So many people come to Key West and fall in love with this little town. They imagine how simple and wonderful their lives could be if only they could live here - someday.

They go to meetings and drive in traffic for hours on end. But even if they live a simple life, they probably close their eyes and envision owning a little place on … (1 comments)

326 William Street in Key West, Florida is located within a block of the historic Key West Seaport. Most of the houses in this immediate area were built in the last half of the 19th Century. The seaport was the hub of Key West commerce. The 300 block of William Street is noted as having some of the oldest homes on the island.
For some odd reason the 300 block of William Street was omitted from the 1889 edition of the Sanborn Fire Map. But it did appear in the 1892 edition. That map shows numerous small lots … (1 comments)

Some readers may recall that I used to own a guest house in Key West. Once a prospective guest called to ask about room rates, what we served for breakfast, and asked if Key West was surrounded by water. I kid you not. That was more than 20 years ago. The mystique of Key West has spread across the globe. Today when I ask potential buyers what their preferences are in a house, many say they want a house on the water. Although Key West is an island, there are very few homes (or condos) that are on the water … (0 comments)
