Prospective buyers of a home in Key West ought to be able to tell a lot about the listing at 1119 Olivia Street just by looking at the three above photos. The most obvious visible fact is the home is located on a corner and has two off-street parking spaces, two mail boxes, and appears to be in pristine condition. I wrote a blog about this property in 2008 soon after it had then been totally renovated. It looks just as sharp and clean now.
The listing Realtor describes the property this way:
"Immaculate,
completely renovated home in Historic Old Town Key West. Lovely
corner lot on quiet street, 2 valuable Boston Brick Off street parking
spaces, 3 bedrooms 2.5 baths, 12'x16' private covered porch with yard
and possible room for plunge pool, 2nd covered front porch, X zone (no
flood insurance required). New washer/dryer, new microwave, dishwasher,
disposal, central AC, new metal roof, Florida tile throughout, designer
lighting package , 7 ceiling fans and white picket fence surrounds the
property. Can use the upstairs for a legal Studio rental. The Studio is
separately metered and has a private entrance plus $2000/month income
potential. A must see in a wonderful LOCATION! LOCATION!"
This home is laid out with the two main floor bedrooms and baths at the front of the house. The living area, kitchen, and dining area are at the rear. French doors open out to the east side covered deck. The wood door at the rear of the kitchen opens out to the bricked parking space entered off Ashe Street.
There is a legal second floor apartment. The entrance is located on the Ashe Street side of the house. See the check mark on the photo below which shows the entrance. The entire second floor is a lovely studio apartment that rents at $2,000 per month. That's affordable rent in Key West. That rent makes the main floor space an attractive buying opportunity for a buyer who wants a place to call his/her/their own in Key West and still have income potential to off sett some of the cost of home ownership.
