1009 Eaton Street - Old Town - Key West

 

1009 Eaton Street was just listed by Preferred Properties Key West, that's where I work but this is not my listing, is this two bedroom/two bath Conch style home that the Monroe County Property Appraiser says was built in 1923. I think it is much older than that because I found it on the 1889 Sanborn Map.  That would indicate it existed before 1889 when the map was drawn. Be that as it may, it is still an old house and that is why it is the type that is sought by second home buyers who want a cute old house in Key West. The cute part of this house is without dispute.

The front porch welcomes friends and family to a 1170 sq ft home that sits on a 1578 sq ft lot just one half block east of Grinnell Street in Old Town Key West. The Historic  Key West Seaport is located a block and one-half to the north. Frequent visitors may recall the Old Town Bakery is located at the corner of Grinnell Street and the new Paseo Restaurant is also located there.

The main floor of the house has an inviting living room with Dade County Pine walls, ceiling, and floors. The dining area is set off just a bit by an ancient room divider. The kitchen is located at the rear. It has been stylishly updated.  The first floor also has a full bath.

There are two bedrooms on the second floor. The master bedroom is located at the front. The guest bedroom is at the rear. There is a second floor rear sundeck as well.  

 

The rear yard presently has a spa but I think there may be room for a small in ground pool. An interested buyer would have to determine the feasibility for himself or herself. I think the space is large enough. The cost might be a bit high as it would have to be dug by hand instead of machine.  You could save yourself a lot of money and do what a lot of locals do: go to Dante's and use the pool there. Buy lunch and a couple of drinks. You will save thousands and thousands of dollars! You can still swim and tan.

1009 Eaton Street is offered at $695,000. CLICK HERE to view the Key West Association of Realtors mls datasheet and listing photos. I took more photos which you can view if you CLICK HERE.
