1215 Grinnell Street, Key West - Developer Home Now Available

Just Listed by Preferred Properties Key West, that is where I work, but this is not my listing:                   1215 Grinnell Street. This stand alone home is located at the center rear of the Grinnell Gardens Compound created in 1990. This home was retained and lived in by the developer who created this unique community of three stand alone houses built on postage stamp lot and two side-side town homes that replicate Grand Conch Revival architecture found throughout Old Town. The compound has a secured front entrance and mailbox station. The focal point upon entering the compound is the shared community pool with large open sunning and seating area.

The focal point is the pool of the compound is the sunny pool and tropical setting. 1215 Grinnell Street is tucked behind the pool for privacy. 

I have written about homes in this compound for over a decade. Yes my blog is getting old but I have photos that go way back and show how the houses and grounds have fared over the years including two photos that show 1215 Grinnell with more detail than the current listing photos - voila!

Two of the free standing homes have private pools. All share the community pool pictured above. I know a lot of potential buyers want a place of their very own and have never thought of living in a compound. I "get" the resistance argument. But there is also a separate universe of potential buyers who appreciate having full time neighbors who will keep on the place when the owners are not in town. I recently sold the unit pictured above. The owner is one of the full time residents. Association fees are only $250 per month and include cable,  pool and grounds maintenance.

This stand alone house is 1,535 Square Feet. The developer retained this unit for himself. Now it has three bedrooms, three baths, and would benefit from a renovation. I'll share just two pics. 

I think most American adults would agree that turning 30 years old was frightful. Then they got on with living their life. The kitchen and baths are from another era. The tiles and floors are varied. The wall colors go from white to vibrant. Styles change. Houses get older. People grow wiser. Mostly.

Grinnell Gardens is located four blocks east of Duval Street and a short stroll or bike ride to Higgs Beach or South Beach.

1217 Grinnell Street, Key West

 

Just Listed 1217 Grinnell Street, Key West.  This is a free standing single family home located on a 3,386 Sq Ft Lot lot in the Grinnell Gardens Compound.  Long time readers may recall I have written about other units here including a single family home I listed in February of this year. It sold during the first week it was on the market. This property may sell just as quick. Let's look in back and then go inside.

The Grinnell Gardens Compound was built in 1990. There are two two story duplex type town homes and three single family homes situated on individual lots. 1217 Grinnell is one of two of the single family homes that has its own private pool and spa. This home has been significantly renovated and is in perfect condition.

This home is located on the back south side of the complex. It is totally private. You enter into a private foyer that leads to the living room to the right or the eat-in kitchen to the left.

The 1,560 Sq Ft home shows so well because it was designed so well. Three sets of glass panel doors front onto the private courtyard with first and second floor porches and balconies. Two sets of glass doors open out to the private pool. There is a guest bath tucked at the rear of the formal dining area.

The kitchen will surpass anything you see on the marker in this price range. Period!

There is new Trex decking around the pool which also ha a dining area - lots of places to dine and entertain. The washer and dryer are located in a small a stand alone building. That keeps the noise and humidity over there and not inside the house.
