1501 Pine Street - Bank Owned - Key West - Bargain!

1501 Pine Street - Key West - Bank Owned - $825,000

Just listed, 1501 Pine Street, in the Meadows Area of Key West. This is the last of eight units that were completed in 2007 just as the housing market was tanking. The homes were originally built to sell at $1,895,000 or higher. The buying public did not buy. A local Key West bank ended up owning six of the units. The buying public resisted again and feared future price erosion. Last year I sold the original model unit that had been foreclosed upon by a different lender. Then the remaining bank owned properties started to sell. The two bedroom unit at 1501 Pine Street has never been offered for sale. Now it is offered for sale at $825,000. The listing broker describes 1501 Pine Street like this:

"Last One! This stunning home is part of The Meadows condo association. Newly built in 2007 with top of the line materials and craftsmanship, this home features soaring 11' ceilings in the living area. The kitchen is top of the line with s/s appliances, beautiful granite and solid wood cabinets plus a wet bar in the living room. The bedrooms are en suite with impressive architectural details including crown molding, high ceilings, porches and solid wood doors. A private, gated drive leads to the carport and a separate entry to the pool area. Completely fenced and beautifully landscaped, this home is also perfectly located. Bank Owned and easy to see!"

The home at 1501 Pine Street is part of The Meadows Condominium Association which is comprised of eight homes. Each home is located on a fee simple lot. The association exists to provide access to rear carport parking via gated driveway and management of storm water runoff. Each homeowner pays his or her individual property insurance and maintenance expenses.

The homes were built with top of the line materials and craftsmanship. This home features soaring 11' ceilings in the living area and kitchen. The kitchen has top of the line stainless steel appliances, beautiful granite and solid wood cabinets. A two story turret is an adjunct to the kitchen and is configured as ahome office. There are lots of windows in the kitchen so your cooking will not be a chore but a dream. There is also a wet bar in the living room. The floors on the first floor are travertine marble. The stairway and second floor bedrooms have wood floors. The master bedroom features a second turret. The ceiling is vaulted so that room has an especially large feel, yet the turret makes the space so cozy. The master bath includes a double vanity, shower, Jacuzzi tub, separate water closets, and lots and lots of closets. The master bath is just opulent. I challenge you to find any more luxurious bath in Key West for less than $2 million. You won't find one.

Architectural details including crown molding, extra high baseboards, soaring ceilings, top of the line kitchen and bath cabinetry, the finest Kohler bath fixtures, two story porches and solid wood doors. The wood doors on the first and second floor front are massive and of the highest quality. The 8' sliding doors that separate the living area from the pool are hurricane impact resistant to 155 mph that open wide to let the outside become part of the inside. A private gated driveway leads to the carport and a separate entry to the private pool and spa area. Each home is completely fenced and beautifully landscaped. This home is located on a corner lot so it has lots of separation from the other nearby homes. CLICK HERE to view a slide show of this particular house.
