524 Margaret Street #3 - Old Town Key West

 The Pool at 524 Margaret Street - Key West

Just listed, but not by me, 524 Margaret Street #3 in Old Town Key West.

I dug into the old shoe box and found a black and white photo (below) that was taken back in 1965.  Compare the old pic with the color photo just below it. You will notice the windows are different, shutters have been added, the chain link fence has been replaced by a white picket fence, and an exterior stairway added to the left side.  These readily observable changes don't tell the whole story, however. As prices on real estate escalated in the early 2000s a lot of large single family homes and some places that had earlier been converted into apartments were then made into condominiums. Such was the case for 524 Margaret Street when it was sold by author Nancy Friday in April 2002 to two Key West Realtors who then converted the four apartments into condominiums.  Their design captured the attention of the real estate market and the units quickly sold.

 Unit #3 is located in the rear and has two bedrooms, a good sized living room, a recently updated kitchen with vaulted ceiling, the ever popular Dade County Pine walls, and French doors that open out to the private deck that overlooks the shared pool. The unit has 652 sq ft of living space and is offered at just $250,000. CLICK HERE to view the Key West Association of Realtors mls datasheet.
