The asking price on
911 United Street in
Key West was just reduced from $1,295,000 to
$1,189,900. While this beautiful house looks like a classic Conch Revival, it was
actually built new in 2000. The listing Realtor describes the property
as a:
"Meticulously maintained home on corner lot featuring open floor plan with
sliders leading to the deck with covered outdoor area, heated pool and spa.
Three bedrooms, two full, two half baths. Master and guest bedroom on the second
floor ensuite. Large his and hers closets in master with ample storage in master
bath. Master balcony accesses pool area via a spiral staircase. Guest suite has
private covered porch. Spacious third bedroom perfect for overflow guests &
can also be used as an office. Off street parking for one car, professionally
landscaped with lighting & irrigation. Located in the X Zone, hardy board
construction and colonial storm shutters."
This
2380 sq ft home
sits at the corner of United and Packer Street. The 2970 sq ft lot is
an irregular 34' X 94'. The house sits towards the font of the
lot. The back portion of the lot contains the pool and rear garden area.
And there is private off street parking located behind the fenced pool
area.
911 United Street offers three full floors of living space. The first
floor includes a formal entry way which leads to the kitchen and
great room just beyond. Notice the travertine marble floors, large baseboards and crown molding that would work equally well if decorated in a traditional semi-formal theme or with a relaxed Key West tropical theme. The second floor includes the guest bedroom with
en-suite bath at the front of the house and the generous master bedroom
at the rear. Both bedrooms have access to separate balconies. The rear
balcony overlooks the pool below.

This
home and land are owned in fee simple, just like your home up north in
America. But here in Key West, this property is classified as a "land
based condominium". The condominium designation allowed the construction of new single
family homes (and the renovation one existing property) on lots that were
smaller in size than required for new single family home construction.
Some of the homes share a private lane that leads to off street parking
spaces. Condo fees are just $325
yearly. Here the homeowner pays all maintenance and insurance costs just as you would on a single family home where you live.
A
spiral stairway leads to the overly large third floor. The space runs
the length of the house. The front space could accommodate a single
bed. The back space currently has a daybed and office furniture. There
is more than enough room for a king size bed in the space. There is a
small bath on this floor as well.
As
noted above, a door off the master suite exits on to the rear second
floor balcony that overlooks the pool and garden. A stairway provides
access from the balcony for an early morning or late night dip in the
private pool or spa.
