715 Frances Street - Classic Three Bay Eyebrow House - Old Town - Key West

715 Frances Street - Old Town - Key West

Just listed, but not by me, 715 Frances Street, in Old Town Key West. This classic three bay eyebrow house was built circa 1895. I found an old black & white photo of the house taken in 1965. Compare the old look to the new color photo. Not much difference, and that's why old homes in Key West are truly treasured.

The house at 715 Frances Street sits close to the street which means there is room in the ample backyard to build a new pool and to create a lovely garden. The listing Realtor describes the property this way:

"Adorable historic home on prestigious Frances Street in Old Town Key West. Beautifully restored 2 bedroom Eyebrow house with high ceilings, Dade County Pine walls, wood floors, and nicely preserved original features; leaded glass windows and historic staircase banister. Large bedrooms accommodate a king size bed. Nearly 6000 square foot lot is an open canvas for the next owner. Room for pool or additions. Wonderful outdoor lanai area flows directly to living spaces to create a special indoor/outdoor living experience. Downstairs dining room could easily be converted to third bedroom or downstairs master suite. Off-street parking, great front porch and tropical breezes. A Wonderful Historic Treasure in The Heart of Old Town Key West."

The ultimate Florida room - you've just gotta love this space

Plenty of room for a pool

The house has 1536 sq ft of living space on two floors. The house sits on a 63' x 93' (5859) sq ft lot. There is plenty of room in the rear to add a pool and garden area. I think there is room to add onto the house to add a third bedroom as well.

The house sits across the street from the Key West cemetery. There is no parking allowed on the opposite side of Frances Street. Most of the neighboring properties are single family homes. The net result is the neighborhood is one of the quietest in town.
