1202 Seminary Street, Key West - Back on the Market

I first wrote about 1202 Seminary Street, Key West right after it was listed  It quickly went under contract and the process of loan qualification began. Sometimes that can take months. Sometimes loans do not get approved. This property is now back on the market.  Let's take a look.



This home was renovated about twenty years ago. The entry was relocated from the front of the house through a gated portico that opens into the pool area. Multiple sets of French doors on both sides of  the living room allow abundant daytime light to bathe the area with ambient light. This place is cheerie. The kitchen was recently updated and new floors added. 



French doors from the family room (located center) and both bedrooms open out to the rear deck with recently added Trex decking. The two bedroom, three bath home has 1,502 Sq Ft of living space under air conditioning and sits on a large 4,698 Sq Ft lot.The home was built in 1928, nearly one hundred years ago. The renovations give the place a much more contemporary feel.



The house sits across the street from the National Weather Service Building located at the Corner of United and White Street. I remember the old trailer park in the same location until after 2000. The top photo shows the Ruth Hargrove Methodist Seminary and below its well groomed and behaved Methodist children. The black and white photo with trailers is dated 1963. Seminary Street runs west to Reynolds Street and east to First Street. The MARC House is located one block to the east.That is where we all go to buy tropical plants and Christmas trees. This is a very quiet location except Saturday morning when people to to the MARC House to buy plants.

There is a real benefit from having the National Weather Service as the neighbor across the street - no pool or house parties and the yard is always well maintained. 

Fausto's Grocery and the DQ are located one block to the north.

 
The White Street Pier and Higg's Beach are located a short stroll or bike ride to the south.

I think it either is or is about to go under contract

It did Saturday afternoon. Quick turn around. There are just not that many houses available. I liked this house and especially the location. Having the federal government own the property across the street ensures it will always be maintained and that they won't be creating any disturbance.
