606 Truman Avemue Unit 10, Key West - Great Old Town Bargain

Buyers seeking a well maintained primary residence or a second home with monthly vacation rental possibilities should take a look at 606 Truman Avenue #10 at Windward Park. This group of 13 town homes were built in 1988 to reflect the architecture of Old Town Key West but which have all the features for modern day living. 

The black and white photos above show the area around 606 Truman Avenue as it appeared in the late 1960s. The old cottages were located to the east of Duffy's where a small trailer park once existed. The cottages were razed and the trailers relocated to make way for Windward Park. The grove of trees to the left of the Duffy's sign now shades the Winward Park parking area. The location itself is about seventy-five feet to Simonton Street which leads to the Atlantic Ocean six blocks to the south and the Gulf of Mexico nine blocks to the north. Duval Street is one block to the west where the world comes to party.

606 Truman Avenue No 5, Key West - Transient Licesensed Unit

Preferred Properties Key West (that's where I work but this is not my listing) is the listing brokerage for 606 Truman Avenue No. 5), a sharp 2/2 Windward Park town home which is offered at  just $924,500.  The home offers 1260 sq ft of living space divided between the two floors with two master suites.

Two magnificent Royal Poinciana Trees frame the entrance into the Windward Park Townhome compound. In two or three weeks these trees will blossom and this private parking area will be fully ablaze with millions of tiny red flowers. When you pass through the electronically gated entry the first thing you will probably notice is the very large and usually sunny pool around which most of the thirteen homes are located. Unit No. 5 is tucked away to the left.

The listing Realtor describes this property this way:

"Two bedroom/two bath transient rental property in Windward Park. Immaculately maintained by very particular owners; lots of upgrades and recent attention to every detail of the property. A private island oasis of only 13 townhomes in a compound only a short walk from Duval Street and yet a great distance from the hustle and bustle. Large, heated community pool, X flood zone and security gate entrance along with an assigned, deeded parking spot are some of the important features of this HOA. Excellent rental record making this property a wonderful investment or personal vacation home."

The main living area with the second floor "catwalk" can bee seen in a couple of other units at Windward Park but not all. The catwalk certainly adds dramatic flair to the living space where the ceiling soars two stories.  Otherwise, the main floor is laid out traditionally with the living room and dining area at front followed. One of two master suites is located at the rear. There is a main floor bathroom with access off either the living area or from the bedroom. French doors open from the bedroom to a private deck where an owner or guest could get an all over Key West tan. The washer and dryer are located here which means the noise and humidity will be outside not inside.

If you have looked at other town homes, condos, or even moderately price old houses in Key West before you have probably found that many bedrooms are rather small and often dark. Not so here. The second floor master bedroom is extra large.  If you prefer sleeping in a king size bed, you will have room to spare in this big boy bedroom that has windows that face overlook the gardens of St. Mary's of the Sea Basilica. This bedroom also has an extra large closet with owners' lockout. The en-suite bath is also extra large. Compare the size of both bedrooms to similarly priced units at Truman Annex which can only be rented for 25 weeks each year on a transient basis. Put yourself in the position of a renter and ask where would I rather sleep? CLICK HERE to view more photos I took of this home.

I am a buyers agent and a full time Realtor at Preferred Properties Key West. I took photos of this unit late yesterday afternoon where I was sandwhiched in between other agents showing the place to prospective buyers. The last transient licensed unit went under contract in a matter of days after it was listed. I think this one will to. This place is clean as a whistle. There is no deferred maintenance. It's got a valuable full City of Key West Transient License which allows for 52 weekly rentals. The unit is one block from Duval and close to all that Old Town has to offer. Need I say more!

606 Truman Ave. #7 Key West - Transient Licensed Town Home

The listing Realtor describes the new listing at 606 Truman Avenue, #7, Key West this way:

"Just listed in Windward Park, one block from Duval Street yet secluded in a tropical oasis of 13 private residences. This transient licensed townhouse is offered fully furnished. This home boasts 1260 square feet and has been well maintained. This home overlooks the pool and has a charming front porch and upper balcony. The main level has an open floor plan with full updated bath, spacious bedroom, and access to private rear deck. The upper level has dramatic ceilings, cat walk with access to pool view balcony, and spacious master suite with walk-in closet. This property makes an ideal vacation home or investment opportunity. The Windward Park association has immaculate grounds, secured entrance, and pool. One off street parking space conveys. Pets allowed with restrictions."

 Windward Park almost looks like a private resort. Each of the town homes look out to the shared community pool that is bathed in the Key West sun most of the day throughout the year. Unlike some larger associations that have dozens and dozens of units, this association has only 13 units which means the pool won't be crowded and filled to the gills with lots of tourists. Each unit has an assigned off street parking spot as well. Entry to the property is controlled via electronic gated access.

 

Unit No. 7 is located at the south end of the pool and has full-on views of the pool from the first and second floor front porches. When you enter the home you may be initially awed by the two story open living area. But the space quickly becomes normal. There is a good sized first floor bedroom at the rear. French doors open out to the private deck which is a nice sunny place for a bar-b-que or private outdoor lounging.

The second floor bedroom is quite large. It has a large walk-in closet with lots of storage plus an equally large en-suite bath. The second floor front porch provides a nice covered space to watch  whatever is going on in the pool below.  The thing that makes this unit so appealing in my opinion is the size of the bedrooms and the privacy between them. Whether this place is owner occupied or rented, it is nice to have separation between family members or couples traveling together so that private moments are just that - private. I can't imagine having to listen to someone snoring in the next room or doing whatever.
