income property: 1109 Petronia Street, Key West - Just Listed - Legal Duplex - 12/08/17 05:25 AM

Just Listed - 1109 Petronia Street, Key West, Florida. This is a sweet legal duplex located on a quiet little block just east of the Key West cemetery. Petronia Street at this location runs only two blocks from White Street to Frances Street where it appropriately dead-ends at the cemetery.  A full time owner and/or tenants will love the location because it is near all the attractions around Duval Street and the historic seaport (it's within easy walking or biking distance to both), but it is far enough away not be a part of the hub-bub. I looked in my old … (3 comments)

income property: 403 - 405 Caroline Street, Key West - 06/26/17 08:29 AM

Yesterday, instead of hosting an open house to showcase one of my listings, I decided to go to see other open houses.  I want to share with you the incredible property located at 403 - 405 Caroline Street in Key West.

I saw it then but had no present recollection of what it used to look like.  As soon as I entered the owner's unit I knew i had to share this place with my loyal readers. The current owners … (0 comments)

income property: 415 Amelia Street, Key West - Potential Vacation Rental - 03/03/16 10:08 PM

New to the market is 415 Amelia Street, Key West, Florida.

I recently took a photo from the same location.  If you look closely you will notice many similarities but some marked differences as well.  Three boys shown in the photo standing in the driveway in the old photo.

The legal duplex located at 721 Georgia Street in the Meadows Area of Key West is an unassuming two story abode waiting for a new owner.

I took a picture from a similar location so that readers could see how little this home has changed in fifty years. The fence is taller and more private, the  original Bahama shutters are gone.

Just listed by Preferred Properties (that is where I work but this is not my listing), 909 Pohalski Lane in the Old Town area of Key West.

You see Pohalski Lane is just one block long and is … (0 comments)
