1223 Royal Street is a small Key West compound, an investment property, if you will. It is offered for sale at the asking price of $524,900 or $393 per sq ft. This is how the listing Realtor describes this property:
"Behind the privacy of the wood fence sits a very private very Key Westy compound. 1/1 in the front with a stone path leading to 2/1 plus loft in the rear. Lovingly cared for with etched glass, cathedral ceilings, wood floors, built in shelving and French doors opening to a yard with room for a pool.This legal duplex has two electric,garbage and sewer accounts? Central air through out."You may not recognize the neighborhood or the area by the address. El Siboney Cuban Restaurant is located down Catherine Street two blocks to the east. And Duval Street is four blocks to the west. St. Mary's of the Sea Catholic Church is two blocks to the north. The Atlantic Ocean and South Beach are a five minute walk to the south.

If you are familiar with the street numbering system in Key West you will know that most odd numbered houses are on the east side of the street. 1223 Royal Street is located on the west side in this block. Key West planning officials do this just to keep everybody on their toes. (There are two Thompson Lanes which are located about a mile apart. Planning did that to drive taxi drivers crazy.)
There were three sales in this same block earlier this year.

I have not been inside of this property so I can't add much to what the listing Realtor has provided. If you are looking for an investment property you may want to see 1223 Royal Street.
