A lot of potential buyers of second homes in Key West have a wish list of items they desire which typically includes two bedrooms, two baths, off street parking, a pool, and an ability to rent the place from time to time in order to help make the purchase more affordable. Almost everybody wants a convenient location close to all of the fun things to do in Old Town. Unfortunately for most buyers, there are more buyers than properties and prices are for available properties are priced beyond the comfort level of many.
Every once in a while a property becomes available that has the key features that attracts a large universe of potential buyers. The Shipyard Condo at 204-1 Southard Street is just such a property. The listing Realtor describes this unit as follows:
"One of only three Cottages on the Shipyard Park, this end unit, two story condominium is loaded. It features a huge rear courtyard w/ awning and new entertaining deck. It is located across from the swimming pool and is only a short walk to its parking space.
