Eye-widening Caribbean view. Beautifully decorated. Turnkey condition. That, in a nutshell, is what you'll find at K71 Questa Verde. From the balcony of this spacious and airy condo you get what is arguably the best view at the hillside complex: a drone's-eye view of Christiansted, seaplanes lifting off from the town harbor, Protestant Cay, Buck Island and - on reasonably clear days - St. John and the British Virgin Islands, 40 miles across the multi-blued Caribbean. The solid, 1700 square foot condo underwent a complete reconstruction in the early 1990's - courtesy of Hurricane Hugo in 1989 - followed by a gut renovation in 2004 and multiple upgrades since.

Supplements: In 2017 Hurricane Maria gave it little more than a power wash, followed by lucrative FEMA rentals that provided the opportunity for new appliances, along with a sparkling new paint job in an array of tropical colors that the previous owner labeled "genius." The two-bedroom, two and a half bath duplex is the only one in the entire 83-unit complex with three entrances. They include a ground floor door at the end of the walkway leading from the parking lot, one from the primary bedroom suite to a backyard patio, and a main entrance from the breezy walkway on the second floor. The condo will be sold "as is," and in this case that's very good news. The condo is fully furnished with comfortable and durable furniture. Throughout the unit the walls are adorned with Caribbean paintings and sketches from notable St. Croix artists that include Nancy Byrnes, Alexis Levine and a huge wall hanging in the dining room designed by the Christiansted gallery owner Christa-Ann Davis Malloy. Mounted above the desk in the living room is a colorful wooden "fish" - serving as cabinet for stationery and other supplies. The unit includes a new (2025) washer and dryer. The kitchen is fully equipped with cutlery and other utensils and a full complement of tropically themed fiesta ware. Questa Verde, which has one of the best condo pools on the island, is extremely well managed, with some of the lowest condo fees on St. Croix. The complex, a mile by the way the crow flies from downtown Christiansted, is remarkably quiet, the loudest sounds frequently being the soothing coos of the mourning doves in nearby trees. (Your human neighbors, friendly and caring, are there - you just rarely hear them). Whether it's a next home or an investment with superb long-term rental prospects, K71 is a superb property worth at least a look-see. Some come, look, and see. Note: Owner is a licensed USVI REALTOR.
