906 Florida Street in
Key West is an Arts and Crafts style bungalow with two bedrooms, two baths, and lots of charm packed inside the 1061 sq ft of living space (not including the enclosed front porch. Although
the Monroe County Property Appraiser shows the construction date as 1938
(which was in the midst of the Great Depression) I think the more
logical date would have been the 1920s. The house is located at the
corner of Florida and Albury Streets. The house sits behind a tall
fence which provides privacy from passing dogs, bicyclists, joggers,
walkers, and other area residents and tourists who happen to stumble
upon this little block located one block north of Bayview Park.
I
dug into the old shoe box and found two photos of 906 Florida Street
and learned that there used to be a second cottage on the lot. On the
day I arrived to take photos of this property I parked my car on Albury
Street which runs parallel to Truman Avenue. I remarked to myself as I
excited the car how long the lot was and how densely populated it was
with tropical foliage. (The lot is 90' long and 40' wide or 3630 sq ft.)
When I found the second photo I understood why the lot was so large -
there used to be a second cottage on the lot. The second cottage was
razed and the old cement block fence has been replaced with a tall wood
privacy fence.
The listing Realtor, Mitzi Krabil, describes the property this way:
"This charming remodeled 2 bedroom 2 bath home is located on a private fenced
corner lot in the popular Meadows neighborhood. The living room with vaulted
ceiling opens through several sets of French doors to the pool, garden and hot
tub. Additional features include a new kitchen and electrical service, off
street parking, and hurricane rated shutters. Well maintained and easy to show."
Glass
windows now enclose the previously screened front porch. The current
owners use this space as an artist studio. Imagine how you might use
this well lighted space. When you enter the front door you step into an
area the owners use as an office but the space could have many
alternative uses. The recently updated kitchen follows. Note the window
view your mate will have as he or she does the dishes.
The
living room or great room is located at the rear of the house. The
vaulted ceiling really makes this space seem very large. French doors
open out to the pool and hot tube (protected by its own little canopy).
The garden is lush with tropical foliage. As soon as I saw this space I
thought about buyers who want a place that could be rented as a
vacation rental and said to myself this would make a great vacation
rental property. The outdoor space is just amazing.
