621 Grinnell Street - Hidden Old Town Bungalow - Key West

I have written many times about some of the hidden houses of Key West, those special places that are rarely seen by most locals and tourists.  Often they are located on one of our slow lanes which are mostly used by people that live there.  Some are little houses tucked behind a larger house.  Others are only accessible by a walking easement. The bungalow at 621 Grinnell Street is hidden, to be sure, but it has off street parking that could accommodate two cars, a yard large enough for a good sized pool, and it is in move-in condition right now. Oh, yeah, it is plenty quite back there as well.

The listing Realtor describes 621 Grinnell Street thus:

"True Key West Classic Conch Home awaits your personal touches. You will find a taste of Old Key West! Lovely wrap around screened porches to relax and share a quiet moment. This home boasts 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, lovely open floor plan that makes it perfect for entertaining. Gracing this home are beautiful Dade County Pine wood floors that bring warmth and character to every room. Covered Lanai, Jacuzzi, possible room for a small pool with a pool house already in place. There are 2 off-street parking spaces. X500 Flood zone."

 The main floor bath is something that you will either love or hate. I love it. It is, to me , what living in Key West is all about. Oh, there is an outdoor shower as well. It has privacy walls, too.

 There are two or three bedrooms upstairs depending on how you use the spaces.

Guest cottage

 The Monroe County Property Appraiser says the house was built in the 1920s and that it has1562 sq ft of living space under air.  The living space includes the small guest cottage with bath. The irregularly shaped lot is 3293 sq ft which includes the driveway. The house sits on a 50' x 50.25' section and the driveway makes up the balance of the lot. The driveway is not an easement. Building permits show that the house was updated in 1995 and 1996. The interior finishes reflect the styles that were popular at that time. (There isn't any granite nor stainless steel. Everything looks very clean and well maintained.)  CLICK HERE to view a slide show of more photos I took of this great property.
