206 - 4 Southard Street, Key West - Transient Licensed Shipyard Condominium

Just Listed, but not by me, 206 - 4 Southard Street, Key West. The listing broker describes this extra large two bedroom Shipyard Condominium this way:

"This updated Shipyard condo offers a fantastic investment potential with its Truman Annex special transient rental license. Perfectly located near the community pool, with tropical treetop views, flooded with natural light, updated kitchen & bathroom, and two balconies. The unit is offered fully turnkey and ready to rent. Walk to the beach, Duval St., the Southernmost Point and Hemingway's House."

Returning guests to Key West know the location very well. The gated entrance is located just two short blocks west of Duval Street.  And in the not too distant future, the location will also be know as being near the new Truman Waterfront Park. (More on that later in the blog.) The map below shows the location of this unit just a few feet to the east of the community pool. The map also shows the designated parking space is feet from the front door.

This second floor unit has a front balcony which overlooks the parking lot and a rear balcony with a view of the Shipyard community swimming pool. If you become the owner of this unit and decide to rent it, you will soon learn the value of this location.  There are around 176 units in Shipyard. Some are located near the pool and some are located a hefty hike. Some are located near the one designated parking space while others are located another hefty hike. While most vacationers don't cook a lot of meals, they do buy some groceries and probably some liquid refreshments.

In preparing this unit for sale, the interiors were updated with new furnishings. The place sparkles. I moved to Key West just about the time the last of the Shipyard units were being completed. They were built in phases and not all units are alike. This unit has 680 square feet of living space. Some units are 520 to 580 sq ft. That's a lot of space not to have. And that extra space ought to translate into repeat business year after year.

I walked from this unit over to the new gated entrance to the Truman Waterfront Park still under construction. The place looks great. The photo just above is the direct route over to Ft Zachary Taylor State Park and Beach.  Guests will love being able to walk to the beach or maybe attend a concert at the new amphitheater.  All the restaurants, bars, and shops on Duval Street are a five minute walk in the opposite direction.

(Compare that to other units where the seller wants to negotiate the price of their used furniture, towels, and pots and pans.  The price you pay is the actual price you pay and nothing more.
