need a pool but do need a nice house that does not need fixing.

Potential with a grain of salt!

This house is one block off White Street and within easy walking or biking to all of Old Town. This block is really quiet because the adjacent street (Angelica Street) abuts the gated Peary Court Naval property. There is hardly any vehicular traffic. Nothing important happened nearby so you won't be seeing a Conch Train.
