923 Angela Street - Old Town - Key West

Just Listed 923 Angela Street, Key West, Florida.  This storybook cottage is located on a quiet one-way land in the Old Town Historic District within easy walking or biking distance to Duval Street and the Historic Seaport. You may have seen this house in my blog before as it, like many of our other little houses, has been sold and re-sold several times over the years. Each successive owner has done this and that to improve the simple wooden house.

I dug down into my old shoebox and found the black and white photo taken in 1965 and the color photo just below which was dated 1986.  The most recent owners did a thorough restoration of the property for which they were awarded the Historic Florida Keys Foundation 2017 Ceramic Star for Historic Preservation. That included replacement of piers, new kitchen, two new full baths, pool addition, and upgrading the interiors.

The new white kitchen with granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances harmoniously blends with the traditional conch cottage. The Dade County Pine walls were restored and sealed. New wood floors added. Ceiling and trim work painted crisp white. Everything works!

This home has two bedrooms and two full bath rooms including the guest room located at the rear. French panel doors open out to the lanai where the new heated pool and waterfall sit amidst illuminated and irrigated tropical foliage.

The backyard, pool area, and outdoor shower are totally private. The houses on either side are one-story and do not have a view of the rear nor does the property to the rear. A new owner can be as free as he or she or they please.

Dormers were added to the second floor of the original house thereby creating a cute little office area with hidden storage plus a full bath worthy of inclusion in a home decor magazine.

The private roof-top sun deck is the topping on the cake so to speak. What a great little place to relax - and it's just that nearer to heaven.

Key West Home Buy Christmas - 923 Angela Street - Old Town

Just listed, but not by me, 923 Angela Street in the Old Town area of Key West.  The listing agent describes this lovely property this way:

"Classic Keys Cottage on a quiet Old Town Lane. Perfect porch for sunset views and peaks of local color. Traditional Conch style casual with Dade County Pine, wood flooring, lots of natural sunlight and just the right amount of outdoor space to enjoy gardening or doing absolutely nothing. One bedroom, one bath on main floor. Den/Office/Guest Room on the second level with small balcony and amazing views."

I dug into the old shoe box and found the above black and white photo of 923 Angela Street that was taken in 1965. The note on the photos says this house was built in the 1920s. Compare the old facade with the picture I took last weekend, below.

I got to show this house last week. It shows great. The front entry is a small vestibule which opens into the living room on the right or the stairway to the second floor.

 

This home has 1254 sq ft of living space divided between the main floor and second floor (which is a bit smaller in size).  The kitchen is located just off the living room.

 The main bedroom and only bath are located at the back of the first floor. A covered veranda and deck are located at the rear of the property. 

Upstairs you will find a nice sunny room with windows that look south toward the Key West cemetery and dormers at the rear which add to the interior space.  There is also access to a small rooftop rear area.

 923 Angela Street is located across from the Key West cemetery on Angela Street which is a one-way lane (only about 10 feet wide) which runs from Frances Street at the east to Margaret Street at the west. Traffic is very limited and you won't have a Conch train or trolley bus going past your house with loudspeaker telling tales throughout the day. The neighborhood is mostly "locals" and no commercial or apartments, there should not be much competition for on street parking. Duval Street is about a five to seven minute walk as is the Historic Key West Seaport.

923 Angela Street is offered at $649,000. CLICK HERE to view the Key West Association of Realtors mls datasheet.  And CLICK HERE to view a slideshow of additional photos I took of this home.
