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!

OUR TOP 5 FAVORITE HOME SALES OF 2014

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. This magical three bedroom, two bath home features an open floor plan leading to a generous veranda, sparkling 20’ x 20’ pool, lush tropical gardens, and a one-of-a-kind guest cottage. We were delighted to sell the beautiful home for over the asking price at $705,000.00.

711 South Street, Key West, Florida—SOLD $3,650,000.

711 South Street offers resort style living at its best!

We love the welcoming foyer.

A few years ago, I was invited to a soirée in New Orleans’ historic French Quarter. I found myself standing before an austere two-story brick wall on Dauphine Street—double checking the address—convinced that I could not possibly be at the right place. Having been told that the party was being held at an exquisite private residence that had recently graced the pages of Architectural Digest, I could not imagine such a treasure being hidden behind such an uninviting façade. After hesitantly ringing the bell, I was soon welcomed into a jaw-dropping property that far exceeded my grandest concept of perfection.

The living room opens to the resort style pool.

Much like the French Quarter, Key West has its lion’s share of magnificent homes, surprisingly concealed behind white picket fences and lush tropical landscaping. 711 South Street is one such hidden treasure.

After touring 711 South Street for the first time, Dean returned to the office with a look of astonishment on his face—declaring it a paragon of design. He could not stop describing the flawless home as sheer perfection, down to the smallest detail. How could we not be in love with 711 South Street? It is spectacular.

The exquisite master suite is divine.

The golden touch of legendary interior designer Alexander Baer can be seen throughout the home. From the moment we enter the verdant front garden and meander along the winding brick path to the generous and welcoming front porch, we are transported to a genuine Key West fantasy. The wide foyer opens to an office, two large guestrooms, a grand and inviting living room, and an unforgettable veranda. The exquisite master suite is divine. We love that the kitchen, with its tiger maple cabinets, opens to both the living room and the veranda. The separate garage and guesthouse is as beautifully designed as the main residence. The resort style pool and patio, surrounded by tropical plantings, makes us believe that this extraordinary home deserves a five star rating.

We have strolled past 711 South Street countless, never imagining that paradise lay beyond its white picket fence.

2026 Seidenberg Avenue, Key West, Florida—SOLD $925,000.

We first fell in love with 2026 Seidenberg Avenue when the midcentury modern gem captured our attention in Leslie Linsley’s gorgeous coffee table book, Key West: A Tropical Lifestyle.

A mid-century modern architectural gem!

We love the tranquil color palette.

Our friends Guillermo Orozco and Kent Ducote not only renovated the 1950’s home, they created a one-of-a-kind Key West masterpiece. Architect, Guillermo Orozco saw past the original construction’s small rooms, lack of charm, and dark kitchen to envision a modern, light-filled home that would suit a contemporary lifestyle.

Rick Worth’s custom mural is enchanting!

Style abounds throughout the three bedroom/2 bath home. We love the neutral, off-white, and earthy tones that bathe the home in serenity. The inviting living/dining room is perfect for visiting with friends and family. Painted by Key West artist, Rick Worth, a beautiful wall mural of a mangrove forest turns the sitting room into a magical retreat. The modern kitchen features custom cherry wood cabinetry, honed-slate countertops, stainless steel appliances, a wine cooler, and a reverse osmosis water purifier. Overlooking the pool and garden, the upstairs master bedroom opens to an intimate balcony.

Breakfast in the pavilion?

Paradise clearly exists in the garden of the home. The stunning black lagoon pool, coral stone waterfall, and tropical plantings are enchanting. The alluring outdoor pavilion is the perfect embodiment of outdoor island living at its best.

We wish we were moving into 2026 Seidenberg Avenue. What a gem!

1232 South Street, Key West, Florida—SOLD $1,050,000.

Enjoy indoor/outdoor island living at its best!

It is always a delight when we show buyers a beautifully renovated, move-in-ready home. The stunning 2 bedroom/2 bath home at 1232 South Street, is one such property. We simply love it!

We love the contemporary designer style and open floor plan!

Situated on a lushly landscaped corner lot on highly regarded South Street, the home invites one to enjoy indoor/outdoor island living at its best. A privacy wall and tropical plantings provide seclusion for entertaining by the pool, preparing dinner in the outdoor kitchen, relaxing on the covered lanai, or welcoming the day on the morning terrace off the master suite.

Entertain by the pool, prepare dinner in the outdoor kitchen, and relax on the covered lanai.

Contemporary designer style and eco-friendly details are evident throughout the open floor plan. We love the living room’s gorgeous coffered ceiling, sustainable bamboo flooring, stylish fans, and beautiful crown molding. The newly renovated kitchen impresses with its dark custom cabinets, recycled quartz countertops, stainless steel backsplash, and energy efficient appliances. LED lighting, a tankless water heater, UV/impact resistant windows, and recycled denim insulation add to the environmental friendliness of this terrific home.
