1709 George Street - Short Sale - Key West

For those who think I only write about high-priced Dream Plazas, here is one that proves the opposite: 1709 George Street which was just listed as a short sale. Big deal, you say. Big deal, I say! A year ago this 4 bedroom 2 bath house with a beautiful pool and new kitchen and baths was priced at $675,000. It did not sell. Now it is a short sale and it is now offered at $350,000 or $258 per sq ft for this 1355 sq ft home that sits on a 44850 sq ft lot. The listing Realtor describes this house this way:

"Behind the privacy wall you will find this beautiful home, tropical landscaping and a fabulous pool. Very nice four bedroom two bath single family home just a few blocks from the beach. Upgraded kitchen with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, tile throughout and much more. This is a potential short sale transaction subject to lender approval."

1709 George Street is located about two blocks north of the Atlantic Ocean just past 1800 Atlantic Condominiums. CLICK HERE for an aerial perspective of the location and surrounding properties. This entire area was flooded during Hurricane Wilma. I have shown enough houses since then to know just about every buyer is sensitive to potential future flooding. That is why we have flood insurance.

Once you get over what happened in the past and theoretically could occur in the future and consider how you could actually live in this house and this area, the house, the location, and the price may have a change your view of things. Look at the aerial photo again. That vast area at the bottom right of the photo is Smathers Beach. People from all over the world to come to Key West to lay there and play there; to soak of the sun; and to chill.

I think 1709 George Street could make a nice family home or an inexpensive second home retreat for the budget minded. The area has a mix of homes that have been upgraded and remodeled. But there are some mid century houses and duplexes in the area that have not. At $350,000 this house offers a lot of value in my opinion.
