About Key West's The Meadows

817 Pearl Street - The Meadows Area of Old Town - Key West

Key West is filling with people who return every year during Valentine's weekend. It's appropriate that this little love shack just got listed, but not by me. It is a really cute and very tiny little love shack (okay, it's really a Key West Cottage) at 817 Pearl Street in the Meadows Area of Old Town Key West. CLICK HERE for a GOOGLE MAP view of the location and street view of the immediate area. See the photos below that I took of the cute houses across the street. Let me tell you this is one cute block. Nothing commercial in this area. Bayview Park is just a couple of blocks to the south. Duval Street is a 10-15 minute walk to the west.

Now for full disclosure, I have not been inside yet but I did speak with the current vacation tenant who came outside to ask why I was taking photos of the house. He said he loved the place and the location. There, you have it. End of discussion.

This 400 sq ft cottage is just one bedroom. It is so small that you actually enter the cottage through the bedroom which is located in front. The living room, kitchen and bath follow at the rear. There is a small deck area at the rear. The lot itself is 23' wide by 50' deep. CLICK HERE to view the Key West mls listing data and listing photo on this property.

By the way, the same owner is offering the adjacent larger corner lot home at 1501 Olivia Street at just $700,000. The two properties would make a great compound for someone seeking a bigger old home with a large lot, a pool, off street parking plus a guest cottage. Each property can be purchased separately. CLICK HERE to see the Olivia Street property.

817 Pearl Street would be perfect for the couple that wants a tiny getaway place far from the madness of Duval but still located within walking or biking distance of all the great things we expect in Key West. And here's the best part, this place is offered at just $250,000. This is not a short sale. This property will probably be under contract within a matter of days, if not hours. It won't appeal to most, but to the few who want something small and romantic, this may be your new love shack in Key West.

I'm serious about this Dear Readers, don't wait. Please call me, Gary Thomas, 305.766.2642 if you are interested in seeing this property or making an offer. I am a full time Realtor at Preferred Properties Coastal Realty, Inc. in Key West, Florida.

1502 Petronia Street - The Meadows - Key West
Open Sunday 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm

Originally Priced $1,795,000 Now $975,000

1502 Petronia Street is priced at $975,000 or $568 per sq ft for this 1717 sq ft home. It is owned by a local bank in Key West. Come by and compare what you can get for your money. This property is one of eight completed in 2007. Four units are currently available. This unit is the only two bedroom unit available, and it is a doozy! This home is located on the corner and it has a lot of privacy and great view from the second floor front porch where you can sit and watch the incredible Key West sunsets every night. Only One house sits across the street. That house takes up the entire block. It is priced at $4,795,000. Nice neighborhood! (You will not need to worry about declining property values!)

The home at 1502 Petronia Street is part of The Meadows condo association which is comprised of eight homes. Each home is owned in fee simple and sits on an individually owned lot. The association exists to provide access to rear parking via gated driveway and storm water runoff.

The homes were newly built in 2007 with top of the line materials and craftsmanship. This home features soaring 11' ceilings in the living area and kitchen. The kitchen has top of the line stainless steel appliances, beautiful granite and solid wood cabinets. The kitchen area includes the lower portion of a two story turret. The turret portion of the kitchen is configured as an office or nook area of sorts. There are lots of windows in the kitchen so your cooking will not be a chore but a dream. There is also a wet bar in the living room. The floors on the first floor are travertine marble. The stairway and second floor bedrooms have wood floors. The master bedroom features a second turet. The ceiling is vaulted so that room has an especially large feel, yet the turret makes the space so very special. The master bath is just opulent. I challenge you to find any more luxurious bath in Key West for less than $2 million. You won't find one.

Architectural details including crown molding, high ceilings, porches and solid wood doors. The wood doors on the first and second floor front are massive and of the highest quality. The 8' sliding doors that separate the living area from the pool are hurricane impact resistant to 155 mph that open wide to let the outside become part of the inside. A private, gated drive leads to the carport and a separate entry to the private pool and spa area. Each home is completely fenced and beautifully landscaped. CLICK HERE to see more photos and listing information on 1502 Petronia Street.

This home is located in the Meadows area of Key West. Bayview Park, complete with an old fashioned bandstand and public tennis courts, is located three blocks to the south. The White Street arts district is a five minute walk. The Garrison Bight Marina is located one half block away. Duval Street and the Historic Seaport are each a five minute bike ride. The three large shopping centers (large by Key West standards) are five minutes by car. The Key West International Airport is five to seven minutes depending on traffic.



I think empty nesters or a gay couple would find this home to be just about perfect. Stop by on Sunday to check it out.

This home would be great as second home for someone who wants everything that is done just right and only requires room for an occasional visitor. The second bedroom is just beautiful and would work great for a family of three, but I think empty nesters or a gay couple would find this place just about perfect. Stop by today and check it out.
