1516 Duncombe Street, Key West - Bank Owned

The banner photo above was taken about sixty years ago in front of the old Key West High School at 1300 White Street. The new high school coincidentally is located across the street from the house that is the subject of today's blog - 1516 Dumcombe Street. The listing Realtor describes this Bank Owned property this way:

"This three bedroom home features tiled floors throughout, updated kitchen with granite counters and SS appliances. Large family room, utility room and a fully fenced yard. Great location, walking distance to shopping and beaches."

1516 Duncombe Street is a 1247 sq ft ranch style CBS (concrete block construction) house built in 1964. That's the same year Harry James Mitchell took the above photo of a street in Key West. The architecture used in the Duncombe Street house was new in 1964 but it is old now just as the houses in the photo were old then - perhaps fifty years old when that photo was taken. Those old houses are now treasured by people who want to buy a place in Key West. The old houses have become so expensive that many folks think they may not be able to afford a place in Key West. The house on Duncombe Street needs some "fixing" but it is affordable by Key West standards. Let's take a look.

Key West High School is located across the street

Third Bedroom or Family Room

Bedroom No. 1

Bedroom No. 2

The house sits on a 52' X 93' sq ft lot (4840 sq ft). There is an ample side yard for parking two cars plus a very large rear yard with plenty of room for a pool. The house was updated by a prior owner. There are some issues a new owner will have to tackle including repairs to the rear bedroom.  A home inspector can help a buyer identify the issues this house faces and give an estimate on the cost to repair the same.
