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 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.

1108 Fleming Street, Key West

 

Just listed 1108 Fleming Street, Key West.This Old Town home is post card perfect and should appeal to the most discerning buyer. The listing broker describes the home this way:

"On a famed street spanning the heart of Old Town Key West sits this quintessential 3BD/3BA Key West conch house. The charming front porch is framed with bougainvillea and the updated open floor plan opens perfectly to the great indoor/outdoor living room. The kitchen & living room are filled with natural light up to the high vaulted ceilings. Hard wood floors as well as a wall of glass out to the patio & heated pool provide class and comfort. The main house offers a 1st floor bedroom & 2nd floor owner's suite with an office space. The detached 1BD/1BA guest cottage has access off Curry lane, opens onto the sunny patio & pool area that is perfect for entertaining w/ a wet bar & space for dining. Outdoor shower & Bricked off-street parking off Curry Ln. is in the rear of the home."

 

The Monroe County Property Appraiser records show this home was substantially renovated in 1999. I assume that is when the new addition at the rear of the main house was added. That room has three sets of glass panel doors with clerestory windows above. The view from the inside looking out is captivating. The lot measures 25 Ft wide by 105 Ft deep. The guest cottage at the rear abuts Curry Lane, one of the slowest of the slow lanes in Key West. There is one off street parking space located behind the cottage. I mention this because there is no public view of the back yard, the  pool. or the back of the house - thus no need for curtains.

The master bedroom is located on the second floor. There is a little sitting room or office outside the bedroom. A small set of French doors that separate the two areas. The bath fits nicely in the front.

There is a convenience store located a the end of the block. The two best bakeries in town are located on Eaton Street, just one block to the north. Duval Street is a short stroll to the west. There are dozens of cute little cottages and big old mansions to ogle on the way to any destination.What a perfect little Key West home. Style, grace, warmth, whimsy, charm, and location. (And off street parking!)

1206 Margaret Street, Key West - Move-in Ready

The absolutely delightful little house at 1206 Margaret Street in Key West is now available for purchase at $1,195,000.  It has three bedrooms, three baths, a pool, spa, decks, and is move-in ready.  I remember being inside this house several years ago before it was renovated. I even thought I wrote about it in my blog which is "searchable". Alas I could not find the before blog if I indeed wrote one. I did find a photo taken in 1965 which shows how the house looked back then. See below.

The late 2019 version of 1206 Margaret Street is an improvement on the original. The black and white photo gives readers a better perspective about the size of the lot which measures 43' X 96' that is located in the X Flood Zone.  This home is located in the South of Truman area of Old Town. United Street, located one-half block to the south, is a geological shelf and the second highest elevation in Key West. The lot provides off street parking.

The house has all new doors and windows, new kitchen, bathrooms, new TREX decks, including a covered side dining deck just off the kitchen. The kitchen dazzles with stainless steel appliances including a wine cooler. The original floors were saved and refinished. The house abounds with architectural interest in the ceiling moldings and trim.

The third bedroom is located behind the kitchen. The current owners use this space as a den with sofa bed when the occasional guest needs a place to sleep. French doors open out to the new deck. There is a hot tub, pool, gazebo, plus covered side deck. The area is totally private.

The  two primary bedroom and bathrooms are located on the north side of the house. Everything you see in the photos is clean as can be.  There is, to repeat, nothing to do here. Furnishings are negotiable.

El Siboney restaurant is located at the corner of Margaret and Catherine. Walk four blocks west and you'll end up at Banana Cafe which is absolutely delightful. You may find me there on Christmas Eve. ooh la la is an understatement.
