721 Georgia St., Key West - Legal Duplex

The legal duplex located at 721 Georgia Street in the Meadows Area of Key West is an unassuming two story abode waiting for a new owner. I dug down into my old shoe box and found a photo of the house taken back in 1965. There was a note on the back which states the house used be known as 1301 Petronia Street rear. I took a picture from a similar location so that readers could see how little this home has changed in fifty years. The fence is taller and more private, the  original Bahama shutters are gone. So too are the wood windows that were  replaced with impact glass. The house is still located in a very quiet location near Old Town yet not near all that noise and commotion.

The listing Realtor, not me, describes the property this way:

"Wonderful compact duplex in the Meadows. Each unit is in good condition and immediately rentable. The first floor 1 BD unit has wood floors, newly painted interior, washer and dryer, and a large wooden deck at the rear of the house. The 2nd floor 1 BD unit was owner occupied for many years and has numerous upgrades. There are tile floors, corian counter tops, dishwasher, washer and dryer, and a balcony off the rear of the unit. This home would make a great pied a terre plus income. There are impact rated windows (2010) on both units and 8' elevation."

 It looks like the duplex was renovated about twenty-five years ago. The place has been very well maintained since then. The kitchens, baths, and some of the appliances look their age. Others were replaced. The wall mounted air conditioners are much newer.  The rear decks probably need replaced and the building deserves a new paint job.

I borrowed the interior photos from the listing Realtor with her permission. I didn't take photos when I showed the property as I did not want to interfere with the showing. I was really "taken" by the second floor unit where the owner had lived. The furniture comes with this place if the new buyer wants it. There's a very nice almost "built-in" sectional in the living room. That space is located up front just off the second floor entry area. The dining area is to the left. The bedroom is up front on the south side. The very nice bathroom is located in the middle and the kitchen is at the rear. We all had a giggle at 1980s era range.

I agree with the listing agent's suggestion that this property would make a great pied a terre. So many buyers are looking for a place they can use and also rent out for income. This is that place, only here you get annual income without interruption and if you rent it yourself and don't rely on a property manager, you won't have to share part of your annual income with a property management company.

All of the windows and glass doors are impact glass. That means your windstorm insurance will be very low. The house is located in the 8' flood elevation so flood insurance will be low. The house has been well maintained. Fire and liability insurance should also be low.

This home first and foremost is all about living a comfortable life and doing those things that amuse the owner. Each of the public living areas have water views and access to the covered rear balcony.

Just to the left of the living area you will see the breakfast bar which creates a neat transition from the kitchen to the dining area. The kitchen is quite large and has Stainless Steel Appliances including the gas range. The laundry room is located behind the door next to the wall mounted microwave oven.

The master bedroom with en-suite bath also opens out to the rear balcony. The balcony expands the bedroom space but not out of necessity for the space is already quite large. The bedroom includes ample closets and a vanity. The bathroom with separate shower and tub is located behind a closed door.

There are two generous sized guest bedrooms The south bedroom has a private en-suite bath. The north bedroom has a direct entry to its bath. A door off the hallway allows guests to use this bath as well.

As soon as I walked inside the ground level of this home I immediately thought of Tim the Toolman Taylor, the fictional character played by Tim Allen in his 1990s comedy hit "Home Improvement". There are two, not one, extra large under-building garages plus additional storage space. This is a man's playground if there ever was one! Let the following photos pique your interest.

The boys toys don't stop inside. There is a huge davit and boat lift aside the water.  The size of the davit is dwarfed by the immensity of the back area. There is a Tiki Hut located just beside the pool at the water's edge. CLICK HERE to view more photos I took of this waterfront home.
