bargain: 1117 Grinnell Street #2, Key West - 12/28/15 12:30 AM

Bargain shoppers should consider this really Cute Conch Cottage located at 1117 Grinnell Street in Key West. The listing Realtor, not me, describes the property this way:
"Charming Conch Cottage! Extremely well done two bedroom and one bath Grinnell Square condo. Featuring beautiful wood floors and walls, granite countertops, mosaic tile bath, French doors and plenty of character. Classic front porch and a covered back porch overlooking the community pool. Walk or bike to all Key West has to offer."

bargain: 1013 Packer Street, Key West - Old Town at a Bargain Price - 05/11/15 05:32 AM

 Just Listed by Preferred Properties, that's where I work but this is not my listing, 1013 Packer Street in Old Town. This little house is offered at just $399,000 which is pretty inexpensive for Key West.
I looked in my old shoe box and found a couple of photos which show the house as it appeared in 1965 and an even older photo that shows Mr. Edward Heil who lived here back around the turn of the twentieth century when locals needed identification cards to show who they were and where they worked. These cards were necessary to protect the Key West … (0 comments)

bargain: 10 Spoonbill Way, Key West - It's a Wonderful Life - 04/12/15 11:04 PM

Just Listed, but not by me, 10 Spoonbill Way, Key West, Florida. This 1624 sq ft home that is located in the Key West Golf Club Community is probably the best priced home in all of Key West as I write this blog.  Read on, Dear Reader, and I'll tell you how I arrived at that conclusion.
Every time I enter the golf club and start to drive down Golf Club Drive I just start to relax and enjoy the atmosphere. There is not one straight street in the place. Each of the roads winds around a bit. Each of the houses … (1 comments)

bargain: 201 Golf Club Drive, Key West Golf Club Community - 07/25/14 12:07 AM

 

Just about every time I write about homes located in The Sanctuary at the Key West Golf Club I usually include the words "value" or "bargain".  And so it is this time as I write about 201 Golf Club Drive. This 1600 sq ft three bedroom, two and one-half bath home is in tip-top condition.  There is a covered off street parking spot plus space for a second vehicle. A white picket fence and trellis provide just enough privacy from the street which loops around this area.

This home has first and second floor porches at both … (0 comments)

bargain: 2 Fletchers Lane Key West - 04/27/14 11:41 PM

You won't likely find a slower lane in Old Town Key West than Fletchers Lane. The lane is only one block long and dead ends to one of three houses at the end. Fletchers Lane is sandwiched  between Grinnell Street to the east and Margaret Street to the west. The entrance is just off Eaton Street. The lane is populated by only a few houses. Most people have never heard of it because few houses located there ever get offered for sale. 2 Fletchers Lane (not my listing) is your opportunity to purchase a really special property that I consider … (1 comments)

If you have been looking for a Bank Owned property in Key West with lots of upside potential, the just reduced asking price on 1309 Villa Mill Alley is something to cheer about.  I can't say enough good things about this property. The listing Realtor does a good job, however, by stating:
 
"Gated entry to this large 3529 sq ft home located in famous Old Town Key West on an alley only 2 blocks from the beach and Duval street. 5BR/4BTh. Master suite down with marble bath. Large spacious kitchen, a real dining room, office/craft room, … (3 comments)

bargain: Lowest Priced House in Old Town - 1209 Margaret Street - Key West - 04/23/13 12:27 AM

If the title of today's blog doesn't get your attention, maybe the asking price will: $249,000. CLICK HERE to view the Key West mls datasheet and to view listing photos on 1209 Margaret Street located in Old Town Key West. I have written before about this property and I have shown it. I wrote about the beautiful house next door which went under contract within the past week. I suspect potential buyers for that property were bothered by the prospect of having an ugly duckling of sort house located next door. I told my prospects that someone would buy the … (1 comments)

Just listed, but not by me, 916 Fleming Street in Key West.This home is located on millionaires row where you will find some of the finest homes in Old Town. This stately home has been dramatically renovated and has all of the amenities a discerning home buyer could ask for.

The Monroe County property records show the house was built in the 1930s but we all know the old court house burned down and the property records were destroyed. I found an old photo that says the house was built in the 1920s.  Like many of the older homes, … (1 comments)

bargain: 2434 Linda Avenue - Bank Owned - Key West - 09/09/12 09:35 PM


 
The recently listed Bank Owned house at 2434 Linda Avenue in the Mid Town area of Key West ought to appeal to Key Westers looking for a large family home in a nice neighborhood.  The Monroe County Property Appraiser shows this home has 1476 sq ft of living space. It looks as though a garage was enclosed to create living space for a mother-in-law or an out of work uncle.
 
The listing Realtors describes the property:
"Nice family home conveniently located close to everything. This property consists of 3 bedrooms and 2 baths and sits on a … (1 comments)

bargain: 3343 Flagler Avenue - Bank Owned - Key West - 05/17/12 11:56 PM

First Off: That is not my pic above. I recently had a buyer in town who thought the black and white photo above was of me when I was in high school.  I know I'm getting old, but that guy might be "in the home" by now...

Second, there is a reason for local home buyers to cheer about this new Bank Owned home at 3343 Flagler Avenue that was just listed by my friend Scott Forman.  Scott describes the property this way:

 The Pool at 524 Margaret Street - Key West
 
Just listed, but not by me, 524 Margaret Street #3 in Old Town Key West.
 
I dug into the old shoe box and found a black and white photo (below) that was taken back in 1965.  Compare the old pic with the color photo just below it. You will notice the windows are different, shutters have been added, the chain link fence has been replaced by a white picket fence, and an exterior stairway added to the left side.  These readily observable changes don't tell the whole story, however. … (1 comments)

bargain: Key West Recent Sales Update - 03/12/12 12:55 AM
 
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)

bargain: Home Buy Christmas #6 - Old Town - Key West - 12/14/11 01:09 AM
 
616 Caroline Street - December 2011 Your family and friends will be envious of you if you buy one of the four newly listed condos at 616 Caroline Street. The large old house was built in 1906 just a couple of blocks from the busy Key West seaport.
616 Caroline Street as it appeared in 2005 I found a photo (above) of the property as it appeared in 2005 when the property was offered for sale as a "fixer". The property was purchased and renovated into six condominiums. Today, four of the six units are available for purchase at discounted … (1 comments)

bargain: Key West Waterfront Townhome - Bank Approved Short Sale - Record Breaker - 11/26/11 01:10 AM

3029 North Roosevelt Blvd. Unit No. 25 - Key West There aren't that many homes, condos, or townhomes that are actually located at waters edge in Key West. And as a rule properties that are located on the water are pretty darned expensive. Rules are made to be broken. The listing agent for Key Cove Townhome Unit No. 25 sums up this bargain this way:
"Empty, Easy to show, Bank Approved Price, Quick Close! Highest class units built at Key Cove. Located at the rear of the property on the water (launch your kayak!) with Sunset and Gulf Vista. Spa … (1 comments)
