27 Kingfisher Lane - Key West - Bank Owned - Reduced Price

If you are  a golfer looking for a house on the links or if you're a bargain hunter looking for a two bedroom/tow bath home at an affordable price, 27 Kingfisher Lane located on the Key West Golf Course may be the answer to your dreams.  The listing Realtor, not me, describes this Bank Owned property this way:

"Lovely two bedroom and 2 bath town home is located on a quiet-cul-de sac in the Key West Golf Club. Property is steps away from both of the association's pools. Home has a wrap around porch and a large screened in patio with amazing views of the Golf Course."

 

Kingfisher Lane is located off the main drive that winds its way through the Key West Golf Club community. The lane ends in a large cul-de-sac around which you will find maybe a dozen homes with different views of the golf course. Each house is a built a bit different than the other. 27 Kingfisher Lane is unique in that it has a wraparound porch that adds to the physical size and architectural beauty of this town home. This unit has a large screened back porch and a smallish backyard. There are, however, first and second floor porches at the front. I have been told that owners of similar units have obtained permission to enclose the wrap around porches which could increase the interior of a unit like this substantially.  A new homeowner would need to obtain permission from the homeowner association to undertake such a renovation.

The inside of this unit is typical of most 900 sq ft homes. The kitchen is located at the front. A breakfast bar opens out from the kitchen out to the dining area. The living room occupies the balance of the space. Large sliding doors open out to the enclosed rear porch. The view from both inside the house and especially from the back porch is quite seductive. (The laundry is hidden from view in a closet under the stairway.)

The master and second bedrooms are located on the second floor. Both bedrooms have vaulted ceilings and en-suite baths. The master bedroom has French doors that open out to the front porch.  The back bedroom has great views of the golf course. 

The asking price on  27 Kingfisher Lane has been reduced to $279,900.

A couple of windows and some exterior trim ought to be replaced. I did not notice any other structural issues. A serious buyer needs to have any property inspected by a licensed building inspector.

As an owner at the Key West Golf Club you are entitled to use either of the two community pools. The large pool is just incredible. There is even a small gym located in the community center.

Most of the houses in Old Town, the Meadows, Casa Marina, and even midtown and new town are priced much higher than this property.  A buyer looking for value really ought to look at this property even if only to compare it for price.  I once suggested to a buyer to look at the golf course. He said he didn't play golf. I responded that you don't have to play golf to live at the golf course. What that buyer wanted was value. There are a lot of homes at the golf course that offer value.

"Located in the Sanctuary, an enclave of homes at the Key West Golf Club, this pristine 3BR/2.5BA Great House has an open concept floor plan and first floor den which can be used as a fourth bedroom. Easy indoor/outdoor living with four covered porches, private pool, lounging decks and gardens. Off-street parking and carport. On site gym, clubhouse and twenty-four hour manned and gated security. Easy to show. Come take a look!"

The house has 1600 square feet of living space under air. This home has first and second story front porches and first and second floor covered porches at the rear. The homes and grounds in The Sanctuary look like something you'd see in a movie of an idealized place to live except this is real.  The photos above were taken on the porch located just off the two front bedrooms. These bedrooms have vaulted ceilings that add to the spacious feel of the rooms. They share an adjacent bath. The master suite is at the rear where it has a vaulted ceiling as well plus an en-suite bath and its own private rear porch which looks down to the private pool.

The main level of this home includes a comfortable kitchen that opens onto the dining area and living room. A powder room is located opposite the kitchen. 

A potential fourth bedroom (or guest room or den) is located just off the living room. The space is quite large and offers lots of utility to any homeowner.

This is really worth seeing!

I have become a big fan of many of the homes at the Golf Course, in part, I guess, by the lush vegetation that has grown and flourished there. The streets really are picture perfect. The houses resemble the grand Conch Houses you would see in Old Town Key West. The development as a whole is really attractive.  And once you pass the gated entrance into The Sanctuary you see a host of similarly elegant homes on a the one way street that loops back to the gated entry. The golf course community has two heated two pools, one which is enormous, and a small gym that is available to owners at no additional cost. Monthly homeowner fees are $333 per month (includes cable tv, common area and pool maintenance, and security).
