The asking price on 302 Amelia Street was just reduced from $1,250,000 to $1,050,000. That's a big price reduction on this Key West home that even comes with an ocean view from the second floor.
The home at 302 Amelia Street is so pretty that it could be on a travel poster for Key West. First and second floor verandas wrap around this stylish home that was designed by noted Key West architect Michael Ingram.
The
occupant of the front bedroom has a view of the the historic Key West
lighthouse off to the north while the occupant of the master suite has a view of the Atlantic Ocean to the south.
This
home is as beautiful on the inside as it is on the outside. While
the facade mimics grand old homes from two centuries ago, the
construction of this house and the interiors are anything but old. This
home was constructed with reinforced concrete with Hardiboard siding
added to give the appearance of traditional wood siding. The home
also has impact windows and doors which provide sound insulation,
protection from windstorms, and reduced fire/casualty and windstorm
insurance rates.
When
you enter the house you immediately realize this is not some old house
that has been updated. Instead you walk into an open living area that is
bright and cheery. Windows and French doors on three sides provide
filtered views of the gardens. Top chefs will appreciate the gas range
and designer cabinets. The granite counter tops and breakfast bar
provide compliment the over-sized tile floors. All interiors and
exteriors were recently painted. Everything is crisp and fresh.
With
the French doors opened, the pool and waterfall look mighty inviting.
The second floor
balcony offers views of the pool below, the park across the street, and
the Atlantic Ocean two blocks to the south. An electric extending awning
provides shade from the sun when needed, but allows full sun at other
times. All of the deck areas have Trex decking which is a man-made
material that does not rot like regular or pressure treated wood. The
waterfall adds a little splash to complete this Keys pool. There is a
gated off street parking space located just beyond the pool. A door at
the back of the house provides easy access for bringing in the
groceries. These are thoughtful and useful design elements that are
often overlooked.
The
stairway to the three bedrooms on the second floor is pretty
impressive. It's quite wide. A window located at the turn around point
illuminates the space and gives the perfunctory space a sense of
importance. Notice the wood floors throughout the second floor which
give the rooms a bit of an "old house" feel.
I
couldn't decide which of the three bedrooms I'd pick if I lived here. Each bedrooms has its own particular view and mystique
that make it special. Really!
The
west corner bedroom is just plain beautiful. The French doors open out
to the wrap around porch from each bedroom so I guess anybody can have
the same "view" once on the deck, but I'd prefer to think the views from
inside the room are all mine.
The
master bedroom with en-suite bath is quite large. Multiple sets of
French doors open out to the wrap around deck. Note the drapes that
provide privacy when needed.
The
views just off the master bedroom include the pool below, the park
across the street, and the ocean in the distance. Notice the Trex
decking around both floors of the wrap around decks and the pool
decking.

has a pool, off street parking, and like I said at the beginning of
today's blog, a view so pretty it could be on a travel poster for Key
West. Please call me, Gary Thomas, 305-766-2642 to schedule a private showing. I am a buyers agent and a full time Realtor at Preferred Properties Key West.

Why do realtors place such a high price on some homes when it 's often necessary to reduce after years of waiting?
This is on top of possible hurricanes before it sells.
It does seem quite pointless.
I was surprised to not see a link to vacation homes in Guam after reading the dumb comment above
Personally, I don't think the comment is dumb at all. What are you supposed to do if you happen to want to buy another home and cannot ? Too often, realtors pressure the seller or aid in fantasizing with the selling price to get the listing and to keep it .
Of course, it's at the seller's expense. Not the realtor's. If somebody can wait and doesn't care, that's great. But all too often, prices are way too inflated. That has obviously been a problem in the housing meltdown. Key west is no different from anywhere else where the area is popular for whatever reason.
Guam?
It's not the subject.
This house was previously listed by a different owner at a higher price. There is a new owner who has listed the same property at a price less than the earlier price. Just recently the new owner reduced the asking price again.
This is a really well built with a lot of money saving features. I do not think it is over priced. I see it as a buying opportunity for some buyer.
The Guam comment comes from a guy who spams my blog.
Gary
Of course you don't think the comment is dumb...you wrote it. Trust me, it's dumb.
Who is this Guam guy? He spoils this blog which gives excellent information including historical photos, & pertinent info.
"This guam guy" is someone who's read every blog entry Gary has posted for years. He's someone who's bought and sold 5 homes in Key West since 2011 and currently owns two. I know locations in Key West like Gerome Avenue and Donkey Milk Lane (gotta look closely for that one as it's written in Sharpie). I promise you or the dumb post fellow know only what tourists know about Key West. So there's some pertinent info you can put in your pipe and smoke. And that's a pipe you likely bought from a overpriced tobacco shop on Duval.
Could be Trump's son. :)
