meadows area: 823 White Street, Key West - 11/16/16 07:58 PM

Just Listed by Preferred Properties Key West 823 White Street, Key West.  This house is the oldest house on White Street and likely the oldest house in the Meadows Area as it dates back to circa 1850. It is known as The Cold's Milk Farm.


Paul Cold moved this 1850's farm house to this location just after the civil war.  It is the oldest surviving house on White Street. Originally the Cold family occupied the front of this five bay house. The workers quarters and kitchen were located in a separate detached building to the rear. Both buildings were combined into one … (3 comments)

meadows area: 1301 Newton St. Key West, Florida - 03/28/14 02:35 AM

1301 Newton Street is located at the corner of Newton and Florida Streets in the Meadows Area of Key West or two blocks east of Old Town proper. The Monroe County Property Appraiser identifies this home as having been built in 1943. I know that is not right because we were still involved in World War II at that time and houses in the Old Town environs were not being built then. So I searched the Sanborn Fire Maps for Key West and found what I believe to be 1301 Newton Street on the 1892 Sanborn Fire Map. The city … (0 comments)

meadows area: 1411 Olivia Street - The Meadows Area - Key West - 11/04/13 03:10 AM

Key West is known for its love affair with old houses.  Some places are big; some are small; some are ornate; some are droll; some are expensive; and most others are more expensive! Some homes are full time-residences and others are part-time places where owners hope to retire to in the not so distant future.  Some places are fixer-uppers and others are done to the hilt. Some places historic but a few places are relatively new. It is, however, the older homes that most would-be new buyers seek. The home located at 1411 Olivia Street in Key West is listed … (0 comments)

meadows area: 1307 Petronia Street - The Meadows Area - Key West, Florida - 08/19/13 01:14 AM

1307 Petronia Street is a sophisticated update of a house that was built a century ago. The house was built sometime between the 1899 and 1912 edition of the Sanborn Fire Maps. The Sanborn Maps help us date the construction dates of older Key West homes because county records were destroyed by fire.  (The maps actually served their purpose in this regard.)  I found a black and white photo taken of the house in 1965 (below). I took a similar photo that shows the same house five decades later. This home looks so much nicer today, don't you think?

meadows area: Home Buy Christmas -1411 Olivia Street - Key West - 12/01/12 09:56 PM

Just listed by Preferred Properties, that's where I work but this is not my listing, 1411 Olivia Street which is located in the Meadows Area of Key West.  White Street is the dividing line between Old Town and the Meadows Area. Many of the houses in both areas are the same style and were built around the same time periods.  For the most part the only difference between the two areas is a higher price per square foot if you buy on the Old Town side of White Street.

meadows area: 810 Georgia Street - The Meadows Area - Key West - 08/27/12 09:51 PM

It's a given that most people who think of buying a place in Key West first think of purchasing a home in the Old Town area. That's probably because the Old Town area is the part of town where they have spent the most time and where they fell in love with our fair city. I ought to know, it happened to me. The very first week I was in Key West I would go for my morning walks. I would traipse up and down the tree lined streets admiring the ever so cute old houses with white picket fences, … (1 comments)

meadows area: Key West "Selling Season" - a Perspective - 05/07/12 03:24 AM

 For Sale By Owner in Key West
 
The traditional Key West Selling Season (the time period between Christmas and Easter) just closed. I realize that many contracts that were written before January 2012 actually closed after then and that contracts written in April may not close for another month or longer. This analysis looks at the total closed transactions between January 1, 2012 and May 1, 2012 in the single family and compares the results to the same time period in 2010 and 2011. I used the Key West Association of Realtors mls database which shows only transaction where … (2 comments)

meadows area: The Gardenia House - 906 Georgia Street - The Meadows - Key West - 03/31/11 04:45 AM
Sometimes we overlook the obvious. We forget to notice simple things that make our lives richer and more meaningful. I drive by certain locations on a near daily basis and see other places weekly or monthly. If I see construction I usually take notice of a property, but otherwise I let houses pass through my mind as I maneuver the streets of Key West going from place to place. Yesterday, I had to stop and take notice of a place I passed so often that I failed to see (or smell) the beauty that I shall call The Gardenia House.This property … (0 comments)
