821 Southard Street, Key West, Florida - 1965
821 Southard Street, Key West, Florida - March 2012821 Southard Street has a very calming affect on me each time I show the house. It reminds me of my grandmother's house. It is to comfy-cozy. It sits high up off the ground. The house sits back from the street protected by a white picket fence. Two giant palms flank the house to provide cooling shade in the hot afternoon sun. The porch runs the width of the house where an owner could sit and watch the world pass by.
The front door enters directly into the living room which runs from front to the back of the house. Every time I have been to this home the rear French doors have been opened and my view has always been drawn to the beautiful rear deck. The master bedroom is located on the right side of the house. A second bedroom is on the left rear side, just off the dining area. The kitchen is located at the right rear. The kitchen has large windows that look out onto the covered rear deck. If I owned this home, I replace the windows and create a serving bar type of arrangement. The current owner recently added a second bath in the rear bedroom located just off the rear deck. This bedroom has a tall vaulted ceiling and might make an excellent master suite.
Rear Bedroom with vaulted ceiling
821 Southard Street is a 3 bedroom 2 bath house of 1526 sq. ft. that sits on a large 5400 sq. ft. lot (54'wide x 100' deep). The present garden is lush and dense. There is a great view of the steeple of a nearby church and the giant trees in other yards create a grand view from the covered rear deck. There is no pool, but there is plenty of room to install one. There is a small cottage at the right rear of the garden. Perhaps that cottage could be transformed into a cabana or a poolside bar. Oh, and look at the photos below. If you used the rear bedroom as the master suite, wouldn't it be just wonderful to wake up in the morning and look out to that garden.

"Picture perfect one level cottage with three bedrooms, three baths on a large 5400 square foot lot with offstreet parking. This very charming home is filled with light and features an open floor plan with tall ceilings and wood floors. The very large living/dining room opens through french doors to a covered porch, deck and generous sized back yard with plenty of room to add a pool.
