There is something so comfy-cozy about 821 Southard Street in Old Town Key West. It kind of reminds me of my grandmother's house. It sits back off the street protected by a white picket fence. It sits up high and has a front porch to watch the world go by. There is even a screen door, a site rarely seen in Key West.
Inside the rooms are large. All of them. Except for the kitchen and baths, the rooms are pretty much now as they were when the house was built. The kitchen looks like new cabinets were installed around 20 years ago. I've seen the same cabinets all over town in houses and condos from that era. The stainless steel appliances are new, however. And the maple floors throughout the house add real warmth to the place. But the primary thing you see when you enter the house is that magnificent rear yard. It shouts out to you to come outside!
821 Southard Street is a 3 bedroom 2 bath house of 1526 sq. ft. that sits on a large 5400 sq. ft. lot (54'wide x 100' deep).It is offered at $1,250,000 or $819 per sq. ft. There is a small cottage at the right rear of the garden. The present garden is lush and dense. There is a great view of the steeple of a nearby church and the giant trees in other yards create a grand view from the covered rear deck. There is no pool, but there is ample room to build a very nice one. The setting is just beautiful.
The listing Realtor describes 821 Southard Street thus: "Perfect location with off-street parking! Lovely three bedroom and two bath home with an open floor plan, spacious rooms and wood floors. A generous dining porch overlooks the lush landscaping with plenty of room for a pool. Can also be sold with adjoining properties (MLS #107783 & 107785).

This charming house is perfectly livable as is, but it would just as equally be a good candidate for a superior renovation. It is just that neat a property.
