To quote Andrew's Idea "In Alfred Hitchcock’s world, nothing is more certain than death and
attempts to cover up death." The author then goes on to explain that in The Trouble With Harry Hitchcock
maintains his "critique of depraved humanity throughout the film,
demonstrating uncannily the truth that he who hates his neighbor is
guilty of murder. " But it is this line that makes The Trouble With Harry
germane to today's blog about the cute little house at 915 Angela
Street that is located directly across the street from the Key West
Cemetery: "Turn away from death, and it’s as if it isn’t there."
You will either love 915 Angela Street or you will hate it. Oh, you'll
love the house. There's nothing not to like about the house. It's the
neighbors.
Let me tell you about the neighbors. The house next door to the west
sits at the corner of Margaret and Angela Streets.
The neighbors to the rear are a couple of very large homes accessed off Canfield Lane. The neighbor to the east is a nice house at the corner of Grinnell and Angela. Angela Street is a one way street that runs from Margaret eastward to White Street. It is just one lane wide. Across Angela Street is the Key West Cemetery.
The view from 915 Angela looking directly toward the cemetery. If you are concerned about flooding remember that the cemetery is near the highest point on the island. The big skies and bright sunshine from across the street will never be built upon nor will the neighbors to the west or east. The view that you see today is the view for eternity. Knowing the future in real estate is not necessarily a bad thing. The cemetery bothers the hell out of a lot of potential buyers.Some people refuse to even look at houses anywhere near the cemetery. I guess I understand. Maybe it has some of that "Turn away from death, and it’s as if it isn’t there" going on. This is why I really like 915 Angela Street. First, the place is really nicely laid out for Key West second home living. It is large enough for a couple that has a small family or friends that may drop in for an occasional visit. There are three bedrooms and two baths. The living room opens on the east to a beautiful pool. The living room also opens to the left onto a secluded deck with a hot tub. The master bedroom and bath also open onto that same deck. There is an incredibly sexy outdoor shower tucked away to the side. A second bedroom is located at the right front of the the house. The kitchen and dining area complete the main floor. There is a decent sized third bedroom or office on the second floor. There is enough separation between the rooms to provide the kind of privacy you don't see in many Key West houses. There are two separate off street parking spaces each of which is bricked. The house is just as cute as it can be. This 1350 sq ft home is offered at $998,000. The view from the front porch or the master bedroom looking south across the cemetery changes with each passing cloud. The view is the exact opposite of what you would expect.
