317 Whitehead Street, Key West - Bring Your Imagination

 

Just Listed 317 Whitehead Street, Key West. The building at the top left is an historic structure and cannot be taken down. The building on the right is actually concrete block construction and has been approved from demolition by the City of Key West Historic Architectural Approval Commission. The plans provide for the construction of a similar new Conch Style building plus second floor addition that extends far to the rear. The photo just above show the approximate location of where a new pool and sundeck area could be located. The area woul have a new fence and garden and would not be like anything visible today. 

I remember walking up and down Duval Street many times on my first visit to Key West. I ventured east and west on some of the side streets which then were a bit "sketchy:. But that was nearly forty years ago. So much has changed. The once forlorn streetscape it now mostly renovated. Not all, but mostly. Prices were relatively "cheap: then. Not so now. Key West has grown up in so many ways. A town built by pirates and thieves is now managed by politicians with MBA and Legal degrees. 

As much as I jest, Key West is still the best. It is BOOM TOWN right now. There is a lot of money coming here. I know more than I can say. I was awed by the hotels that were purchased prior to Covid. More is on the way in short order and at higher prices than before. More money is flowing into Key West.

Did Gary Have Too Much Eggnog?

I took a nasty fall a couple of weeks ago while I showing a bank owned house. I slipped on some un-kept steps and hit my head and got bruised pretty bad. And then there's the eggnog that is so abundant at Christmastime. So if you think my suggestion that you consider 725 Whitehead Street in Old Town Key West is a little "odd", you can blame on the knot on my noggin or the eggnog. Or both.

725 Whitehead Street is a tiny little house (956 sq ft) sits on a 2075 sq ft lot (21'x98.87') Zoning is HRO which permits single family and office uses. It is located just a few blocks from the Monroe County Courthouse and one block from uber-busy Duval. There is a small guest house located next door to the south. The Bahama Village Shops are across the street at the corner of Petronia. And there is some public housing directly across the street on Whitehead. And there is a big old church on the corner.

CLICK HERE for more photos and information on 725 Whitehead Street. Do not let the asking price of $280,000 dissuade you from considering this little property. It needs work and the owner has asked for all offers with a very quick closing. You may be surprised how inexpensive a redevelopment property can be. Make an offer NOW! It may get accepted.

It's easy to get in to see this house. Please call me, Gary Thomas, 305-766-2642, to schedule a showing.
