The asking price for the top floor unit at 800 Fleming Street 3-B was just reduced to $875,000. That makes this unit a buying opportunity in my opinion. This is one of the earliest and finest renovated buildings in Key West and it certainly enjoys the prime location of about any single property in Old Town. The historic seaport is located three small blocks to the north and Duval Street is located three blocks west. You can be at any incredible Old Town location in a matter of minutes by foot. And when you return home you will be in the highest location in this part of town. Each home has one car space just in case you have the need to drive.
The shared pool is sunny most of the day. I have only seen real people sunning or playing there on the few occasions I have shown units at this location. The fact is that most pools go unused most of the time. They are great selling features that lure prospective buyers into envisioning themselves laying in sun or playing in the pool. But reality sets in when you have a life and find the need to make money or spend it.
There are two different ways to enter this third floor unit. There is the traditional entry at the side door on William Street where an interior staircase leads to the third floor entry foyer. I took the exterior staircase located inside the property and just opposite the parking area where each unit has an assigned space. There are two units on the south side both of which have views of the pool. It's just that this unit has the better of the two views. The spaces inside this unit are voluminous. I think a new owner will have a ball decorating the space.
The kitchen is a bit old but not ancient. A companion of mine suggested taking out part or all of the wall behind the sink and opening the area. The foyer is located on the other side. Opening that space might make a lot of sense and that would give a new homeowner the chance to really make this space personal.
Other unit owners have added mini-split ACs. There is space on the side where this could be done. These units operate like a whisper and do not make any noise common in traditional window or all units which, though cheap to replace, are expensive to operate as compared to mini-splits.
