Just listed by Preferred Properties (that's where I work but this is not my listing), 1501 White Street in the Casa Marina Area of Key West. 1501 White Street is located two blocks north of Higg's Beach and the great Atlantic Ocean.
The listing broker describes this property like this:
"This charming 2/2 home is completely walled and gated for privacy. Features include a formal living room w/vaulted ceiling, new kitchen w/granite countertops & new appliances, dining room w/French doors to the beautiful private pool and patio. Off street parking also."
The house is located at the corner of White Street and Flagler Avenue. This location will turn off some potential buyers just because of the location. So be it. There are two houses located at the same corner that recently sold over $2,000,000 each. Don't let the location dissuade you from looking. You might just fall in love with this private abode that is hidden behind the privacy wall and towering palms.

The updated main house with its lush garden and sunny pool sit behind a tall privacy wall surrounded by large palms and specimen trees. An electric gate opens to covered off street parking. A caretaker's cottage sits at the back of the property. The lot is quite large (60' x 120' or 7,369 sq ft).
The main house was built in 1958 and was updated around 1995 with additional improvements after that. The house has 1380 sq ft of living space consisting of the living room, kitchen, master bedroom and bath plus a second bedroom and bath. The living room is extra large in size and volume. The north wall has built-in cabinetry. Cuban tiles give this space (and the bedroom areas) a rich and sophisticated feel. (The caretaker's cottage is a separate building with 283 sq ft of living space. This space could make a great guest suite.)

The master bedroom and bath are configured for adult living. The bedroom has French doors that open out to the large private garden terrace that includes an outdoor shower for two. Another door leads from the bedroom out to the canvas covered outdoor bathroom with a spa bathtub. The space is first class in all respects. The asking price is just $789,000.

The kitchen has a bank of French doors that open out to the pool on one side and an adjacent wall of windows that allow filtered sun light in from the south. The kitchen has been updated with new cabinets, appliances, and light fixtures. When I looked at the space I thought to myself this home is really cool. What a great place for a party. The living room kitchen and dining area are large spaces with subtle architectural embellishments. The bedrooms are cozy and comfortable.CLICK HERE to view a slide show of photos of this property.
Parking and the caretaker's cottage are located beyond the fence to right
The pool area gets sunshine most of the day so you and your guests won't have to go to the beach for a tan. But the beach is only a short two block walk in case you feel the need to get sand in your toes. Locals meet up there every morning while walking their dogs.
White Street Pier is just two blocks south
So is the beach!
