$889,000

Now offered at $889,000, this 2-bedroom, 2-bath Key West beachfront condo sits ground-floor at Key West by the Sea, directly across from Smathers Beach, a rare setup that lets you walk to the sand without stairs, elevators, or commuting. At 1,221 square feet, the 3BR deeded layout lives comfortably open, with room to actually use the space rather than just pass through it. Dual-zone split A/C allows personalized comfort. Hurricane-impact, soundproof windows and doors provide enhanced security, energy efficiency, and peace of mind all year long. Inside, luxurious porcelain flooring runs throughout, paired with detailed bathroom tile work chosen to match the quality of the rest of the home. The kitchen carries soft-touch cabinetry and granite countertops -- quiet, durable choices that hold up well in a beach environment, which matters more here than most out-of-state buyers realize until they've owned property in the Keys for a few years. Key West by the Sea is a managed beachfront community with resort-style amenities, meaning pool, grounds, and building upkeep are handled for you offering low-maintenance, turnkey ownership that buyers relocating from out of state especially value. The building has never flooded, a track record that matters as much as the view when you're evaluating waterfront property in the Florida Keys. This stretch of South Roosevelt Blvd sits between the Atlantic shoreline and the island's laid-back Old Town core, across the street from Smathers Beach, close to Key West International Airport, and minutes from Duval Street, the historic Bight, and Higgs Beach. It's the kind of setting where morning coffee happens on the terrace with saltwater air and pool views, evenings mean sunset over the water instead of a screen, and life moves at the pace islanders have always known: bike rides instead of traffic, conch culture instead of chain restaurants. That's the island lifestyle longtime locals like myself have watched hold its value for decades.
