Well, the economy sucks and the Queen needs to downsize and find something a little more affordable. The house at 1215 Royal Street is now Bank Owned.
This is how the listing Realtor describes the property: "Bank owned property. REO. Qualified Buyers may be eligible for Seller financing at below market rates, FHA and other incentives available where applicable. Fast response from bank. Renovated Old Town Key West home, vaulted ceilings, Saltillo tile, and French doors. Private rear deck/pool area. Great curb appeal. Lush tropical plants provide privacy in front; white picket fence gives it that Key West, Conch style look. Front porch was made for rocking. Driveway provides off street parking. Downstairs are two bedrooms and two baths and the large living/dining area which opens up to covered deck and pool. Upstairs is another bedroom, with skylight, bath, and plenty of storage. Walking distance to Duval St, beaches, restaurants, and more!">1215 Royal Street (three blocks east of upper Duval Street) might just work. The house is now BANK OWNED and it is priced at only $627,500 or $456 per sq ft.

The new bank owner even just had the pool resurfaced. I think the Saltillo tiles look okay, but I would remove them and install either a really nice dark hardwood floor or travertine marble and extend the look out to the covered pool deck with either IPE wood or a non-porous tile that looks like travertine. The kitchen is small and needs updating, and so do the baths. They are both functional as is, but a few thousand dollars could make this place look great. I'm not a building or a home inspector, but I didn't see anything here that looks like an expensive fix.
The only negative about this house is the existence of a spiral staircase to the second floor where the third bedroom and bath are located. That's where you make your guests stay. That will assure they don't stay too long!
