810 Carey Lane - Old Town - Key West

I have written about Carey Lane before. It is just the dreamiest of the lanes in Old Town. The lane is only one block long and is accessed at Margaret Street across from the north entrance to the Key West Cemetery. The lane is narrow and is enveloped in lush foliage and flowering trees. All of the little houses have white picket fences. There aren't any straggler houses here to bring property values down. Each of the houses is perfect in its own right. The location looks like a Hollywood set designer created it.

Carey Lane - The Dreamiest of the Old Town Lanes

810 Carey Lane

The asking price on 810 Carey Lane just got reduced to $895,000 which means this cutie just became a lot more affordable to a wide universe of potential buyers.

This is how the listing Realtor describes 810 Carey Lane:

“Perfect! Beautifully remodeled cottage on a quiet Old Town Lane with pool and parking. The master bedroom and living room open to a deck, pool and covered dining area. A third bedroom space can be easily created by closing a set of pocket doors in the guest bedroom. The kitchen is a cook's delight with lots of open space, convenient island work space, wolf gas stove, and more. This property has been well cared for and is easy to show.”

The house at 810 Carey Lane is a bit deceptive because what looks like the front entrance is actually a sitting porch located off of the front bedroom. The front porch as an old fashioned swing hanging from the ceiling where you can sit and watch absolutely nothing go by except maybe the clouds. The real entry is located at the rear end of the bricked parking space. That doorway leads you inside and into the beautiful kitchen located in a sawtooth addition. It has a vaulted ceiling which adds lots of volume to the room and makes the room seem so very spacious. That kitchen is so sweet you won’t need sugar to make cookies.

The original front porch is now a sitting porch off the master bedroom. The master bedroom has an adjacent sitting area on the east front of the house. The neatest feature in the master bedroom is the loft above the which has a ladder that hangs from a rope that permits occasional entry for good little boys and girls. When I first saw that space I immediately thought "FORT". What kid doesn't want a FORT? If you have grand kids, this is the place they will always remember. Forever!

The rear bedroom has French doors that open onto the secluded pool. The living room shares the rest of the rear side of the house which is a second sawtooth addition to the main house. The pool and outdoor kitchen are located at the very rear of the property. The area is very private and the only things you see are the blue skies and neighboring trees. Lots of sunshine in this place. CLICK HERE to see the mls listing info page and to view more photos.
