818 Whitehead Street sits behind these homesJust Listed, but not by me, a stand alone cottage at 818 Whitehead Street. This stand alone condo home is located in a sweet little compound one block off Duval Street. This place is affordably priced at just $274,950. It has one bedroom, one bath, solid wood cabinets, granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances, cathedral ceilings, maple hardwood flooring, two private porches, and there is even a pool. This property is a legal condominium, but it stands by itself in a compound of other small but sharp small houses.
818 Whitehead Street
This house is located at the rear of the compound. Access is through a white picket fence on Whitehead Street that is located about 1/2 block north of the Hemingway House. All of the units were either built new or renovated in 2005. This is a newly built unit from the ground up. It has just 415 square feet. The living room, bath with glass tiled shower, and kitchen with stainless steel appliances occupy the first floor. French doors open off the kitchen to a side porch on the east side. A wooden spiral staircase takes you to the second floor loft style bedroom. That area is open to the living space below so the entire house has a lot of volume. There is a charming small front porch that overlooks the pool. There is even a small white picket fence that encloses this home and lot.

BedroomThe pool is really cute. It isn't big, but it is larger than some I have seen in much larger single family homes in Old Town. All of the grounds are nicely landscaped. The gardens have a sprinkler system that works. I know. I got soaked as I was making my way to the rear. The other houses look very well maintained. 818 Whitehead Street is certainly worth a look if you are a single person or a couple that wants a little Key West getaway. There is no off street parking.
If you are looking for a low priced Key West getaway place, this is certainly worth considering.
