415 Amelia Street, Key West, FL—OFF THE MARKET

The late Lord Harold Samuel, a real estate tycoon in Britain, is widely credited with coining the expression: “There are three things that matter in property: location, location, location.” The charming cottage at 415 Amelia Street—located on a quiet block just off historic Upper Duval Street—is ideally situated: close to celebrated restaurants, galleries, and entertainment. When it comes to a winning location, it is a true blue ribbon property.

Just steps from the action, you will enjoy the best of island living in your own backyard. Catch some rays in your sunny secluded oasis, swim in your sparkling heated pool, dine under your Moroccan-inspired canopy, and relax in your colorfully tiled outdoor shower.

Island style abounds in this beautifully renovated, two bedroom/two bath, 1930’s cottage. Contemporary open plan living greets you as you enter the home. You will love the cozy and colorful living room. A beautifully crafted staircase leads to a spacious loft. The dining room offers plenty of space for holiday gatherings with family and friends. Opening to the pool, the master bedroom is bright and sunny. The updated kitchen leads to the garden; making outdoor entertaining a breeze. Your guests will love the charming guest cottage.

415 Amelia Street offers you an extra-special bonus: off-street parking. With a gated brick driveway and carport that comfortably accommodates two cars, you will not be searching for the illusive Key West parking space.

Don’t miss the chance to own your centrally located, quiet corner of paradise.

OUR TOP 5 FAVORITE HOME SALES OF 2015

2015 proved to be a great year for Key West real estate and a great year for the Townsend Team! We were fortunate to list and sell many beautiful homes. Even better, we were lucky to work with many wonderful clients and real estate professionals that made doing our job a pleasure.

For the second year, we have compiled a list of our favorite home sales of the year. Not only did we wish we were buying these wonderful properties for ourselves, family, or friends, we had a great time working with the buyers, sellers, agents, loan officers, and all the people that helped make these sales happen.

Happy New Year!

OUR TOP 5 FAVORITE HOME SALES OF 2015

5. 1217 Packer Street, Key West, Florida. It was bittersweet listing this spacious Old Town property for the estate of a former client. Selling it for $1,100,000.00—to the delightful client of our fellow Doug Mayberry Real Estate agent, Kent Ducote—made it turn out to be one of our favorite sales of the year.

4. 2412 Linda Avenue, Key West, Florida. We were bound and determined to find a buyer for this charming home with amazing views of the salt ponds. Our friends and clients, from Dean’s Bone Island Bare It All weekend, fell in love with it too. They purchased their corner of paradise for $670,000.00.

3. 17176 Bonita Lane West, Sugarloaf Key, Florida. Not surprisingly, just one day after we listed this beautiful canal front home in the MLS, we were under contract. Our Sellers were delighted that their property sold quickly for $862,500.00.

2. 908 Trinity Drive, #2, Key West, Florida. We worked with the Buyers for nearly two years before we found the perfect home for them. Our friends purchased their dream home for $629,000.00.

★1. 3729 Eagle Avenue, Key West, Florida. The best things in life do not always come easily. This was certainly the case when our clients purchased this stunning Spanish Revival home in New Town. After overcoming many challenging obstacles, our clients happily closed on their new home for $1,300,000.00.

We love 1117 Grinnell Street #2 in Old Town Key West!

Wonderful indoor/outdoor living!

The small house movement (also known as the “tiny house movement”) describes the architectural and social movement advocating living simply in small homes: houses less than 1,000 square feet. With the financial crisis of 2007-08, the small house movement came into its own, offering housing that is more affordable and ecologically friendly. Key West embraced tiny houses long before they became fashionable.

Charming!

Cozy!

Built in 1933 and beautifully redesigned, 1117 Grinnell Street #2 is a small-scale cottage that is next to perfect. The two bedroom/one bath, 587 square foot abode offers the best of tiny house living. Gorgeous wood floors and walls, vaulted ceilings, granite countertops, mosaic tile, and French doors add to the home’s charming interior. The classic front porch and the back porch overlooking the sunny community pool, extend the living space to the tropical outdoors.

We love living in a small house. Our historic Conch cottage is just 722 square feet on the main floor, plus a cozy loft. Although challenging at first, we have happily adapted to living large in a small space. Out of necessity, we have only filled our house with objects we wish to cherish forever. Combined with the house’s charming architectural character, our unique collection helps to make our pocket-sized cottage a place that always makes us smile. Small house living is for us!
