Just Listed, but not by me,
1214 Von Phister Street,
Key West, This Casa Marina east
2140 square foot home has it all - ALL! The home was built new in 2002, not remodeled. It has four bedrooms, three baths, and an open concept living area. It is a spacious two story with abundant main floor living area which seamlessly flows out to the covered lanai and pool area. There is also convenient covered parking for two cars.
There is a phrase about a photograph telling a thousand words. Well, these photos show this home is lived in. There is a lot of stuff in the rooms, and if you read the MLS details, you will learn the furniture is included in the asking price. The personal items are not included, including the juke box located near the front door. (I looked at the record selection which was opened to Pink Floyd.) What I would like readers to envision is these rooms without so much stuff - maybe buying the house without the furnishings or taking the furnishings until the new owners edit and paint the walls "their colors" and makes this home "their home". I am not being negative about the owners' home. There is just so much to see that readers may miss the simplicity of design that these spaces offer for relaxed Key West living. The fourth bedroom is located on the far side of the staircase. Note this room has a set of small French doors which open out to the covered parking. This is an ideal room for a home office, but it could easily work as a genuine guest room where your guests don't wake the entire household when they stroll in at 3:00 AM after partying hard on Duval Street.
The master suite is located on the south or rear side of the home. A set of French doors opens out to the covered porch which overlooks the pool below. This is a quiet part of town. Imagine sitting out on the porch late at night appreciating all the you have achieved in life. Maybe you will take a late night dip then go to sleep with the doors open and in the wee hours waking up with birds singing.
There are two additional bedrooms located at the front of the house. Both
are good sized and are very suite for full time living as opposed to
some of the pretend bedrooms you may have seen on some condos over at
Truman Annex. This is a big house and built for full time living. But it works equally well as a second home where generations of a family can gather.
Von Phister Street is located one block north of Flagler Avenue and just four blocks from the Atlantic Ocean and Higgs Beach, the dog park, and Salute on the Beach. Louies Backyard is about a five block walk when you want a date night. And doggie beach is next door to Louies when your pup needs to go for a swim. (There are people who get a couple of weeks vacation each year. They save their money and go to Louies to have a drink and dream of living in a place so wonderful. Imagine being able to walk over for lunch or dinner any time you want.)

Nice looking house - agreed about the stuff, that was my first reaction. I hope they get their asking price
Love that front door and sidelight glass. Is that really stained glass or a decal of some sort?
When did Midtown become into Casa Marina East?
I created a new name for the area. This is not midtown. And it is not Casa Marina. Some of the houses are better than those in Casa Marina. A former agent who left town a few years ago came up with names for specific streets in Old Town to give them status of which he thought they were worth.
Not real stained glass but not a decal.
