Back on the Market: 707 Southard Street - Key West

707 Southard Street - Old Town - Key West

The listing Realtor (who is also the owner) describes the cottage home at 707 Southard Street as

"Quintessential Conch Cottage in Best Old Town location. New baths, newly refinished wood floors, fully fenced, new mini split ac system, outdoor shower and laundry. Sit on the front porch and watch the world go by or lounge by the private pool. Original cook house. THIS IS IT! Location Location Location and cute as can be."  

This special little home at 707 Southard Street is located in the heart of Old Town Key West and is back on the market. (It's been on and off a couple of times since it was listed this spring.) You can't beat the location for convenience. Most of the neighboring homes are equally charming and certainly much more expensive. The asking price will fit the budget of many buyers who want a simple getaway place: asking $599,000.

 The house next door to the east is equally charming

707 Southard Street is painted a bright white. The blue shutters contrast the white so perfectly that the resultant appearance is crisp and clean. The front porch provides an excellent perch for viewing the continual people parade. I can imagine sitting there sipping an iced tea greeting passersby as they say things like "I love your home!" or other such words of praise and envy.

The house itself is small, just 606 sq ft. The living area is quite spacious and tastefully designed. Six over six window provide light on the south and east walls. The master bedroom is located front west. When the bedroom door is open the filtered light from that room adds additional light to the living area. So what one might assume to be a small space actually appears quite large. There is a smaller second bedroom at the rear. Both bedrooms have private baths. The dining area is nestled between the main house and the historic cook house at the rear which is housed in a smaller building. The cool pool is located to the west of the cook house. What a delightful place to spend the spring, or summer, or fall, or winter, or the rest of your life. 707 Southard Street may be everything you need in a picture perfect setting and located near where ever you want to go.  It would make a great vacation rental.  CLICK HERE to view photos I took of this charming cottage home.

Sarabeth's is just a block away to the west. The Cafe Marquesa is a five minute walk. The Monroe County Library is around the corner: perhaps a three minute walk or ten minutes if you stop to speak to neighbors. Five Brothers is located a couple of blocks east. You can be almost any place in Old Town within a five to fifteen minute walk. And that's why living here is so great.
