The historic home was built with large molded concrete Indian block that was designed to be fire and hurricane resistant. — The historic home was built with large molded concrete indian block that was designed to be fire and hurricane resistant.

Just steps from the Southernmost Point sits one of the most elegant homes currently on the market. For anyone desiring a beautifully renovated, move-in-ready, historic Key West home, 405 South Street is not to be missed.

We love the double parlors opening to the wraparound porch.

Prominent Florida judge J. Vining Harris—builder of Key West’s world famous landmark “Southernmost House”—built the home at 405 South Street in 1910 and gave it to his daughter as a wedding gift in 1913. When Key West mayor Delio Cabo (1957-1961) owned the house, he installed the exquisite stairway railing that had previously adorned the island’s Old City Hall. In 2000, the home was meticulously renovated by architect Guillermo Orozco and was awarded the Star of Excellence from the Historic Florida Keys Foundation.

The master bedroom sports a view of the ocean.

The home seamlessly blends historic details and traditional design with the best of contemporary living. The first floor features a wraparound front porch, an impressive entry hall, spacious double parlors, a formal dining room, a den with casual dining, and a gorgeous kitchen with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. We love the Brazilian hardwood floors as well as the original moldings and doors. The second floor offers three bedrooms and an ocean view balcony. The grandkids will be in heaven in the third floor’s grand sleeping loft. With off street parking for multiple cars, a garage with an upstairs apartment, and room for a swimming pool in the garden, this home is a true Key West treasure.

KEY WEST FUN FACT #3

Posted by Dean in Key West Fun Facts

KEY WEST FUN FACT #3: When the Key West Lighthouse was constructed in 1847 it stood 58 feet high and was close to the water. After the island expanded through landfilling, the lighthouse was elevated to 78 feet so its beacon could be seen over the trees. The landlocked Key West Lighthouse now sits seven blocks from the ocean.

A million dollar view of the historic Key West lighthouse.

A charming retreat just a block from Duval Street.

When most people think of a million dollar view in Key West, they typically think of a sparkling, Caribbean blue, sky and water vista. With a spectacular shot of the historic Key West lighthouse from the upstairs master suite, the delightful cottage at 327 Virginia Street certainly cashes in with its remarkable million dollar view.

At first glance, we were captivated by this charming property. We love the tropical garden surrounding the gated off-street parking. The Bahamian shutters and sculptural Bougainvillea beautifully enhance the front exterior of the home. A newly updated kitchen and cozy living room opens to the glimmering pool and covered outdoor dining. The sunny upstairs master suite—with its extraordinary view—has French doors opening to a private balcony. Housed in a separate structure, the pool-side guestroom features a vaulted ceiling. A separate office cottage, storage building, outdoor shower, and close proximity to Duval Street add to the desirability of this unique Key West home.
