Four Ocean Front Condos For Sale at Key West By the Sea

There are now four ocean front condominiums available for purchase at Key West by the Sea. That;s a first in my recollection. There are usually a few units available in this three unit that includes two pools, tennis courts, tropical and orchid gardens. This is an opportunity for buyers to compare four units by size, condition, height, and price in real time so that they can make the best choice. I am going to list each unit by address number which you may click to read the MLS description and view MLS listing photos.

The Key West by the Seas condos are separated from the Atlantic Ocean by guest parking area, South Roosevelt Boulevard, the dunes of Smathers Beach and then the beach itself. The Island of Key West is itself protected from the tides by the coral reef which extends for miles into the ocean. The reef helps control waters so that we do not get hit by massive tidal waves seen elsewhere. The ocean here has a green tint that changes by hour as do the clouds. Van Gogh could have made Key West famous for its starry nights, sunny days with pillowy clouds, and stranger days with brooding skies.

2601 S Roosevelt Blvd 604A Key West is a 704 sq ft one bedroom one bath top floor condominium offered at $575,000 or $876 per sq ft. It is being sold furnished and "turn key". The unit has been renovated and has new kitchen, bath, tile floors, and mini-split air conditioning. Unit includes adjacent storage room included in purchase price. The HOA fees vary depending on unit. The HOA fees on this unit are $519.57 per month and include all building insurances, common area maintenance, basic cable tv. security, and professional management. 

2601 S Roosevelt Blvd 501A Key West is a 980 sq ft two bedroom one bath fifth floor unit on the west end of the A building. It has direct ocean views from the master bedroom, living room balcony plus window views looking west from the living room and kitchen. When I showed this unit I compared it in size to a two story town home at President's Walk in the Truman Annex. The difference is all of the living space is on one level so there is more actual living space here than there. And the price of this condo is much less. This unit is offered at $590,000 or $602 per sq ft.  The HOA fees are $612.56 This unit is subject to a lease that expires June1, 2020  The lease cannot be cancelled. The seller will assign the lease to the purchaser. New owners may not lease their units for at least one year after purchase. This in place lease would be excluded from that rule. All rentals must be at least 60 days or longer. This policy insulated KWBS from the wave of investor foreclosures that affected many places in Key West several years ago. 

2601 S Roosevelt Blvd 504A Key West is a 754 sq ft one bedroom one bath fifth floor ocean front condo offered at $480,000 or $636 per sq ft. The HOA fees on this unit are $499.92. This unit is also subject to an existing lease that expires in June. All of the units in Building A are going to get new wind impact windows and doors plus new ductless air conditioning installed at no cost to the owner of the condominium association. The replacement is part of the Federal Aviation Administration program to mitigate impact from the Key West airport. 

2601 S Roosevelt Blvd 202A Key West is a 980 sq ft two bedroom one bath second floor ocean front condo offered at $575,000 or $586 per sq ft.  The HOA fees on this unit are $546.52. This unit has an updated kitchen, new bath, and new floors. 

Please all me, Gary Thomas, 305-766-2642, to schedule a private showing for any or all of these Key West By the Sea ocean front condos. I am a buyers agent and a full time Realtor at Preferred Properties Key West. All units are relatively easy to show at the current time.
