If you are in Key West and are out and about today after church or after brunch, stop by my Open House at 812 Johnson Lane in Old Town Key West. I have put a GOOGLE MAP just below so that you can find me. The home will be open 12:00 to 2:00 PM.
812
Johnson Lane is actually located three blocks from Duval Street and
about one-half block north of Truman Avenue on a single block that
begins at Windsor Lane and ends at Packer Street. Most of the cottage
style houses on this block date back to the beginning of the twentieth
century. Several of the cottages have been renovated including one
across the street that merited a Ceramic Star several years ago. This is
a quiet little lane near everything, and 812 Johnson Lane is a bright
little star on this street.
The
front cottage was totally renovated in 2014. All interiors were gutted
and replaced. Today there are two new large bedrooms with ample closet
space, recessed lighting, crown molding, and new floors. There's a new
travertine marble bath and a cute new kitchen complete with new
cabinetry, granite counter-tops, and stainless steel appliances. The
house is laid out with two bedrooms up front off the main hallway. The
open living area is at the rear where beveled glass doors open out to
the covered rear porch that overlooks the heated pool that is 5' deep. I
mention the depth because size matters to some people.
The
covered porch looks not only provides shelter from the sun but also
provides a comfortable and protected space for poolside dining. You'll
be surprised at how much time we Key Westers spend outside - that's a
big part of the reason many of left our lives in the frozen north.
There
is a second cottage at the far side of the pool. The owner obtained
permission to add a bath and laundry to the cottage. There is also an
outdoor shower on the back side of the cottage. The lot extends 117 feet
from Johnson Lane to the rear property line. That's deep for a property
in Old Town. When you look up to the sky you can actually see the sky
and sunshine. There are nice trees on the neighboring houses which the
neighbors get to take care of. Here, the owner gets to take care of
tanning. This property would make an excellent vacation rental!
812 Johnson Lane is offered at $769,000. Please stop by and see me or CLICK HERE to view the Key West mls datasheet on this really cute two cottage buying opportunity. Gary Thomas, 305-766-2642. I am a full time Realtor at Preferred Properties Key West.
