2 Bedroom 2 bath waterfront home in Key West less than $160,000

water front real estate Key West FLThis mobile over looks a wide, deep, gorgeous emerald green canal is not my listing, but it is an incredible piece of land that water front buyers will want to know about.  There are 2 beautiful brand new homes next door and across the street.  There are a few homes that could use an update and many brand new homes in the neighborhood.  

This is a project for an experienced home renovator or a buyer with money to rebuild a brand new home.

Although the home is in disrepair it it was clearly loved and cared for at one time.  There are new windows and porches with architectural details near every entrance.  There is also a pretty looking jacuzzi that was once a haven of relaxation for the owner.  And there is a large shed to hold all of your boating toys and yard equipment.

The canal is mesmerizing.  The water is deep and clear.  There is a concrete seawall and davits.  This was once an owners pride and joy.  Some day soon it will be returned to it's former glory or a gorgeous new home will be sitting here.

The friendly, kind and talkative neighbor across the street was open, warm and inviting.  She was happy to take a few minutes to say a hello and share a few stories about her family, the past and about the history of the neighborhood.  I'm hoping that she will share her photos from the 1960s when the neighborhood was first organized.  I left my card and told her to call me when she is in the mood to share more history and her wonderful photos.  I offered to scan all of her old photos for her so that she can share them with her loved ones.  Our historian might also enjoy the photos.

water front real estate Key West FLIn 1960 he picked up her home for $2,500 and quickly put down her $25 and sent in her monthly $25 payment.  She encouraged some of her Key West neighbors to buy on the street.  She has seen the transformation from empty land to a thriving neighborhood.  Now she owns her home free and clear.  She is the American Dream.  I asked her if she wished that she had bought every lot on the block.  She was content to have picked up the couple that her family quickly moved into.  

She gave me a sense on history.  As we chatted about how things have changed, what we miss and what's better.  The neighbor in the gorgeous 2 story brand new home across the street called out a friendly hello to her neighbor as we laughed and talked.  The neighbor in the fancy house wanted my new kind hearted friend to come over later to meet her new puppy.   I had the warm and fuzzy comfortable feeling when we said good bye.  I hope I run into her soon.

The reason that I was on the street was to see the bargain across the street that a buyer I'm working with likes that's in the mls.  The current owners paid $410,000 in 2004.  It's now listed with another agent for $160,000.  What's changed?  A LOT.
