guest house: 724 Eaton Street, Key West - Historic Home Available for the First Time
- 06/04/18 03:49 AM
In his book, The Houses of Key West, author Alex Caemmerer tells us the Freeman-Curry House located as it is now known was built in 1865 and remained in the same family until the 1920s when it was purchased by T. Jenkins Curry. The Curry's completely remodeled the house located at 724 Eaton Street and moved it back from the street forty feet where it still sits today. He tells us the outdoor kitchen and outhouse were replaced with modern additions to the building available to the rich in the 1920s.

guest house: The Key West House I Did Not Sell
- 03/19/18 09:31 AM
I made my first trip to Key West as a visitor thirty-four years ago this month. I have written in my blog about that life changing trip several times over the years and won't bore readers to tell that tale again. I fell deeply in love with Key West and decided to make this my hope. It took a few years, but I made it happen. During the time of the first trip and my move to Key West, I stayed at several different guest houses. Those experiences taught me how difficult it must be for a home owner to lived … (7 comments)

guest house: 913 White Street, Key West
- 10/23/15 10:05 PM
Just Listed, but not by me, 913 White Street in Key West, Florida. This vernacular style home sits back from White Street behind a solid fence and gardens. The gated front drive provides off street parking for several cars, a rarity in this Old Town location. The wrap around front porch hearkens back to another century where this might have been grandma's house. Would it were true. What a place this must have been back in the day.
The above photo was taken at the 1928 May Day Parade in Key West. I added a graphic to show where 913 White Street … (2 comments)

guest house: 812 Windsor Lane - Sitting Pretty in Old Town Key West
- 04/22/15 11:40 PM
The simple home at 812 Windsor Lane in Key West did not always look so neat and proper. I remember driving past that house several years ago on repeated occasions when someone would ask "How much is that house"? I would always respond "It's not for sale" to which they would reply something like "We'll I want to buy it when it is for sale." The house looked pretty rundown back then. The front yard was over-grown. The place looked like it had been abandoned. But then in 2008 the family who had owned this house since it was first built … (1 comments)

- 04/17/12 01:38 AM
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. Each of the projects quickly sold out because the houses had the desirable architectural look of "look" of historic Key West homes. The houses, however, were built to rigid new building codes and used modern building materials. The resultant homes are easier to … (1 comments)

- 04/26/11 07:55 AM
525 Simonton Street - Old Town - Key West I know the property at 525 Simonton Street pretty well. That is where I first worked when I got my real estate license in 1997. The real estate offices were on the main floor. The rest of the main building and the detached cottage were The Watson House Guest House. The prior owners did a very nice job of renovating the buildings. They operated the three unit guest house to capacity all year long. The current owners converted the previous office space into residential living space and condominiumized the property as … (0 comments)

guest house: Really BIG short Sale - 1307 Truman Avenue - Key West
- 03/04/09 05:11 AM
On January 29th I wrote about The Grand Dame of 1307 Truman Avenue in Key West. I extolled the virtues of this majestic old house. Folks, it just got even more attractive.

There are a lot of short sales in Key West, but kids, none of the houses compare to this one. … (0 comments)

- 05/10/08 02:53 AM
Got a few hundred thousand dollars laying around earning only 2% interest or so? Are you as afraid of the stock market as I am? Does the rotten economy scare the beejeezus out of you? Ever since I made my first trip to Key West many years ago I noticed there were always several guest houses for sale. I started looking at the properties for sale and gathered the financial statements so that I could compare income and expenses to see which of the properties looked the most promising. Of course, I always wanted to buy the prettiest property or the … (1 comments)
