1723 Bahama Drive - Key West - a Wise Investment

Just listed by Preferred Properties Key West, that's where I work but this is not my listing, 1723 Bahama Drive which is located at the easternmost edge of our little island. This three bedroom, two bath home is as clean as a whistle and ready for a new owner to move into.  The listing Realtor describes the home as...

"Immaculate, bright and airy family 3/2 one level home on a very large lot with a great back yard. When the current owner purchased this home, they redid the landscaping and added many new features including an additional bathroom. Open living/dining area leading to the covered Lanai, pool, outdoor kitchen and cabana with a shower off the pool."

This home has a mellow, easy flow from room to room and from inside to the outside.  The island laid back lifestyle is evident everywhere from the large open living areas to the colorful bedrooms.

The front yard and rear garden were designed by landscape guru Pat Tierney.  Instead of a big privacy fence, 1723 Bahama Drive has a densely planted front yard with low maintenance native plants that save water.  The owners have created their version of tropical paradise that includes a very large (and sunny!) pool, palm trees and tropical foliage, a covered lanai, an outdoor kitchen, and lots of room to grad an all over tan. Oh, yes, there is a colorful outdoor shower as well!

1723 Bahama Drive was built in 1963 of CBS (concrete block construction with stucco over). The house has 1473 sq ft of living space that sits on a 56' X 100' lot. The lot backs onto mangroves so you will lots of privacy when you use the outdoor shower.  The house itself is tastefully designed. The rooms ought to  accommodate most styles of furniture with ease. There are new tile floors, new A/C,and new wind impact windows and doors throughout the house. I did not notice any deferred maintenance anywhere.  All of the outdoor spaces are tastefully designed and outfitted with quality materials.  CLICK HERE to view the Key West mls datasheet and to view listing photos.
