417 Simonton Street

It will take a labor of love to restore the Grande Dame of Simonton Street to her original glory. Many original details grace this marvelous home. It was renovated in the 1960’s with a few more recent upgrades. The main house has 3BD/3BA, high ceilings, original details, wood windows and wood floors (some recently refinished). The accessory structure is 1BD/1BA with a separate electric meter. This most wonderful block of Simonton is steps away from the Studios of Key West and the Eaton Street arts and theatre district as well as the Marquesa Cafe and Fausto’s Food Palace. Opportunities for reimagining a home of this caliber in Key West are rare. There is off-street parking and a lovely back yard. This property is a legal duplex and is located on the transient receiver site zone map, so license transfer may be possible upon approval of government entities. From our research with Tom Hambright, local Historian and Senior Librarian for Florida History in Monroe County, the earliest record found on the house is 1889. Although, hearsay, it is possible that the home is dated earlier and was moved from another location to its present location at 417 Simonton St.
