Description

Prime Old Town Mixed-Use Property - Live, Work, or Invest! Ideally situated in Old Town Key West, this Historic Residential Office (HRO) zoned property offers a rare opportunity for both residential and commercial use. Previously, home to a successful spa, it's perfectly suited for continuing as a business or transforming into a private residence. Filled with character, the space features stunning Dade County Pine walls, adding warmth and historic charm. The layout includes a one-bedroom apartment with a private rear entrance, making it ideal for someone who wants to run a business in the front while living on-site or creating an additional rental opportunity. One interesting piece of history was that this building was previously owned by a well known attorney here in Key West by the name of ''Helio Gomez''. He served as Judge from 1963 to 1977 and he was the attorney for the infamous John ''Bum'' Farto. Located just one block from Duval Street, two blocks from the Hemingway House, and steps from the courthouse, this property offers prime visibility and accessibility. Whether you're an entrepreneur looking for a turnkey business location, an investor seeking a valuable addition to your portfolio, or a homeowner ready to bring your vision to life, this space is full of possibilities. Don't miss this chance to own a piece of Key West history in an unbeatable location. Note: This property is currently configured as a commercial space with 1 bedroom but has the potential to expand to up to a total of four bedrooms, pending submission and approval of all applicable permits with the City. Any future development or expansion must comply with all relevant sections of the Land Development Regulations, including meeting the definition of a single-family home and avoiding any conflicts with the definitions or restrictions related to lockout units.
