Just listed, but not by me, 3B Nassau Lane in Old Town Key West.
The new listing at 3 B Nassau Lane in Old Town Key West ought to excite buyers who want an affordable single family house in a great location - the asking price is just $399,000. The listing Realtor describes the listing like this:
"The definition of Key Westy. Quaint, comfortable, in the most strategic location for one that wants to walk to all the good places. This home comes turn key, completely furnished and you'll agree it is fashionably impressive. Look no further."
I found the photo above taken in 1965 of 3B Nassau Lane. I added an arrow to distinguish it from its neighbor, 3A. A recent owner did significant renewal to this little gem. The house is move in ready. All you have to do is bring your toothbrush because it is offered fully furnished as well.
I searched the historic Sanborn Fire Maps and learned that this house was in the 1892 edition and that Nassau Lane had been previously been called Cologne Lane.
3B Nassau Lane is 'done', so a new owner can move in and not worry about having to renovate or spend more money. Everything inside and outside looks pristine. Smaller homes are usually less expensive to maintain and to insure than larger properties. If you anticipate having a lot guests, there is a nearby guesthouse at the corner of Fleming Street. If you think about it, it would be cheaper to put your friends and relatives up in a guesthouse for a week than it would be to spend an extra couple of hundred thousand dollars to buy a place with a second bedroom for occasional use.
