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.
