OUR TOP 5 FAVORITE HOME SALES OF 2014

Over the course of 2014, so many people asked us how our first year working together as Realtors® was working out. When we began our professional partnership, we accepted that it would either turn out to be a really great experience, or it would prove to be a total disaster.

We are happy to report that working together as the Townsend Team has been terrific. With our first wonderfully successful year under belt, we are looking forward to an even greater 2015!

Thankfully, we sold a lot of homes this year. It is unquestionably easier—and more enjoyable—selling a property when we love it. We got to thinking about the homes we were lucky enough to sell: homes we wished we were buying for ourselves, family, or friends. We came up with a list of our favorite home sales of 2014 that we hope you will enjoy.

Happy New Year!

Love the million dollar view! 327 Virginia Street

5. 327 Virginia Street, Key West, Florida. We love this Bahama Village tropical retreat that we sold for $659,500.00. The master suite’s million dollar view of the historic Key West lighthouse simply can’t be beat.

Love the Old Key West charm! 700 Pearl Street

4. 700 Pearl Street, Key West, Florida. This beautifully renovated home in the Meadows tugged at our heartstrings. Our customer loved the property’s delightful mix of contemporary and Old Key West style. He purchased the home for $614,150.00.

Love the gorgeous water views! 6800 Maloney Avenue, #110

3. 6800 Maloney Avenue, #110, Key West, Florida. We never tired of showing this charming and affordable waterfront home on Stock Island—especially when we spied manatee swimming just off the dock. We listed and sold the property for $250,000.00.

Love this spectacular waterfront home! 827 Eisenhower Drive

2. 827 Eisenhower Drive, Key West, Florida. We haven’t stopped imagining ourselves moving into this very special waterfront home on Garrison Bight in the Meadows. Although we were disappointed that we couldn’t purchase it for ourselves, selling it for $1,300,000.00 helped us feel a bit better.

What’s not to love about our favorite home sale of the year?!! 1510 Laird Street

★1. 1510 Laird Street, Key West, Florida. Our first listing of 2014 turned out to be our favorite home sale of the year.

327 Virginia Street, Key West, Florida—SOLD $659,500.

A million dollar view of the historic Key West lighthouse.

A charming retreat just a block from Duval Street.

When most people think of a million dollar view in Key West, they typically think of a sparkling, Caribbean blue, sky and water vista. With a spectacular shot of the historic Key West lighthouse from the upstairs master suite, the delightful cottage at 327 Virginia Street certainly cashes in with its remarkable million dollar view.

It is all about Key West cottage charm!

At first glance, we were captivated by this charming property. We love the tropical garden surrounding the gated off-street parking. The Bahamian shutters and sculptural Bougainvillea beautifully enhance the front exterior of the home. A newly updated kitchen and cozy living room opens to the glimmering pool and covered outdoor dining. The sunny upstairs master suite—with its extraordinary view—has French doors opening to a private balcony. Housed in a separate structure, the pool-side guestroom features a vaulted ceiling. A separate office cottage, storage building, outdoor shower, and close proximity to Duval Street add to the desirability of this unique Key West home.

1217 Packer Street, Key West, Florida—SOLD $1,100,000.

Five bedrooms, five baths, and elbow room for all!

CBS news recently reported that while most of the 76 million baby boomers are no longer caring for their children, more and more of them are becoming caretakers of an older generation. For those boomers lucky enough to retire in Key West, many of them are not only looking for a dream home that checks off all the boxes on their wish list, they are considering the needs of their elderly parents as well. Our spacious new listing at 1217 Packer Street offers a wonderful opportunity for a multi-generational family to balance the need for safety and convenience with the desire for privacy and independence.

The 4 off-street parking spaces are a rare find in Old Town!

The 3 bedroom/3 bath main house features a generous open floor plan, two large master suites, high ceilings, and great storage. Multiple French doors open to a sunny 28’ x 13.5’ pool, sparkling spa, outdoor dining, and tropical garden.

530 Grinnell Street, Key West, Florida—SOLD $750,000.

We love the cottage’s superior curb appeal.

Big things don’t always come in small packages. In the case of the charming cottage at 530 Grinnell Street, they certainly do.

We love the gorgeous interiors.

Designed by Key West architect, Guillermo Orozco, the home masterfully maximizes its 800 square feet with an open floor plan and lofty vaulted ceilings. The stunning island inspired interiors were fashioned by Houston’s Blair Gordon Design. We love the Brazilian Ipe wood floors, Dade County pine walls, Caesarstone countertops, maple cabinets, top-end appliances, and custom built-ins. The magical bunkroom is a childhood fantasy come true.

The bunkroom is a kid’s dream come true.

The storybook island cottage never ceases to capture our attention when we are strolling to Sunday brunch at Azure. From the Stephanotis draped white picket fence, to the indigenous Lignum Vitae tree shading the inviting front porch, the cottage radiates curb appeal plus. It is no wonder that this award winning home has been featured in the pages of Coastal Living.
