Just Listed 1106 Petronia Street, Key West. How cute is this place and what a great Old Town location on a one-way street that is only two blocks long. I dug down into my old shoebox and found a photo of the property back in 1965. It hasn't changed much. What do you think? Actually it aged better than most people do.
Let's look at more photos of the exterior where most people who live here spend most of their time. And this house has a terrific outside.
The house was built in 1893. It has been in the same family ownership for decades. It has been lovingly cared for. The above photo was taken on the front porch looking northwest toward the Key West cemetery located on the far side of Frances Street - about 200 feet to the west. The house sits toward the front of the 3,668 square foot lot which is densely landscaped front to back.
The listing Realtor describes the property this way:
"Located in the heart of Old Town this sweet cottage is nestled among mango trees, avocado trees, fig trees and more. The home includes three bedrooms and one bath with a bedroom on the first floor and two bedrooms on the second floor. The side yard features the makings of an outdoor kitchen area and covered gazebo along with a spacious backyard with room for a private pool among the topical landscaping. When it's time for entertaining, you'll experience a rear porch off of the kitchen that is perfect for outdoor dining and visits with friends. This home is located in a quiet desirable neighborhood and awaits your new ideas with endless possibilities."
The house has been updated a bit but not by too much. There is room to improve but the place is livable as is until you decide exactly what you want to do. In the meantime rest on easy street, I mean Petronia Street, and enjoy the location.
