1006 Southard Street in Old Town Key West is a charming renovated cottage in the historic district. The cottage is secluded down a shady bricked walkway. There are a bedroom and bath down and a master suite upstairs. French doors open from the bedroom, living room and spacious vaulted kitchen to a decked swimming pool. It has lots of Dade County Pine and historic details, yet it has been modernized with a new roof, well-appointed kitchen and pretty baths.
The house is priced at $879,900 or $741 per sq ft. (The house is 1188 sq ft and sits on a 2833 sq ft lot.) The house sits to the rear, not the front, of Southard Street. So you cannot see the house from the street. That adds additional privacy for the homeowner. You are a five minute walk to Duval or the Historic Key West Seaport. And you are a two minute walk to Five Brothers Grocery and Sandwich Shop where you can get your morning con leche, Michael's Restaurant
where you can get your steak fix fixed, or Mangia-Mangia Restaurant to get your pasta fazooled.

You won't be spending all of your vacation time tending to fixing things and working on the yard. There is something to be said and cherished about minimalism.
This house is just a basic house in a very good location. It has its drawbacks for sure. But it also has the charm and amenities that second home owners pine for. Want to see it? Call me, Gary Thomas, 305-766-2642 or send me an e-mail at kw1101v@aol.com.
