616 Caroline Street - Key WestPlease excuse my exuberance, but I think the new listing at 616 Caroline Street, Unit #4, is quite the buying opportunity for that person that wants a Key West pied a tere that really deserves that moniker and is priced so affordably. The listing broker describes this property thus:
"Grand home converted into designer condos. This unit is offered fully furnished and includes hardwood floors, marble countertops in the kitchen and bathrooms, high ceilings, antique glass windows and a private balcony. Relax by the pool and spa surrounded by lush tropical gardens or stroll one block to Duval Street."
The property has been graciously updated and offers Asian Teak flooring throughout; High Ceilings & Antique Glass Windows; Smart-wired & Digital-ready, Stainless Steel Appliances; Crown Molding; Spacious balconies overlooking the Key West Bight; Ample Storage Areas; and Interiors by Award-Winning Designer, Pascal Delisse. All of this plus two bedrooms, two baths, 806 sq ft of living space, a pool and a spa for just $425,000. CLICK HERE to view the Key Wet mls datasheet and to view listing photos. (My camera is kaput so I must rely on listing photos until my new camera is functional. [I need someone to show me how to operate it.])
This unit will not last long at this price. It was originally listed for sale at $949,000 and now it is offered at about a 65% discount. Compare the size, location, amenities, and historic and authentic Key West charm to similarly priced condos at Shipyard in Truman Annex. This place is a bit bigger, the pool is much more private, you won't have someone walking around in clogs over your head at night, and it is an easy five minute walk to some of the best bars and restaurants at the Historic Key West Seaport. I like Truman Annex and Shipyard offers a lot of value for first time buyers. This place is a very good counterpoint.
The Seaport is a two block walk east of 616 Caroline Street. Take a hike!I think this property would make a most excellent vacation rental (30 days minimum) because of its size, location, and amenities. Returning guests love places like this that are near everything and have all the modern conveniences.
Harpoon Harry's is a couple of blocks down Caroline Street where you will be treated kindly and served very good food at an affordable price. Dances are cheap, too.
By day or night guests or friends and family can walk to the Seaport for fun
