1517 Washington Street - June 2011  
1517 Washington Street - June 2011  
February 2012 the look is just a bit different Some Readers may remember when I wrote about 1517 Washington Street in May 2011 when Preferred Properties listed it for sale at the asking price of $425.000. I wrote:
"The house was built in 1963 so it has the architecture of that era. The slanted roof and jalousie windows give this house a distinguished look. Some may not like it, but others will embrace it. Much of the architecture in the Mid Town and New Town areas of … (0 comments)

More Projects of Key West - 02/25/12 11:13 AM
618 Grinnell Street - one of the new projects of Key West Last July I wrote about some of the current remodeling projects that were under construction in Key West. Seven months later those same projects are still being worked on. And there are new homes being constructed as well. I don't know why it takes so long to cut and nail some boards together down here. Whatever the reason, I thought you might like to see some photos of the progress (or slowness) of the Projects of Key West.730 Southard Street is probably the most prominent project because of its … (2 comments)

4 Pinder Lane - Key West - A Singular Sensation - 02/22/12 05:43 AM

4 Pinder Lane built in 1859 This Key West property is a singular sensation because of its unique history, architecture, location, and usage. The original home was built in 1859 . It was updated and expanded with contemporary additions in the 1970s.
Sophisticated and understated contemporary addition to 4 Pinder Lane I first saw this property about four years ago when it was listed (with an adjacent cottage that has since been sold) at the then asking price of $4.5 million. My buyers were so taken by this property that we required a second visit that night to see how … (4 comments)
