The listing Realtor describes 622 Grinnell Street as "Wonderful, original conch home with three legal units. Great location and superb street presence. Access to the rear cottage is from a lane. Possible conversion back to single family and would be a really spectacular property as such. Opportunity to work with a property that has been maintained while leaving a Key West flavor."
Three words in his description really stand out: wonderful, location, and flavor (of Key West). I know I sometimes get a little gushy about some houses and let the superlatives fly. This property does that to me … (2 comments)

Just listed by Preferred Properties Key West, that is where I work but this is not my listing, 1413 Grinnell Street in the Casa Marina Area of Key West. I live in the Casa Marina Area, in fact I live a little over one block from this property, and I love this part of town. I vaguely remember the house as it looked in the latter part of the 1990s when the house was thoroughly renovated. I remember going inside the house as the general contractor was doing the renovation. He started with a simple box with a shed roof … (1 comments)

- 03/14/14 12:36 AM

gary thomas realtor: 923 Southard Street - Key West Florida
- 03/12/14 12:15 AM
The very cute Conch Cottage located at 923 Southard Street was built circa 1889. I found an old photo that shows how the house looked nearly fifty years ago (see the black and white photo below). If you look carefully you can see traditional clapboard siding at the front but board and batten siding (vertical siding) on the side. You also will see a "sawtooth" addition at the rear. I suspect that was the kitchen at that time. A later owner expanded that space to include a second floor addition. The house today has 1476 sq ft of living space … (0 comments)

- 03/11/14 01:12 AM
When you enter the front doorway of 413 Frances Street your eyes are drawn to the rich Dade County Pine walls that expand from the entry foyer to the living room and dining room on the right and to the main hallway and staircase to the left. This house is the embodiment of what would-be home buyers dream of in a Key West house. The almost rustic appearance is intentional. The previous owner did a meticulous renovation just a couple of years ago. This home has what discerning second home buyers want: lots of charm, off street parking (for two … (0 comments)

- 03/06/14 01:00 AM
718 Eisenhower Drive in Key West was recently brought back on the market at a new and lower price, $2,475,000. Now that might seem like a really expensive property in most places - and it is even expensive by Key West's inflated market value pricing, but it is not really that expensive when you consider how much this grand old dame offers. The listing Realtor describes the property as a
"Fine example of Victorian Queen Anne architecture, built in the late 1800's, restored in 1993. Wide expansive porches wrap around the mansion overlooking a beautiful pool and tropical gardens. … (1 comments)

gary thomas realtor: 415 Margaret Street - Key West, Florida
- 02/27/14 08:31 PM
Wikipedia defines the grammatical term 'present perfect' as a combination of the present tense and the perfect aspect used to express a past event with present consequences. The Old Island Restoration Foundation awarded a Ceramic Star for the renovation and preservation of 415 Margaret Street in Old Town Key West. This is an excellent example of present perfect in my opinion.
Roger Emmons at Truman and Company, the listing Realtor, describes his present perfect listing at 415 Margaret Street:
"This is one of those very special homes where all of the elements come together to create an incredible setting … (1 comments)

gary thomas realtor: 810 Elizabeth Street Key West - Old Town Renovation Project
- 02/26/14 07:01 PM
I first wrote about 810 Elizabeth Street, Key West nearly two months ago when it was first listed for sale. This property is currently configured as two legal units but could become a single family home. The listing Realtor, not me, has a letter from the Key West City Planner stating such. The property is in good condition as is, but it could be renovated into something much greater. The listing Realtor describes the property as:
"Perched near the crest of Solaris Hill, this 1,541 sq' legal duplex on a 3,192 sq' lot features a 3 bedroom 2 bath down … (1 comments)

Just listed by Preferred Properties, that's where I work but this is not my listing, 903 Washington Street. This Casa Marina Area listing has two houses for the price of one. I dug down into my old shoebox and found photos taken in 1965 of the two original homes that sat on this large and wide lot (40' X 112') that is located just five blocks from Higgs Beach and the great Atlantic Ocean. The old homes were demolished in 1996, and the rebuilding began. I remember riding my bike past this property for a couple of years as I … (0 comments)
