2601 South Roosevelt Blvd No. 501A, Key West, FL - Oceanfront Condominium

 Take a moment and consider waking up to that view each morning. It's possible. Just Listed: 2601 South Roosevelt Boulevard Unit 501A, Key West, Florida. This 980 square foot end unit has direct ocean views from the living room, kitchen and dining area, and master bedroom. The guest bedroom has courtyard views.
I found an artist's conception of the property (below) from the1960s. The front two buildings marked "A" and "B" were built in 1964. The "C" building was built in 1967.  Like any project built fifty plus years ago, Key West By the Sea has changed a bit. The buildings are the same on the outside. There is a second pool in the courtyard behind the "A" building. The landscaping has matured. The interior courtyard still has a big green lawn. There's an orchid garden and a tennis court as well. The difference with the property is how some owners have renovated their units while others remain pretty much unchanged. Unit 501A has not been substantially updated.
The Federal Aviation Administration is funding the installation of all new wind impact resistant windows, doors, sliders, and air conditioning as a part of the airport noise abatement program. This is occur by 2021 and will be at no cost to any owner or to the condominium association. I think this unit looks just fine the way it is. If I bought it, I would wait until the new windows and doors are installed before doing any interior remodeling. In the meantime, I would enjoy the pools, the tennis court, the orchid garden and the sandy beach across the street.
The Key West By the Sea Condominiums is a professionally managed association. Monthly condo fees for this unit are $612.56 and include cable tv, exterminating, building maintenance, all building insurances, common area and pool maintenance, security, and management. Pets are permitted. Rentals are not permitted until a new unit owner has owned the unit for one year. There is on site laundry as not all units have a washer and dryer in the unit. 501A does not have a washer and dryer but one could be installed during renovation. A second bath could also be installed.

Bank Owned Unit - Key West by the Sea

The asking price on this 1221 sq ft three bedroom two bath bank owned condominium unit at Key West by the Sea just got a lot better, just $264,300. The listing agent describes the unit like this:
"BANK-OWNED! Spacious ground floor three bedrooms,two bath unit with private patio ready for your personal touch. The unit is completely tiled. View from living room opens to lawn and pool. Key west By The Sea is located on 8 acres, across from Smathers Beach, with two large swimming pools, one heated, two tennis courts and club house. Just minutes to airport and Duval St."

As foreclosed units go, this falls into the mid-range. It needs some cleaning and a fresh paint job. But other than that, it looks ready to move into. A new owner might want to update the kitchen and replace the tiled floor and maybe landscape the private patio. But neither is necessary.

Patio faces the pool which is about 100 feet away

Units at Key West by the Sea come in various sizes and different locations. This is a ground floor unit at the far north end of the complex. It has south facing views from the living room and two of the three bedrooms. The back (or entry side) is located just off the parking lot. The assigned parking space is just a few feet from the door. You won't get a sunburn in the hot sun or soaked in a rainstorm walking the few feet from your car to your home. And the largest of the two huge pools is located perhaps 100 feet further to the south. If you have a little dog, the location is perfect for you and your pet. You can get your tanning and other business done without having to use the stairs or elevator.

Key West by the Sea is meticulously maintained. There is an on site manager. There are beautiful walkways between the buildings, the pools and other common areas. I spotted hanging orchids all over the place. There is plenty of security as well. All entries are gated and locked. Oh, and the Atlantic Ocean is across the street. World famous Smather's Beach is across the street.
