1211 Grinnell Street, No. F - Key West, Florida

Just Listed  by Preferred Properties Key West, 1211 Grinnell Street, No. F. Key West, Florida. I have written about this home a couple of years ago when it was offered as a short sale and later as a bank owned property. The property was sold and has been updated and transformed into a three bedroom two and one-half bath home. CLICK HERE to view more photos.

This home is located in Grinnell Gardens, a unique compound consisting of seven distinctive units which share a large and sunny pool. Each home has one designated off street parking space. These homes were built new in 1994 and replicate the Greek Revival architectural style found in many houses in our Old Town area. This particular home has 1360 square feet of interior living space plus covered first and second floor front porches for private outdoor entertaining. The homeowner association fee is just $200 per month.
As soon as I opened the front door I could see how radically different this house had improved. The former darkly painted Venetian Plaster Walls and Ceiling are now a creamy white. There is new air conditioning, new lighting, and bathrooms. The darkness that hung over that house is now gone. It is light and airy.
The main level great room opens out to the private rear garden which is perfect for outdoor dining almost every day of the year.  It is totally secluded.  The kitchen has been updated with all new stainless steel appliances. Not shown is the first floor guest bath and large closet area which provides real storage space.
The master suite is located at the front of the second floor. The vaulted ceiling soars high and gives the interior a very spacious feeling. The original owner had special features built into this house including extra insulation between the connecting unit to the west and additional insulation between the first and second floors. Noise is contained and coolness is maintained. The current owner removed glass block half-walls in the nook that extends over the front balcony. The result is a much cleaner look.The bathroom cabinet and fixtures were replaced as well.  The front and rear exteriors were painted as well. Since this is  town home, the owner is responsible for exterior maintenance. That will not be a issue for a decade or so down the line. In the meantime, the new owner can sit on the balcony ponder the joys of owning a place in Key West. The view is so special. Remember there are only seven homes that share the pool and the view. By the way, two of the homes here have private pools.
The original home had a second master bedroom at the rear of the second floor. That space was reconfigured into two separate bedrooms both of which share the adjacent full bath. The laundry closet is located at the of the stairs.  The third bedroom is large enough to accommodate a bunk bed set for the grand kids or which could be used as an office.
