I recently showed some potential buyers the really charming house at 1709 Washington Street which I told my buyers was located in "the country". Up north in America the term country evokes the image of wheat or corn fields, cows and chickens, and a quite pastoral lifestyle. Down here in Key West country conjures up houses with big lots located on one of the side streets with no sidewalks and tropical landscaping in the area just east of White Street on the south end of the island. We met the listing broker at the house and she shared with us a similar feeling about the location and this particular house as having a country feel. In her listing, the broker describes 1709 Washington Street this way:
"This charming historic home features two bedrooms, two baths plus a large eat-in kitchen, high ceilings with crown moldings and a wrap around porch. There is a spacious covered porch that functions as an outdoor living/dining room and opens to the sunny decked pool area. Easy to see."
This home has a really nice back area with a semi-enclosed deck area with orchid garden. The pool is extra large and ought to remain quite sunny during most of the day. Buyers who like to actually swim in a pool will love this pool. And there is even an outdoor shower. Move to Key West and you will learn to really love taking showers under the sun or moon.
