1013 Packer St, Key West, FL 33040

Locals and aspiring locals who've done their research know that Packer Street in central Old Town is ideal. Walk to the harbor, Duval St., the beaches, and the White Street district from your classic Key West cigar cottage in the X flood zone. This home has good bones (Dade County pine underneath the layers), a newer metal roof, and is ready for your renovation as the least expensive single family detached home in Old Town Key West. The exterior walls do all the load bearing, so open up the interior space worry-free. Or keep the existing small 2/2 footprint for friends and family who'll come out of the woodwork to book visits with you in this location. The loft bunk space is in addition to the 701 square feet downstairs. There's even a small backyard, begging for a dipping pool and curation as your hidden tropical oasis. Don't talk yourself into a less desirable area. If you're moving to Key West, do it right the first time by getting your foot in the door in the Old Town market, then get busy creating the little island cottage you've dreamed about. If you'd rather get in right away and renovate over time or in the future, you'll need to install flooring throughout and update the a/c. Plumbing and electrical have already been updated in a previous renovation.
