918 Southard Street - Old Town - Key West

Just listed by Preferred Properties, that is where I work but this is not my listing, 918 Southard Street Unit #204 in Southard Square Condominiums. The listing Realtor describes the property like this:

"Southard Square Condominiums are the best kept secret in Key West. Centrally located in the heart of Old Town, the lush tropical grounds and over-sized swimming pool are immaculately maintained. Unit 204 is a two-story condo with two balconies overlooking the pool and grounds. The eat-in kitchen, living room and guest bath are located downstairs. The master suite has a private bath, adjoining sitting room/study and a sunny porch. This listing will listed for a short time only. Act now."

Southard Square Condominiums was built in 1987. It is a good, stable condominium community which has mostly owner occupied units. There are a few units that are rented as vacation rentals (as is unit 204). The listing agent tells me the association is healthy (meaning there have not been foreclosures or short sales which have plagued other condo developments in Key West.

The club house or community room

There are just 16 units in this phase at Southard Square. The buildings are each a bit different as are each of the units. No cookie cutter community here. The units share a big beautiful sunny pool plus a nice little club house. There is a large wrap around deck to follow the sun or shade. Each unit has an assigned off street parking spot.

Unit #2o4 is located on the second floor of the east building. It has 1200 sq ft of living space on the second floor and third floor combined. The main floor has a guest bedroom and bath located near the front entrance. A hallway leads to the kitchen with extra high ceiling that rises to the roof. The combined living and dining area are at the rear. Sliding doors open onto the covered balcony that overlooks the pool off to west. A beautiful spiral staircase leads to the master bedroom and bath on the third floor. A "bridge" leads from the bedroom area over to a little sitting niche. The bridge looks down onto the kitchen below. A window from the niche also looks down to the kitchen and further into the living area. This place is pretty darned impressive.

The best views, however, are from the decks off the living area and the master bedroom. Unlike some condo complexes (whose names I shall not mention nor infer) with decks that provide no privacy, you can lounge on either deck in your altogether and drink your morning coffee or nurse your favorite adult beverage. The views are so peaceful.
