What's special

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 (Lease expires Sept 30th 2026) at a meaningful monthly rent, offering established income with true separation of space, a compelling proposition for the second-homeowner 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.
