810 Fleming Street, Key West - Just Listed

 

This is another Just Listed but not by me posts. This legal duplex is located in in the very heart of Old Town at 810 Fleming Street, Key West. It has the favored revival style architecture Key Westers refer to as Grand Conch. The house has 2,016 Sq Ft of living space and sits on a large rectangular lot that measures 24.7' X 113' deep. I dug down into my old shoebox and found three prior photos of the property that will help you appreciate its status and location on this very important block in Key West. 

The black and white photos was taken in 1965 and shows better than any other the classic revival style architecture of this lovely home. Note the pediments above the three bays on each floor. For those not familiar with the location, 810 Fleming Street is located next to the Sea Foam Condominiums to the left and the Curry Guest House to the right.

The photo above was taken in 1980 when the renovation of 812 Fleming Street (Sea Foam Condominiums) was underway. I took the  photo below in 2012 while showing the home across the street. During the 1980s and 1990s several of the larger buildings on this block were converted into guest houses.

If you don't recall the Sea Foam Condos, you may recognize Timmy Tuxedo standing outside the store of the same name located in the ground floor commercial condominium

It is the presence of 810 Fleming Street that should stir the creative juices of renovators. It is located two blocks from the historic seaport, four blocks from Duval Street, and has prime viewing area for the annual Fantasy Fest Peoples Parade. The back side of the property should really get renovators excited.

The lot runs 113 Feet from the front to the rear which has a traditional concrete yard. I kid you not. I learned many years ago that some Conchs preferred concrete yards which negated the need for lawn service companies. The good thing about this feature is a new owner basically has a blank slate upon which to add a pool and gardens.
