Just Listed, but not by me,
920 Pohalski Lane in Old Town
Key West. There's truly good reason to jump for joy on this listing because this architect designed home offers designer features at an affordable price -
$494,025. This Bank Owned property was renovated and expanded around 000000. Today the house has 920 sq ft of living space divided between the first and second floors. The house sits on a good sized lot of 1925 sq ft (55' X 35'). There is off street parking in front, a large decked rear yard, and a side side yard on the north side of the property.

The listing Realtor describes the property as:
"Redesigned 2/2 historic home with a unique floor plan. Upper level master suite,
french doors from living room and kitchen open to a private deck with an in ground spa. Fully fenced for privacy."
I looked in my old shoebox and found a photo of 920 Polhalski Lane that was taken about fifty years ago. The house was enlarged with a two story rear addition that now contains the living room with vaulted ceiling, kitchen, laundry room, and second floor master suite with vaulted ceiling and en-suite bath. A set of pocket doors open from the master suite to reveal the spa in the decked rear garden area.
The photos above show the generous usage of wood throughout this home. This is "new" wood as opposed to historic Dade County Pine. I have shown this house several times over the years. I appreciate the almost "cabin-like" or masculine feel of this home. The living room and guest bedroom and bath share the first floor. A full bath is located off the living room but it is not en-suite to the bedroom. French doors at the rear open out to a partially covered rear deck that leads to the separate kitchen which is separate from the living area. Pocket doors open to reveal the kitchen tucked into a comfy rear corner of the house.
The second floor master suite is magical. The vaulted ceiling gives this space such an expansive feel. Upper level windows punctuate the lower window and pocket doors to give the interior more light and to provide a dramatic element to the otherwise understated wood room.
920 Pohalksi Lane is located less than half a block north of Truman Avenue and across the way from the Truman and White Chevron Station. The Coffee Mill dance studio and Zumba fitness is located next door to the north. The best fried chicken in town is sold 24 hours a day at the Citgo gas station opposite the Chevron station. Most of the gyms and yoga studios are located within two blocks of this location. The location will appeal to a hip buyer that appreciates being able to be close to most of Old Town and that wants to buy a place in good condition at an affordable price.The house needs some painting and cleaning, but otherwise looks to be in good condition.

Room for a small pool?
Dear Anon, I think there is room for a small pool. Setbacks are five feet from rear and five feet from side yard. If you look at photos, you would need to lose some of the deck.
I would take out the overgrown Travlers Palms and trim the Royal Poinciana trees. That would add so much light to the property. Then you could instal younger and smaller trees that would provide some shade and aesthetic beauty to the lot. The property to the west is a beautiful home on Havana Lane. The property to the south on Truman is retail down and residential on second floor with parking behind (adjacent to 920 Pohalski).

Do make sure that any tree removal is approved by the tree commission while your pool plans are approved by HARC, so many people get tagged because they forget that step when filing for a variance before the DRC and Planning Board.
Thank you Gary, about the pool, and I was wondering if the trees could be trimmed to get some sun. to anonymous above, I understand about HARC etc.
