The Least and Most Expenseve Homes Sold in Key West in the Past Week - No. 1

 

Since there are few new listings to discuss, I thought it would be interesting to note the sale of the least and most expensive single family home sales in Key West during the prior seven days. I got this idea from a Realtor I just started to follow on TikTok who by the way discussed the concept of slandering particular neighborhoods. I understand exactly what he said and meant. I try not to do that but sometimes fail miserably. Anyway, let's see what happened last week.

Only four single family homes closed during the past week. The least expensive was 312 Amelia Street, located in the Bahama Village area of Key West. See the photo I found of it taken in 1965 and compare it to the current photo in the Key West MLS. This home was listed at $1,169,000 and sold at $1,159,000 or $897.06 per sq ft. This is the same house after being renovated.

The most expensive home was located at 533 Petronia Street in the Old Town area of Key West. It was listed and sold at $3,495,000 or $1,868.98 per sq ft. This is the same house after being moved forward on the lot and renovated from ground to rooftop

I will continue this feature until we get some new listings. And maybe after. 

533 Petronia Street, Key West - JUST LISTED

I just listed 533 Petronia Street, Key West. I held a Broker's Open House yesterday and everybody was delighted to see the home.The remembered back a couple of years ago when an older version of the house was sitting atop wood blocks waiting to be relocated forward on the lot.The relocation of the house allowed room to expand the residence to the rear and a guest cottage and a cool pool. Oh, it's cool. Let's look at a couple of the original house and during renovation.

The house was designed by architect Matthew Stratton. His name appears here quite often. He's good. Really good. The pool and gardens were designed by Craig Reynolds Landscape Architects.  He is really good, too! The front door stayed in place and two guest bedrooms with en-suite baths are located up front. Almost every agent who entered the house walked quickly past he bedrooms to see the pool. They stood in the living area looking and then out to the pool. They all said about the same thing: This is what buyers want.

The poolside guest cottage has killer view of the pool which is both heated and chilled depending on the time of the year. There is an outdoor shower on the backside of the cottage. 

Each of the four bedrooms has an elegant marble bath. Dade County Pine was salvaged from the original house, planed, stained, and placed on teach bathroom ceiling. All of the cainets were made by Hansen & Bringel in Key West. The counter tops are quartz. Kohler top of the line fixtures used throughout. 

The counter top on the kitchen island is Leather Granite. Marble frames the area behind the induction cooking top. The floors are reclaimed heart pine meticulously re-planed by NIPPERS PAINTING. Wolfe and SubZero  appliances (including wine cooler and ice maker) complete the kitchen.

533 Petronia Street Key West is offered at $3,495,000. CLICK HERE to view the Key West MLS datasheet and more photos. Please call or text me, Gary Thomas, 305-766-2642, to arrange a private showing.
