Many frequent travelers to Key West will recognize the address of 620 Thomas Street as being the location of the Shipyard Condominiums in Truman Annex. I'll venture that most wouldn't associate the word "luxury" with units that they stayed in however. While 620 Thomas Street #281 does have a valuable Special Truman Annex Transient License which permits owners to rent units for 25 weeks each year, this home has only been used as a second home by this owner. Take a look at the photos and you may agree with my decision to call this unit affordable luxury.
This two bedroom, two bath unit is about 100 sq ft larger than most of the other units and offers owners more practical use. Having a second bathroom is a plus no matter whether a condo is used as a full time home, a vacation retreat, or as a getaway with income potential.
This unit has been beautifully updated with new wood floors, sound-proofing, smart kitchen cabinets and high-end appliances, and two luxurious bathrooms. I ask serious buyers to compare this kitchen and these bathrooms to what you will probably see in many of the other units offered for sale - original kitchens. There's nothing wrong in buying a workhorse kitchen and bath. But is that were you want to make your dinner or take a bath?
Unit #281 is located about 250 paces from the Shipyard swimming pool. Depending on your point of view, that's a long way away or just about perfect. Units that abut the pool have immediate access. Units a short walk away do not hear the noise.
Returning visitors love stay in Shipyard condos love the location because of its proximity to Duval Street and all that Key West has to offer. The new Truman Annex Waterfront Park is getting better and better as trees and foliage takes off. Ft. Zachary Taylor State Park and Beach are within easy walking distance for those who prefer salt water and sandy feet to sharing a pool. It all works out no matter what your preference.
