1413 Grinnell Street - The Casa Marina Area - Key West - Price Reduction

The asking price on the very sweet and deceptively large Casa Marina Area home located at 1413 Grinnell Street was just reduced from $1,895,000 to $1,795,000.  I wrote about this home when it was first listed in mid March.

I live in the Casa Marina Area, in fact I live a little over one block from this property, and I love this part of town.  I vaguely remember the house as it looked in the latter part of the 1990s when the house was thoroughly renovated. I remember going inside the house when the general contractor was doing the renovation. The original house somewhat resembled a simple box with a shed roof with a dormer in front. A very large addition was built on the rear but for the most part the addition is not visible from the street. I looked for but could not find a photo of the house as it looked in the 1990s. I did find a much older photo that was taken about fifty years ago - see the black and white photo below. I also found an old aerial photo of the Casa Marina Area that was taken in 1930.  I added an arrow that proves 1413 Grinnell Street existed in 1930. (County records show the house was built in 1943. Clearly the county records are incorrect.)

The current house barely resembles its old self. That's because the old house has been enlarged and gentrified into a 2487 sq ft home with four bedrooms, four baths, an expansive great room with living, dining, and kitchen that flow out to the covered rear deck that looks out to the pool and spa.

There are two main floor bedrooms each with private bath. Notice the heart pine floors throughout the house. All floors have been recently refinished. The house was freshly painted just before the house went on the market.

Upstairs you will find a very comfortable master bedroom (that was added to the rear of the original house) complete with ensuite bath.  French doors open out to the second floor rear deck which provides a place for private sun worship or a shady spot for reading or viewing the goings-on in the pool below. A fourth bedroom and office complete the second floor.

The 1990s two story addition to the rear of the property includes the two-tiered deck that wraps around the house. The ground level deck provides sitting and dining areas. French doors open out from the great room and kitchen onto the deck.  On the second floor French doors open from the rear master suite and the office out to the covered deck.  The views from the either level reveal the large pool and spa. This is a real pool, folks. Not one of those cocktail pools you see in Old Town.

Just listed by Preferred Properties Key West, that is where I work but this is not my listing, 1413 Grinnell Street in the Casa Marina Area of Key West. I live in the Casa Marina Area, in fact I live a little over one block from this property, and I love this part of town.  I vaguely remember the house as it looked in the latter part of the 1990s when the house was thoroughly renovated. I remember going inside the house as the general contractor was doing the renovation. He started with a simple box with a shed roof and a dormer in front. The renovated house is anything but simple, and it no longer resembled its former self.  I looked for but could not find a photo of the house as it looked in the 1990s. I did find a much older photo that was taken nearly fifty years ago, see the black and white photo below. I also found an old aerial photo of the Casa Marina Area that was taken in 1930.  I added an arrow that proves 1413 Grinnell Street existed in 1930. (County records show the house was built in 1943.
