703 Eaton Street #2 Key West - Back on the Market with New Low Price

This is an update of my September 2016 blog about 703 Eaton Street #2, Key West.  I thought this two bedroom two bath BANK OWNED CONDOMINIUM was an excellent buy then and it is an even better buy now. It was under contract from early December until yesterday when it was placed back on the market as active at the REDUCED asking price of $387,900 or $386 per sq ft for this 1003 second floor unit.

Soon after I moved to Key West in December 1993 I got invited to a lot of parties and get-togethers including a cocktail party at 703 Eaton Street which was then a single family home owned by a local doctor and author. I met a lot of very interesting people that night - I mean a lot!  That is something new comers to town can look forward to. Key West is very welcoming to all who come here. You can be as big a member of the community as you want or you can be anonymous. There is room for everyone.  When I arrived I immediately noticed this home was not like the other old houses I had been in because it wasn't old. In fact the original house pictured above was razed in the 1970s. The current building was constructed in 1979.  The building is quite large and was converted into
condominiums after the good doctor sold the home several years ago. The photos below are of unit #2 located on the second floor.

The owner of this unit enters the grounds via gated entry on Elizabeth Street. The exterior stairway leads to a separate gated entry to the second floor balcony overlooking Eaton Street. You enter into the living room which has a fireplace on one wall. There is a large balcony which overlooks the shared pool below. The compact kitchen is located adjacent to the entry. The master bedroom suite is located on the west side of the unit and the guest bedroom is located on the east side.

The second bedroom is located on the opposite side of the living room. This spatial separation gives the owner and guests or roommates privacy.  If you have looked at some of the more expensive units in Truman Annex you'll appreciate what I am saying about privacy. Oh, and this unit has views of the pool from both the living room and the master bedroom. 

The guest bath is located at the end of the hallway and adjacent to the second bedroom. Both bedrooms have ample closet space.

703 Eaton Street is located two blocks from the Historic Seaport and two blocks from Duval Street. You and your guests can walk to everyplace you might need to go in a matter of minutes, well, almost everything. The new 24 hour gym is located one block away. Starbucks is two blocks. Fausto's grocery is one block away. I lived a little over a bock away for the first eighteen months I was in Key West. You can't beat the location for convenience. The traffic really does slow down to a trickle at night. CLICK HERE to view more photos I took of this unit.
