903 Grinnell Street Key West - Old Town

The asking price on 903 Grinnell Street was recently reduced to $749,900 which makes it a very attractive buyer looking for a move-in-ready home in Old Town Key West.  I had not shown the property prior to the price reduction. I was genuinely surprised to see how large the house is and how nicely it has been updated.

I looked in the old Sanborn Fire Maps and learned that 703 Grinnell St appeared in the 1892 fire map. Seven years later the house was renumbered to 903 Grinnell Street.  The earlier 1892 edition did not mention any houses in the entire section to the west.  I also dug down in the old shoe box and found the black and white photo below which shows the house as it appeared in 1965.  That seems so long ago, but it's not - really.  The Beatles made their debut on the Ed Sullivan Show the year before.  Ringo and Paul are still alive and kicking. They look great. And the house at 903 Grinnell Street looks great too.  In fact it looks better today than it did forty nine years ago.

The listing Realtor, not me, describes 903 Grinnell Street this way:

"A beautiful Old Town Conch home conveniently located near the White Street corridor and a quick stroll to Duval Street. The 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath home has an open floor plan on the main level with a spacious living/dining, kitchen/den, half bath and third bedroom or office. Upstairs has a split floor plan for privacy with a good sized guest bedroom with ensuite bath and a master bedroom suite with French doors to a private balcony. The home has been totally renovated with hardwood floors throughout, kitchen with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances and multiple sets of French doors opening onto the rear deck which is large enough to accommodate a pool. In addition there is a rocking chair front porch and outdoor shower."

French doors at the rear open out to the large deck area. The listing Realtor says there is room for a pool.  The master bedroom is located on the second floor rear. French doors open out to a private deck that would have a view of the pool if one were built.

This house is surprisingly large - 1500 sq. ft. three bedroom house that sits on a 29' X 58' (1704 sq ft) lot.  The house has Dade County Pine walls but just about everything else in this old house has been replaced or updated.
