A quintessential Key West cottage.

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.

Fabulous indoor/outdoor living.

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.

Paradise.
Paradise.

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.

We wish we were buying 822 Washington Street in Key West. Wow! Could we live large and entertain with style in this extraordinary single story home!

Designed by Key West architect Tom Pope, the home was perfectly created for its tropical island setting—allowing for indoor/outdoor living at its best. The 3,500 square foot, four bedroom/four bath home has a wonderful floor plan with spacious rooms flowing beautifully to the outdoors. We love that the living room, kitchen, family room and master bedroom all open onto the spectacular 1,000 square foot veranda, overlooking the 33 foot heated pool and walled garden. The generous and inviting spaces would not deter us from inviting as many as 200 to 300 guests for an unforgettable party.

Swimming laps in the 33 foot heated pool, sure would beat going to the gym.

Located in the prestigious Casa Marina District, just a short stroll from Flagler’s historic hotel, Higgs Beach, Louie’s Backyard, and Upper Duval Street, the home’s location is ideal. We could walk or bike to dinner in the evening or pull the car out of the home’s unusual oversized garage.

From the first time we toured this private and special home, we could not stop talking about its exquisite highlights and imagining the endless possibilities.
