109 Front Street No. 112, Key West - Harbour Place Waterfront Condominium

There are seven distinct communities at Truman Annex in Key West. The one with the Million Dollar Views is Harbour Place Condominiums. If you are reading my blog you may be considering the purchase of a home or condo in Key West - perhaps you are looking for the perfect place to retire to in a few years. Or maybe you are just looking for a safe place to invest some excess cash in the hope that it will multiply in value as our economy prospers in the years to come. You probably want a place where you can enjoy all that Key West has to offer and make some money along the way to help pay for that investment. The new condominium listing at 109 Front Street, Unit No. 109 at the Harbour Place Condominiums in Key West may be the place you have been hoping to find. All a new owner needs to do is re-activate the Transient License which permits up to 26 weekly rentals each year.

When you step onto your the expansive private balcony and overlook the boardwalk and then view the private yachts and giant ships and Sunset Key beyond you will know that you came out just fine. Take a look at this immaculate 1350 square foot two bedroom two and one-half bath designer condominium where nothing has been left to chance.

Upon opening the front door you enter into a vestibule you immediately notice the new wood floors and tray ceiling. As you look toward the living room you will see that space also has a tray ceiling. These features are not common features at Harbour Place. This is an unexpected upgrade. If you look to your left you see the bedroom wing. If your right  you will see the custom kitchen with a breakfast bar that opens into the living area. While this place is grand, it is not stuffy. It is designed for comfortable and luxurious living.

This is not your ordinary master suite. This master suite has a formal entry hall that leads past the es-suite bath into the bedroom chamber. The bath has a handsome vanity, jetted marble bath, and shower. The bedroom has two walls of windows where Plantation Shutters provide muted views of the waterfront looking past the Fort Zachary Taylor to the south and Sunset Key to the northwest. A door leads from the bedroom out to the deck where you can sip your morning coffee or take a breath of fresh air before you go to bed.

The guest bedroom and bath are located at the far end of the hallway. What a great place this would be for your guests to snuggle.  When I pulled back the Plantation Shutters I got to see two huge cruise ships as passengers disembarked to enjoy their day in Key West. When I photographed a two different units last year neither berth had a cruise ship. It was especially enjoyable for me to see these huge floating hotels outside the window. Water views change daily if not hourly. I think your guests would fall in love with watching people from around the world come to spend a day in Key West. This also the perfect place to watch nightly sunset. You and your guests can nurse your favorite cocktails as the sun sets.

This luxurious waterfront condominium can be purchased fully furnished including all the little brick-a-brac.  I opened the kitchen cabinets to determine the quality of the cabinetry. The base and upper level cabinets are nothing but the finest. The basket-woven inset in the upper level cabinets sits behind glass. I suppose a new owner could remove this to add a new insert or take it out entirely to create an entirely different look. The base cabinets have extra-wide draws for storing all mater of things one might use to create a meal on those nights you decide to dine at home rather than going out to one a dozens of wonderful Key West eateries. Note the cute little bar sink located to the side.

The living room has wrap-around windows that look out to the expansive deck which overlooks the waterfront. Note again how the tray ceiling helps define the separation between the living room from the dining area and entry hall. Little things like crown molding, built-in sound system, and high-end light switches distinguish this unit from the standard fare. This unit also conveys with exclusive use of two under building assigned parking spaces. CLICK HERE to view more photos I took of this special unit.

Price Reduction - Key West Beach Club Unit #413

The lure of the sea, that is what it is. It is the ever changing views of sky and water; the birds and boats and man that make the reflections seen in the mirror at the new Preferred Properties listing at Key West Beach Club Condominiums so captivating.  No matter which unit I have gone to at the Beach Club, my eyes are always immediately drawn through the unit and out to the direct water view. You see, only at Key West Beach Club does each unit come with a direct water view.

Guest Bedroom

Master Suite

If you venture up the spiral staircase you might just fall in love with this place. I'd definitely make this my master suite. I'm not fond of spiral stairs, but I'd make an extra special exception in this case. The space is just wonderful.

Penthouse Loft

I think I must have been a seaman in a former life. But I get seasick, so I probably wasn't.  Still, I love to just stare at the horizon and watch the sky and ocean change colors. When storms head our way the sky turns gray and ominous.  The wind blows and the palm trees sway.  The ocean churns and spits up seaweed. The afternoon I took these photos a bunch of turtle sponges had washed ashore (see the second photo from the top). At night you may see the tiny lights on boats out in deeper water. Whatever time of day you look out at the water, the view will always be a bit different. CLICK HERE to view a slideshow of photos I took of this waterfront property.
