The asking price for the top floor unit at 800 Fleming Street 3-B was just reduced to $875,000. That makes this unit a buying opportunity in my opinion. This is one of the earliest and finest renovated buildings in Key West and it certainly enjoys the prime location of about any single property in Old Town. The historic seaport is located three small blocks to the north and Duval Street is located three blocks west. You can be at any incredible Old Town location in a matter of minutes by foot. And when you return home you will be in the (4 comments)
Just Listed by yours truly, 1233 South Street in Key West, Florida. I have had an interesting association with this property for the past few years. I wrote in my blog about the home that used to occupy the lot for generations. I refer to the former home in the past tense for a reason: the former home no longer exists. All that remains of the old structure is the foundation upon which a totally new house plus new master wing was built.
The new 1750 sq ft three bedroom 3 1/2 bath is sited on a large 6066 sq ft corner (6 comments)

Just listed but not by me, 918 Southard Street #101, Key West, Florida. This is private and spacious first floor unit tucked away from the other units in popular Southard Square Condominiums located in the very heart of Old Town.

The above photos show the vacant lot at 1430 Albury Street in Key West which is offered for sale with all necessary building plans approved by various City of Key West agencies to construct a new home. Now in most parts of America that would not seem like a big deal. But in Key West where there are few building lots and especially lots in such a prized location as this, it is a pretty big deal. That is because the Historic District in Old Town and much of the Meadows Area and the Casa Marina Area fall under the protective (3 comments)

The listing Realtor describes the property this way: "Great little 2/2 Conch cottage with a private pool, comfortable deck area and very lush privacy planting. Nice location for walking to the beach and the White Street restaurants and markets. (1 comments)
The Northeast is getting pummeled with a monster storm as I write today's blog. CNN is reporting a forecast of up to 38 inches of snow in Milford, Connecticut. I have a lot of loyal readers who live in that part of the country. I feel your pain. I remember living through horrible winters in Denver where I spent my entire life until I moved to Key West in 1993. I have never looked back with regret at that move.

florida: Simply Stunning! 730 Southard Street - Key West
- 01/12/13 11:37 PM
Key West got an early Christmas present in 2012: the beautifully restored Albury House located at 730 Southard Street. I can't say enough nice things about this home other than it is simply stunning. It is more beautiful than I imagined it would be. If you follow my blog you will note that I wrote about this house several times when it was listed for sale. Many potential buyers looked at the place. A few even made offers to purchase it. One lucky couple ended up buying the home and then started the process to find an architect and builder.
