635 William Street, Key West, Florida—SOLD $1,605,000.

Strolling past 635 William Street on our way to dinner—on many a beautiful Key West evening—Dean has regaled me with stellar reviews of the wonderful home. As soon as it was listed for sale, I could not wait to see if the property was as great as Dean said it was. The idyllic home did not disappoint. Now, we are both in love with 635 William Street.

The open floor plan is perfect for entertaining.

With a charming white picket fence, an impeccably landscaped front garden, an inviting front porch, and classical Key West cottage design, the curb appeal of this one story home is as good as it gets. The long and wide entry hall is an art collector’s dream. Beautiful Brazilian cherry floors lead to three bright bedrooms and three baths (including two master suites). Open to the living and dining areas, the kitchen features custom cherry cabinets, granite counter tops, and high end appliances. From the street, one would never imagine that the cottage would feature such a large, light-filled living area. Perfect for entertaining, the open floor plan flows to the back garden with an outdoor dining space and a magical lanai overlooking the heated pool, spa, and waterfall.

We love the sparkling pool and the covered outdoor space.

Just a short walk to renowned locally-owned restaurants, celebrated entertainment venues, and the heart of Duval Street, we love the excellent location of this impeccably restored home. Moving into 635 William Street would certainly be a dream coming true.

We are not the only ones in love with 1108 Fleming Street. During our open house yesterday, we were delighted by the dozens of smiling people that had their heartstrings tugged by this charming Key West cottage.

Located on the quiet end of one of the most beautiful streets in Old Town, this quintessential Key West cottage stole our hearts when we first passed through the classic white picket gate and gazed upon the lovely bougainvillea-graced front porch. The picturesque entry welcomed us to a home that has been wonderfully designed and meticulously cared for.

We love the home’s light filled open floor plan with its gorgeous pine floors, painted wood walls and generous windows. The entry hall has a graceful staircase and opens to a dreamy guest room, an island style kitchen and a living room straight out of Costal Living. Upstairs, the master suite features an inviting bedroom, an exquisitely designed bath and a cozy office—with scuttles for superior old-fashioned ventilation.

The beautifully landscaped backyard, with its generous patio and heated pool, is perfect for tropical entertaining. Guests will never want to leave the picture perfect poolside guest cottage. With an outdoor shower, extra storage, and off-street parking on quiet Curry Lane, this slice of paradise has it all.
