Remarks & Misc

Remarks – Consumer: Tucked into the leafy heart of Midtown, just a quick bike ride from Smathers Beach, Higgs Beach and the energy of downtown, 1708 South St. offers something increasingly rare in Key West: a property with nothing to do but move in and enjoy. With its classic stone facade, this 1952 residence captures the distinctive architectural style that defined post-war Key West, delivering 1,445 sq. ft. of low-maintenance living, ideal for the second-home buyer who wants the Key West lifestyle without the upkeep of a larger historic home. Tile floors run throughout, complementing a solid wood kitchen that retains its excellent-condition granite countertops. A versatile Florida room to the rear opens through French doors to the back garden, equally suited as a formal dining room, a home office, or a playroom. Beyond, the backyard is a blank canvas, ready to become a stunning tropical Key West oasis complete with an outdoor entertaining area. The detached guest cottage, with its own private entrance, adds a third bedroom to the property and is currently leased to a long-term tenant at a meaningful monthly rent, offering established income with true separation of space, a compelling proposition for the second-home owner who wants their property earning for them even when they're not there to enjoy it. A covered carport for two vehicles and abundant storage round out the property's everyday practicality. Offered at a clear value against comparable Midtown properties, this is an entry point into island living that is as flexible as it is rare. Welcome to Key West Living at its finest.
