510 Frances Street Key West as it appeared in 1965  
510 Frances Street Key West as it appears in 2010 I was born and raised in one of the western suburbs of Denver. Everybody I knew lived in new homes (then, now they are called "mid-century modern).

604 Elizabeth Street sits atop Solares Hill in Old Town Key West  
The Perfect Perch to People Watch I guess I have written too often about the importance of location because so many potential buyers snub perfectly nice homes because sometimes they are located in sometimes challenging locations.

The house is located two blocks from Duval Street and just steps from Southard Street. So it's a quick walk to the shopping, restaurants, and … (2 comments)
