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. I think the two above photos eloquently demonstrate that term.

Sitting Pretty at 1223 Margaret Street in Key West The charming Conch style home at 1223 Margaret Street is now availble at the asking price of $895,000. This three story home was built new (not remodeled) in 1999 by Lauramar Development. That developer built several "in-fill" properties in various Old Town neighborhoods around that same time period.

A Key West Dream House We just passed the half-way point of the Key West seasonal real estate sales. At least that's the way I view it. Most real estate sales occur during the time period between Christmas and Easter because that is when there are more potential buyers in town looking to purchase property. When the weather up north turns nice the snowbirds go back home and spend their summers at their main homes or perhaps a summer place. For that reason most serious sellers try to list and get their Key West real estate sold when the largest … (1 comments)

Four years ago I wrote about a new structure that was being built at Gato Village Pocket Park, a small park on Louisa Street just east of First Sate Bank. The park was created to commemorate by design and structure the historic cigar maker cottages that were the predominant type of housing in that section of old Key West. The old Gato Cigar Factory at the corner of Simonton Street at Virginia Street is now a Monroe County office building.
