1114 Fleming Street - Grand Conch House - Key West

The asking price on the Grand Conch House at 1114 Fleming Street was reduced to just $1,050,000 yesterday. I think this house is worthy of serious consideration by any buyer who wants a large and historic home in Old Town Key West. The listing broker describes the property thus:

"Elegant award winning circa 1886 home with natural cypress siding situated on a beautiful tree lined street. Featuring four bedrooms and four and one-half baths including a separate guest cottage overlooking the pool and patio with covered outdoor dining. The kitchen has a large living area with dining. There is also a downstairs bedroom suite and another room suitable as a den, library or office. There are two bedrooms each with baths ensuite upstairs. The master suite has a walk-in closet and opens to a sunny sitting porch. The property is complete with two off-street parking spaces and much of the designer furnishings are available."

Off street parking for two cars

I showed this home earlier this week. I remembered how lovely it is but at the same time I had forgotten how really lovely it is. This old home has grace and charm that just do not exist in the new houses that are being built today that are supposed to replicate the grand houses of yore.

Last year this house was featured in the Old Island Restoration Foundation's February House Tour and described the property thus: "this two-story home, with its saw tooth additions at the back, was awarded a ceramic star from the Historic Florida Keys Foundation in 1983, and is on the National Register of Historic Places. It has maintained its charm while incorporating modern amenities for today's living. Floors are old wide plank pine, doors are old, and most of the large windows are original to the house." This house has all of the charm buyers of big old homes want. And this home would make a great vacation rental if a new owner wanted to rent it.


No matter how you describe this house, you can't deny the sheer beauty of the simple lines and the unique pique the Cypress wood siding gives to the property. The house is quite large and boasts four bedrooms and five baths, a guest cottage, pool and patio with covered dining area. The garden area has recently been pruned and some of the once almost overpowering palms have been removed. And the pool was resurfaced recently. If you have seen this house before, you ought to take a second look now that the asking price on this 2510 sq ft home is $1,050,000 or $512 per sq ft.

The home is located at the far east end of Fleming Street but it is still a mere stroll to Duval or the Historic Key West Seaport. There are great restaurants such as Cafe Sole and art galleries within a three minute walk. The home is near everything but not in the middle of it all. And that can be very nice.
