When
you enter the front doorway of
413 Frances Street your eyes are drawn to the rich Dade
County Pine walls that expand from the entry foyer to the living room and dining room on the right and to the main hallway and staircase to the left. This house is the
embodiment of what would-be home buyers dream of in a Key West house. The almost rustic appearance is
intentional. The previous owner did a meticulous renovation just a couple of years ago. This home has what discerning second home buyers want: lots of charm,
off street parking (for two cars), a pool, and nothing that needs fixed.
That's almost Paradise in itself.
The listing Realtor, not me, describes 413 Frances Street as:
"Beautifully renovated historic home located on highly desirable Frances Street
in the heart of Old Town Key West. Meticulous restoration with high ceilings,
Dade County Pine walls and floors. Gourmet kitchen with stainless steel
appliances and granite countertops. Three bedrooms including downstairs
bedroom/den with view of yard and pool. Pool, outdoor decking, and front porch
for enjoyable outdoor living. Two off street parking spaces, great location near
the Key West Bight and restaurants. A Key West Tropical Oasis For Island Living."
The
main floor has the entry hall with living room and dining room on the
right side of the house. A full bath is on this level as is the kitchen
with center island. The main floor family room is located just to the rear of the kitchen. It has French doors that open out onto the pool area on one side and out to a large terrace on the other.
Upstairs there are two very good sized bedrooms and full bathrooms.The main floor family room can do double duty as a third sleeping area with a sofa bed. That space could be easily converted into a full time bedroom should climbing the stairs become a problem for a homeowner. (Remember there is a full bathroom on the main floor.)
413 Frances Street would make a great vacation rental. In fact was used that
way for several years. The home is a full time residence now. The Historic Key
West Seaport is a couple of blocks to the north. Duval Street is a five to seven minute walk to the west. The Old
Town Bakery and Cole's Peace Bakery are one block away in either direction. Blossoms Market is a block away down Elgin
Lane to the east.
