If you are looking for a pretty, clean, comfortable and peaceful place far from the Madding Crowds in Old Town, the Mid Town area of Key West has a great single family home that is a real Short Sale buying opportunity. 1712 Laird Street is located just two blocks from the Atlantic Ocean and the nearby beaches.
Here is how the listing Realtor describes 1712 Laird Street: "This is a wonderful renovation of a concrete block house with high open ceilings, open floor plan and French doors that lead to a large deck and beautifully landscaped gardens. There are 2 bedrooms, 2 beautiful baths with a study that can be used as a third bedroom. Shell stone floors through out, walk-in closets and plentiful storage, central air, stainless steel appliances, beautiful hardwood counter tops and a good sized laundry room. Handsome privacy fencing, off street parking and plenty of room for a pool. This is a potential short sale that may be subject to third party approval."
You enter the property through a beautiful privacy fence into a yard filled with specimen palms and other exotic foliage. The grounds were designed by Ecoscape Landscaping. There is a sprinkler system and exterior lighting as well.
The interior is all very modern and the lines very clean. The living area is on the right side of the house and the eye is drawn to the gardens at the rear. It's as if the yard is saying "Come on outside!" The second bedroom is at front on the left side. There is a door that opens to the outside from that room. The master suite is at the rear. The bedroom has a vaulted ceiling and French doors open to the rear deck. Again, the rear yard beckons. The rear deck is sophisticated, just like the rest of the house. The house and gardens were designed. They did not just occur by happenstance. The marriage of the two makes the one so peaceful.
