key west house: Like a Virgin -- 522 Grinnell St. Key West
- 11/05/08 12:44 AM
I love old houses. I've spent years watching This Old House as the hosts and professionals restored neglected homes from another era. The end product was almost always very appealing and seemed to fit nicely into today's lifestyle. One of the first houses I "almost" bought was the Croke Patterson Mansion at 428 East 11th Avenue in Denver. Like a lot of large older properties it was converted into apartments and deteriorated somewhat. Click HERE and HERE to see what I almost bought for $90,000 in 1974 or 1975. I was a young lawyer at the time and needed to borrow … (0 comments)

key west house: Key West Old Town Sales Report - October 2008
- 10/31/08 09:00 PM
Last month a reader suggested that I report on the sales of just the Old Town area as opposed to all of Key West. I thought his request had real merit since that is the area that is most popular with out of town buyers looking to purchase a property here. So here is my spin on current Key West real estate sales. I gathered the sales info for the years 2004 through 2008. Pretty simple stuff. And the results are not surprising. The fall months historically are slow months. It usually takes a good 30 to 60 days for a … (0 comments)

key west house: 716 Olivia Street - Key West - Short Sale
- 10/27/08 07:29 AM
The Arts & Crafts house at 716 Olivia Street is sitting vacant and looks a little forlorn. The county records say it was built in 1938 but those records have been known to be wrong because the Great Key West Fire destroyed the county records. So many buildings were given approximate dates of construction. Be that is it may, this house has been basically rebuilt with all of the features we require in the first decade of the 21st Century. The renovation to this 2352 sq. ft house of 4 bedroom and 3 bath house is nearly complete. Interior finishes include … (4 comments)

key west house: 915 Washington - Casa Marina Area - Key West - Short Sale
- 10/24/08 02:58 AM
I have lived in the Casa Marina Area of Key West since 1995. I have watched the fall and rise of many structures over those years. I have seen the explosive growth of the early 2000s and the decline over the last three years. Ever since I moved to the area I could be assured to hear some contractor's electric power tools buzzing from 8:00 AM until around 5:00 PM. There was always somebody doing something to their house. Until this year. The number of projects has dwindled to a trickle as the market in Key West turns on its head. … (0 comments)

key west house: 608 William - Old Town - Key West

Just Listed ( but not by me) 608 William Street, Old Town, Key West. I wrote about this house earlier this year when it was priced the same as it is in today's new listing. But there has been a big change. The owner has done some spiffy updating as well to tide the property over until a new owner decides possibly to renovate the property. This is how the listing broker describes 608 William: "The sweetest cottage in the very best Old Town location has just had a fabulous face lift! This circa 1887 conch classic has a wonderful outdoor … (0 comments)

It seems like it was only last week that I created a list of current bank owned properties in the Key West area. Well, it actually was last week.

Some of the houses in the above list have pools or are located on canals. A couple of the houses are really very nice and are priced aggressively to sell. A couple of the houses owned by local banks in Key West may even qualify … (1 comments)

key west house: The Calvin Klein House - 712 Eaton Street -- One of Key West's Premier Signature Homes
- 10/14/08 03:29 AM
Before it became known as the Calvin Klein House, it was the home of Angelo Donghia. Donghia was an internationally famous designer in the 1970s and 1980's whose clients included Ivana and Donald Trump, Barbara Walters, Diana Ross, Mary Tyler Moore, Halston, Ralph Lauren and Neil Simon. Donghia preserved the eccentric—and now famous—octagon house which he purchased for $45,000 in 1976 and decorated it in simply with rattan furniture and white canvas coverings. He sold it in on January 1, 1981 for $975,000 to Calvin Klein. Klein sold it on September 1, 1986 for $400,000. (Source: Monroe County Clerk Public Records.) … (0 comments)

key west house: Key Haven -- "Safe" Haven?
- 10/13/08 01:57 AM
With all of the doom and gloom being uttered on TV and in print this past week about the collapse of the stock market, one phrase kept cropping up: "safe haven". Commentators were being asked to tell the public "safe" places to park their money in these trying times. There are two ways to look at having cash these days. One, if you have a lot of cash you are very fortunate. Two, if you have a lot of cash you probably won't get a very good return if you park it in a bank or a CD. Interest rates are … (0 comments)

key west house: More Bank Owned Key West Properties
- 10/10/08 06:55 AM
A few weeks back I wrote about the new listing at 1119 Von Phister a bank owned property that happens to be right next door to where I live. I totally forgot until yesterday that I almost bought that house in 2004. I had plans to renovate it and sell it for a bunch of money. The house sold quickly after it was listed so I thankfully never got the chance to buy the beast. (I'm not putting that property down. Any renovation becomes a beast in my opinion.) Today stock markets all over the world have moved steeply downward. The … (0 comments)

key west house: The Flim-Flam Short Sale
- 10/09/08 05:35 AM
One of the better morality movies from the 1960's was George C. Scott's The Flim-Flam Man. He played Mordecai Jones - a penny-ante con man that rode the rails and took the money of Southerners. "You can’t cheat an honest man" was his motto. But he had no trouble cheating would-be cheaters. I have seen several properties that have been offered as "Short Sales" in the Key West Association of Realtors MLS that are Flim-Flam. Flim-Flam can be defined as "a trick or deception, especially a swindle or confidence game involving skillful persuasion or clever manipulation of the victim". The concept … (0 comments)
