One of the best located condominiums in
Key West was just listed for sale at the asking price of
$639,000.
812 Fleming Street Unit #3 located on the second floor front of the Seafoam Condominiums. The second floor front unit has an expansive balcony (about 25 feet wide) which overlooks colorful Fleming Street amid numerous guest houses and near some of the finest single family homes in Old Town. The historic seaport is located a couple of blocks to the north. Duval Street is about a five minute walk to the west. There are several really great restaurants with three blocks. Locals and returning guests love this location for its convenience and the people who live nearby. Best of all, if you buy this unit you will have a ring side seat to watch the annual People's Parade as it winds its way up Fleming Street each year during Fantasy Fest.
The Seafoam condominiums is a mixed use building with six residential
condominiums and two commercial units that are located on the ground
level front. Timmy Tuxedo occupies one 0f the commercial spots and a doctor's office the
other. Every time I go by Timmy Tuxedo I chuckle at the thought of a tuxedo store in Key West where tee shirts, baggy shorts, and flip-flops are the norm. Whodathunk anybody would need a tux here? They do, otherwise the tuxedo shop would not have existed as long as it has, and it is a Key West institution.
Neither commercial business interferes in any way with the residential living in this building. They have minimal daytime traffic and none in the evening. The
building was built circa 1906. It was renovated and converted
into condominiums in 1980. The one bedroom units are pretty much identical as far as size and layout. Individual owners have renovated the current interiors to
suit their individual needs. Four units have balconies that overlook
Fleming Street including Unit #3. It's a , but just two are located on the top floor. Unit #6 is
the one that is the subject of today's blog. And it is a doozy!
