I showed
1231 Flager Avenue in
Key West a few days ago. As soon as I walked inside this 1,524 Sq Ft 1950s ranch style home I was taken by the gleaming restored terrazzo floors which put to shame so many of the new flooring we see today. These floors are both durable and stylish. The entire house
shows like gem.The home is located a little more than one block east of the tony Casa Marina Area where houses of similar size and age may sell for a million dollars more, this home is affordably priced at $895,000. Let's take look.
The house has just been been completely renovated including new roof, wiring, air conditioning, new kitchen and updated bathrooms, and triple pane impact windows and glass panel doors. The house is bright, shiny, and super clean. It is in perfect move-in condition.
The open concept living/kitchen/dining area is located at the front of the house. A door a the side leads out to the newly created covered outdoor living area while the hallway leads to the two guest bedrooms and later to the master suite at the rear.
What you see when you enter the master bedroom are glass doors on two sides opening out to the pool on one side and the covered outdoor living area on the other. The ceiling is vaulted adding a genuine feeling of height and spaciousness. The herringbone pattern wood floors are a counter-point to the terrazzo floors in the original portion of the house. What at first glance appears to be a fixed wall behind the bed is instead the backside of a floating closet. I loved this design. It made the room more user friendly. Well done!
When the curtains are pulled and glass doors shut, the master suite is totally private from the rest of the house. Another set of doors open out to the pool where moonlight madness awaits - or not.
The mechanical equipment is located on the east side yard so that the pool guy can come and go without disturbing the house or covered outdoor living area. The patch of grass is artificial, but the orchids in the trees and freshly planted foliage are real - as in real pretty. The pool is as clear as can be. This owner did a bang-up job. This house is worthy of looking at.
