The listing agent at Preferred Properties Key West describes
811 Washington Street #102,
Key West,
Florida
this way:
"Beautiful townhouse
located in the Casa Marina. Cathedral ceilings, top of the line
kitchen, large living space are only a few of the amenities of this
home. Three bedrooms / three bathrooms occupy the second and third
floor. Front and back balconies on first and second level, with
beautiful views. Pool and privacy. Perfectly located in walking distance
to beaches, restaurants and Duval Street."
As
soon as you open the front door of this home your eyes are drawn
through the interior toward the pool at the rear. But then you notice
all of the sophisticated living space between the entry and the pool.
Then you realize this is no ordinary living space. The fixtures and
finishes are all high-end and meant to appeal to the discerning buyer.
Notice the over-sized travertine marble floor tiles, crown molding, high
baseboards and decorative trim all set off by the pleasing color
pallet on the walls and ceiling. The Viking stainless steel kitchen was a standard
feature when this home was built because superior was "standard" to this
developer builder.
This
home has a formal entry way with a beautiful staircase to the left. The
first floor powder room is tucked away under the staircase. Two sets
of
French doors at the rear open out from the living area to the rear garden with
private swimming pool with waterfall. High fences, tropical foliage, and palms provide privacy from the other homes.
The
gate at the rear is where the pool boy or other service people can
enter the property from a rear alley. The property on the far side of
the alley is South Park Condominiums. Each of those condos are one
bedrooms. They share a really sweet pool and a very lovely garden. They
won't be disturbing your life.
You enter the
master bedroom off a central hallway on the second floor. This room has a vaulted ceiling and two sets of French doors which open out to a covered rear balcony that overlooks the private pool below. This is a
good spot to catch the famous Key West sunset without leaving the
comforts of home. And it is a good place to watch your children or grand children play in the pool but not get wet yourself.
The
second floor front bedroom has a private bath plus its own covered
balcony. That balcony give s the occupant his or her own private space
to read a book or to contemplate the complexities of the upcoming
election or whatever chaos is occurring in the world beyond Key West.
There is always chaos someplace else. Here, the big deal of the day is
deciding where to go to dinner.
The third floor bedroom (shown above)
has a vaulted ceiling and lots of
living space plus its own private bath.The third floor bedroom runs the
length of the house. Besides the private bath, this room has extra space
for the kids or hobbyist. I have sold four of these town homes over the years. One of my owners has built in twin beds at
the far side of this same room plus a queen bed similar to the one shown
above. If you have got grand kids, they will love this space.
Each town home has an assigned off street parking space. The parking areas are set apart from the street by sidewalk beautifully landscape on either side. The view from the front door and porches are of trees and blue skies.
My buyers love the quality workmanship that went into
these homes and the convenient Casa Marina Area location. They can walk a
couple of blocks over to the Casa Marina Club where two families have
purchased
annual memberships which includes use of the gym, private beach, and
discounts
of food and beverages. They can walk to Louie's Backyard or
Salute on the Beach in a few minutes. They can walk to upper Duval
Street in about seven
to ten minutes and take a cab back home at night. For these buyers its
almost like living in a resort. One of my buyers has retired to their
home. The two other current families come to town as often as possible.
They do not rent their homes, but it is permissible to do so.
