After Thanksgiving - Open House Saturday - 4:00 to 6:00 PM

Preferred Properties CRI is hosting an Open House on Saturday between 4:00 P.M. and 6:00 P.M. Stop by 416 Elizabeth Street and 712 Southard Street and 1110 Curry Lane to view four beautiful Conch homes with great Old Town locations.

416 Elizabeth Street is a rather unassuming property consisting of two houses and one cottage with six en suite bedrooms and seven baths. Built circa 1873, the historic main house features a peerless restoration, with details such as polished hardwood floors, with the original windows and doors restored. A veranda overlooking the swimming pool and lush grounds is carefully built around an ancient Spanish lime tree. A galley kitchen includes stainless-steel counter tops and appliances and custom cabinets. This historic gem is a classic example of the casual, yet elegant, indoor and outdoor living lifestyle for which Key West is famous. Thomas McGuane, known for his "92 in the Shade" and "Panama", resided at 416 Elizabeth St. CLICK HERE for more photos and info on this elegant property.

712 Southard Street is a beautifully appointed shotgun style Conch Cottage on the best block in Key West. The house has two nice size bedrooms and bathrooms, a great new kitchen with cathedral ceiling that opens onto the glass tiled kidney shaped heated pool surrounded by tropical landscaping. And it is located only two blocks from world famous Duval Street. CLICK HERE for more info and photos of 712 Southard Street.

804 Elizabeth Street is a classic Eyebrow house with sawtooth additions has two driveways. It has been recently renovated with new kitchen, baths, ac/heating systems, and upgraded plumbing and electrical systems. The ceilings have been vaulted in the dining room and den and there is a new heated swimming pool. And there are two off street parking spots. CLICK HERE for more info and photos of this beautiful home.

1110 Curry Lane is located on one of Key West's hidden lanes between Fleming and Southard Streets and sandwiched between White and Frances Streets. The lane is only one block long and it has several ultra sweet homes like this one.

Please join me, Gary Thomas, at 712 Southard Street and my fellow Realtors at 416 Elizabeth Street to view both of these charming Key West homes just before the sun sets and the evening begins. You will get a chance to see how wonderful life can be in your own Key West Conch House, whether it is a cottage or a great house.

804 Elizabeth Old Town Key West Historic Eyebrow

804 Elizabeth Street in Old Town Key West is a quintessential classic Key West “eyebrow” style home complete with two saw tooth additions. One sawtooth addition is the formal dining room with vaulted ceiling. Just behind the dining room is the second sawtooth addition (probably the "cook house" in olden times) with its authentic naturally weathered wood vaulted ceiling. The owner has been careful to preserve the Dade County pine walls in the older parts of the house. Upstairs there are even some of the original floors. This home is a great example of the transition from old eyebrow house to a comfortable home that reflects today’s lifestyle. There is a new kitchen in the rear that overlooks the stunning 36 foot pool and gardens. This home was the subject of the TV program “In a Fix”, a few years ago. Truth be known, the owner had to redo what the TV program "fixed". But it was fun to watch.

I've shown this house several times and I absolutely love it. It is a charm to show. The house invites you to sit down and relax. Not a lot of houses do that. But this one does. This is a house you could be comfortable to live in. The rooms are people sized. They aren't too grand. They are not too small. They are livable. And that pool is incredible. The only complaint I've heard is that there aren't enough trees or foliage. That's fixable: plant more.

The master bedroom is located on the ground floor at the rear overlooking the pool. There is an adjacent office that could be remodeled to create a new master bath and master bed suite. And there is room to expand the master bedroom area if desired.

804 Elizabeth sits just a few feet below to the top of Solares Hill. It is a short three minute walk to Duval. The famous Seven Fish Restaurant is a one minute walk. The 800 block of Elizabeth has a mix of restored homes and houses that have been in place of decades. It is a real Key West neighborhood. This 4 bed 2 bath Eyebrow House has 1940 sq ft and sits on a large 5876 sq ft lot. It is offered at $1,250,000 or $644 per sq ft. CLICK HERE for more details and additional photos of the property.
