Preferred Properties Key West is the listing brokerage for this property. That is where I work, but this is not my listing. The listing Realtor describes 801 - 807 Fleming Street this way:
"TWO HOUSES IN OLD TOWN! This extensively renovated prime Old Town property
consists of 2 historic homes that each have 2BR/1BA plus an apartment over the
enclosed garage. Added features include a large pool with waterfall located
between both homes along with outdoor shower, modernized bathrooms and stainless
steel appliances. If people watching is your cup of tea, there are porches off
each home that overlook the popular Fleming Street. Within walking distance to
famed Duval Street, shops, restaurants, and bars."

801 Fleming Street (top of the blog) is located at the corner of William and Fleming Street. This house has two bedrooms on the main level, a living room that opens out to a decked area off the large pool. A large slider opens most of the room to the outside when weather permits. A two story carriage house is located adjacent on William Street. The downstairs space is an air conditioned garage and laundry. The second floor is a large guest apartment with mini-bar.
807 Fleming Street looks like a super old fashioned cottage from the street. But when you pass the white picket fence and comfortable front porch that's perfect for people watching, you enter into a contemporary that offers two bedrooms with shared bath, a large living space, kitchen, and laundry.
The two homes are unified into one large property by the extra large and quite stunning pool with raised edge that provides an unique place aside the pool. The pool is framed by a large mosaic wall and fountain that provides privacy from passersby on Fleming Street. The design and implementation are amazing. This concept works!
I think this property will appeal to a buyer with considerable cash to invest in a second home that has the potential to be rented as a
vacation rental. In fact, this home already has a track record as a vacation rental. There are only a few properties in Key West with
five bedrooms - this is the only one with a
huge pool, an air conditioned
garage, and a killer
location. This property would appeal to couples traveling together but who want their own separate quarters. It will also appeal to a couple with grown children or grandchildren who require separate spaces. Nobody will feel slighted because both homes offer
superior amenities and spaces. At the same time each home offers
privacy. Even the occupant(s) of the
carriage house will have privacy.
