Key West and Lower Florida Keys Real Estate Market Activity, 09/20/2024

It's Friday in the Florida Keys. Weekends were made for buying and selling Florida Keys Real Estate, not Michelob. Only those of us over 50 will get the Michelob reference. Either way, let's look at Key West homes for sale or Lower Keys homes for sale and you can worry about Michelob later. You too can live in the Florida Keys and I can help you make that dream come true. Let's go House Hunting.

Some new inventory has been added to the MLS. We had 4 great listings come on the market in Key West and the Lower Florida Keys today. Looking for your dream home? Keep reading, it might be listed below. If you don't see something you like here, that's OK, I'm sure I can find your ideal home for you. There are hundreds more to choose from. Call me at 305-731-0501 or email me at garymcadams@realtorgary.com and let me know what your "Perfect House" would be. More than likely I will locate it.

Remarks - Consumer: Triplex investment property! Prime location only 1 block from the historic Key West seaport and 2 blocks from Duval St. The downstairs offers 2 units which include a 1/1 with kitchenette and a 1/1 with full kitchen. Enjoy the front porch facing Caroline St. or spend a lazy afternoon lounging by the dip pool in the backyard. Ascend the gorgeous wooden staircase to the upstairs unit which includes the 2nd and 3rd floors and has many features reminiscent of an old ship accented by beautifully detailed wood trim. This 2/3 unit includes hardwood floors, stained glass details, a loft/office, a front porch for relaxing, a small back porch overlooking the pool, and a unique widow's walk where you can enjoy a bit of privacy in the treetops. The kitchen includes a built-in water filtration system, the master bedroom is a generous size, and you'll find storage galore throughout the home with built-ins, nooks, and crannies. This historic home has high ceilings throughout, and the windows (except skylights) are hurricane rated. The owners currently live in the upstairs unit and use the first-floor units as monthly vacation rentals. Any of the units could be used as long-term rentals, or the property could potentially be converted into an up/down duplex or returned to its original configuration as a single-family home. Enjoy the close proximity to all the amenities this great location offers in Old Town. This historic gem is awaiting your vision.

Relax on the designer furniture while enjoying the full collection of Hemingway's books or lose yourself in The Master Bedroom retreat which has been luxuriously decorated with 1000 thread count bedding on the Romantic Canopy Bed with French doors leading out to a spacious rear patio overlooking the pool. The guest bedroom has two twin upgraded pillow top beds that can be converted to a King bed to accommodate a family or two couples. The King is stocked with a very thick down padding and luscious linens for maximum comfort. Enjoy the sounds of the keys or music of Buffet as the guest bedroom is decorated in tribute to the crooner and the island lifestyle detailed in framed sheet music. If staying in for the evening or fixing breakfast or lunch have fun in the 1950's themed state of the art kitchen equipped with an imported European SMEG Fridge and Stainless Appliances. Likewise, the bathroom has been decorated in an art deco style typical of an earlier time in the Keys. The front Family room area features a queen sleeper sofa bed with a down pad and bedding for extra sleeping space. All pillows and bedding are down and of high quality in order to provide maximum comfort on your stay. Quite simply, we designed this home to fit in with the Keys lifestyle. It is bright, open and lends itself to a vibe which we hope catapults you to a great stay in our beloved Keys.
