Just Listed: 411 - 415 Grinnell Street, Key West

Just Listed: 411 - 415 Grinnell Street, Key West. This new listing of Preferred Properties Key West is a marriage of old and new, borrowed and blue. I have blogged about the historic home at 411 Grinnell Street several times over the years and featured 415 Grinnell Street while it was being built and later when completed in 2019. The original home at 411 Grinnell Street was renovated and a new residence constructed on the vacant lot next door to the north. Today they are one primary residence and a fully outfitted guest home. Now they are offered for sale  Let's take a look.

 I remember the first time I saw 411 Grinnell Street. It looked like many of the older homes in Key West - it had classic good looks and large lot next door that could be built upon. I always knew 411 Grinnell could be restored. I had no inkling how the two properties could become so grand.

411 Grinnell Street was renovated and expanded after 2012.  The original house 3/1 house with 1,403 Sq Ft of living space was totally renovated and a new pool added to the side yard. I began to photograph the construction of 415 Grinnell in 2018. It took well over a year to complete. The front and rear were landscaped with mature palms and tropical foliage to the extent passers-by would think the new house had been in place for years and years CLICK HERE to view the construction progress photos.

Today the combined properties offer 4,877 Sq Ft of living space on an 8,377 Sq Ft lot in the heart of Old Town. The new house includes a larger air conditioner garage for your Conch Cruiser, Harley, or other vehicle of choice. 

  I was awed when I entered the new house for the first time. My eyes were drawn to the blue pool at the rear. That blue pool is visible from many of the rooms in both houses. And it is that blue theme that follows everywhere as well. While I got to see the MLS photos before the house was officially listed, I had no sense of the scale of the house or how grandly it was appointed. All of the little things add up to a whole lot of WOW. Some of the interior features include oyster stone floors from Jordan and hardwood floors from Austria. They are remarkable. Most of the interior walls are painted white. The ceilings are tall and provide a sense of grandeur not often seen in most homes in the historic district.The baseboards and trim are custom.The kitchen has everything. Literally everything including a Miele 112 bottle wine cooler.

The new home has four bedrooms and four and one-half bathrooms. The first floor guest bedroom shown above is painted blue - duh! The doors inside that room open out to one of three pools at this property. That space is used by the current owner as media room. But it has a huge closet with built-ins and a large bath with all of the conveniences.

This is a rich man's house. Or rich lady's. Or couples'. Or whatever pronoun you prefer. The size and the views are remarkable. 

There is a rooftop sundeck as well. I looked off in all directions to see what I could see and determine what others might see inside the huge back yard. Nothing. It is totally private. The rear grounds include an outdoor shower and two pool side fire pits.
