1621 Sunshine Drive, Key West - Just Listed

Just Listed by yours truly: 1621 Sunshine Drive, Key West. This is a Two Story Three Bedroom / Three Bath 1,672 Square Foot Home built new in 2012. It is located two blocks from the White Street Pier and the Atlantic Beaches. 

But you won't need to go to the beach because you have your own heated pool and tropical garden located right outside your living room or which can be viewed from the deck off your second floor master bedroom.

There is more to this home than its excellent location and heated pool with tropical gardens. Let's take a look starting from the front door.

The house has Hardie Board Siding and Wind Impact Resistant Doors and Windows. The front and rear porches and decks were recently replaced with Lumberrock Premium Decking. The home was recently painted as well. 

A guest bedroom and bath are located just inside the front entry. The entire first floor features Travertine Marble Floors. Apple Homekit switches are installed for 10 wall switches, front door lock, and both thermostats. 

The home features  Hey Siri commands throughout the house and from far away. There are two pantries - one visible in the photo above and the larger walk-in pantry on the opposite wall located next to the laundry room with sink and storage.

The heat and humidity of the summer are gone. You can leave the doors open to the pool and rear garden for the next six months or so. The pool is heated. There is also an outdoor shower.

The master bedroom is located at the rear. It has en-suite bath plus covered rear porch with view of the pool. 

The second floor front bedroom also has a private balcony that faces southwest. You'll have those same wonderful sunsets all year long. The bathroom is en-suite. All bathrooms and the kitchen island have Brazilian Marinachi Granite counter tops. CLICK HERE to view many more photos of this property.

This home will have an Open House Sunday November 14 from Noon till 2:00 PM. No showings earlier. Act soon. I don't think it will last. I you snooze you will lose.

1500 Atlantic Blvd Unit 314, Key West Beach Club Condominiums - Just Listed

Just Listed 1500 Atlantic Boulevard Unit 314 also know as Key West Beach Club Condominiums. While every single unit has a direct ocean view, only a few have front and side views like this one which has views to the east from the living room and rear bedroom. Equally important, the property to the east is a nature preserve where no buildings will ever be built. I'll show you later. The center hall foyer deliviers guest to midpoint to the open living space.Master and guest bedrooms are to the wet, kitchen and medial room to the east. The Atlantic Ocean ir right outside your front window.

Readers familiar with the Beach Club Condominiums may recall all units enter from a north facing walkway with elevator and stairs on each level. This unit is located at the far end of the west building. About half the walkway was captured and became a part of the inter living space and is see at the rear of the kitchen photo and the third bedroom (media room) below.

The captured space adds about 120 Sq Ft of living area to this unit as compared to others. Other units do not have the side window and other units typically walk thru this space to their homes.Makes a Big Difference.

A large guest bedroom and bath are located on the opposite side of the central hallway. This is a spacious room. The windows at the rear look out to the enclosed entry balcony. Nobody other than owners and guests have access to that area. You won't hear tourists dragging luggage or toasting spring break outside your window. Will not happen. 

 The master bedroom has an ocean view and access to the balcony. There is a large en-suite bath and large walk-in closet. But most of all there is that view.The Beach Club Condominiums have two water front pools located on the east and west side of the development. There is space for sunbathing, outdoor dining, a gym, tennis courts, under building storage and parking. 

Whenever I show units at the Beach Club I point out that our annual Fourth of July firework display takes place at the White Street Pier - about six blocks to the west. The fireworks are easy to see as are the shrimpers bobbing in the ocean at night. Day or Night, Holiday and any day, you'll never tire of the changing sky or ocean views from or of Beach Club.

818 Carsten Lane, Key West - Just Listed

 

You've arrived at 818 Carsten Lane, Key West. Lucky you! This is one of the sweetest little houses in Old Town and it is now for sale. If you have been watching the Key West MLS much in the past few weeks, you'll appreciate the opportunity to buy a house that is already done and done right. Let's take a look starting from the front porch and work our way to the pool in the rear.

The listing Realtor describes 818 Carsten Lane thus:

"This quintessential conch cottage is located on a charming lane in the heart of Old Town. The picture perfect two bedroom, two bathroom home has all the features you look for in a renovated historic property. The current owners' total renovation left no detail overlooked. Historic features include a shady front porch, a wide entry hall and lots of Dade County pine on the walls and high ceilings throughout the home. The sleek kitchen and baths are beautifully appointed with modern fixtures and finishes and custom built-in cabinetry that perfectly complement the original features of the home. The spacious sunlit open living area has a vaulted ceiling and opens through glass doors to the rear porch, decked yard and pool with unique water feature.This wonderful property is fenced for privacy and has off-street parking."

I wrote about this same house several years ago after it had been updated by a different owner. The prior incarnation was retro-Victorian. The current owner brought the old house into the 21st Century. The Victoriana was removed as were the original floors. All of the interior was updated. Each bedroom has a bath. The master bath has an emergency exit to the outdoor shower. I have seen this in other houses, but this one includes a glass door which allows outside light to flood the inside. The fixtures, lights - everything flows together. One wall in the master bedroom was repurposed as a bookcase style closet with multiple storage places. The old Dade County Pine ceilings now include recessed ceiling lights.

The former new old-style kitchen was replaced by a modern newer kitchen as well, New windows were added in a side bump-out that dramatically expanded the both the light entering the room but also the sense of space. 

 

The covered rear porch was totally updated as well.  A dysfunctional banister was removed and that dramatically opened the view to the pool. New decking was added as well as the outdoor shower visible in the last photo. The side yards provide storage for bikes and water sports equipment. The fence at the rear abuts Carey Lane which I think is the cutest little lane in town. I mention this because the owners on that lane and the abutting properties on Carsten Lane are all cute cottage style homes.
