2601 South Roosevelt Blvd No. 501A, Key West, FL - Oceanfront Condominium

 Take a moment and consider waking up to that view each morning. It's possible. Just Listed: 2601 South Roosevelt Boulevard Unit 501A, Key West, Florida. This 980 square foot end unit has direct ocean views from the living room, kitchen and dining area, and master bedroom. The guest bedroom has courtyard views.

I found an artist's conception of the property (below) from the1960s. The front two buildings marked "A" and "B" were built in 1964. The "C" building was built in 1967.  Like any project built fifty plus years ago, Key West By the Sea has changed a bit. The buildings are the same on the outside. There is a second pool in the courtyard behind the "A" building. The landscaping has matured. The interior courtyard still has a big green lawn. There's an orchid garden and a tennis court as well. The difference with the property is how some owners have renovated their units while others remain pretty much unchanged. Unit 501A has not been substantially updated.

The Federal Aviation Administration is funding the installation of all new wind impact resistant windows, doors, sliders, and air conditioning as a part of the airport noise abatement program. This is occur by 2021 and will be at no cost to any owner or to the condominium association. I think this unit looks just fine the way it is. If I bought it, I would wait until the new windows and doors are installed before doing any interior remodeling. In the meantime, I would enjoy the pools, the tennis court, the orchid garden and the sandy beach across the street.
