2601 South Roosevelt Boulevard, Unit 118-C, Key West, Florida—SOLD $325,000.

We love the open floor plan of this snappy condo.

When Dean’s mother, Kathleen, decided to relocate to Key West a few years back, we were delighted to find her a condominium at Key West by the Sea. After completing a full renovation of her unit, she was—and continues to be—thrilled with her sleek and stylish new home. We love that she is living in a well maintained, gated community with a strong and stable association. Our concerns for Kathleen’s comfort and safety were greatly diminished by deed restrictions in place to control rentals and to require background checks for all owners and tenants. Kathleen is always delighted to let us show off her beautiful condo to our clients that are looking for a home at Key West by the Sea.

Our new listing at Key West by the Sea, Unit 118-C, is a home to fall in love with. This snappy, move-in ready, two bedroom/one bath condo is a real find. Open plan living flows to a private patio with views of eight acres of mature tropical gardens. With two pools, two tennis courts, and Smathers Beach right across the street, this beautiful Key West by the Sea condominium offers carefree island living at its best.

With three bedrooms, two baths, and a generous loft, there is plenty of room to accommodate all of your guests. You can while away the hours on your inviting front porch or enjoy entertaining on your spacious back yard deck.

813 Frances Street, Key West, Florida—SOLD $782,100.

We love living across the street from the historic Key West Cemetery. With as many as 100,000 souls buried there, and only 30,000 residents currently living on the island, the number of the dead far surpasses the living. When friends ask if we are bothered by our close proximity to the cemetery, we tell them that our neighbors could not be easier to get along with and that the unimpeded vista from our front porch is a rare and desirable find in Old Town. Unless we happen to be around for the zombie apocalypse, we have more to fear from the living.

We love 813 Frances Street's classic Key West front porch. — We love 813 Frances Street’s classic Key West front porch.

Just around the corner from our home on Olivia Street, a charming, cemetery view cottage has just come on the market. Nestled on one of the most desirable streets in Old Town, 813 Frances Street is ideally located: just a leisurely stroll from Duval Street, the harbor, and the beach.

The open floor plan is perfect for island living.

The home’s classic front porch is the perfect spot to while away the hours, watch the world bike by, and enjoy spectacular skies as the sun sets over the Key West Cemetery. A wonderful blend of traditional and contemporary design defines the home. We love the modern open floor plan with its dining room, sunny kitchen, spacious loft, and family room opening to the pool. With a ground floor master suite, covered outdoor space in the garden, and gated off-street parking, 813 Frances Street ticks all the boxes.

An art collector's dream. — An art collector’s dream.

Key West’s historic homes were built to stay as cool as possible during our long tropical summers. Designed with lots of windows to capture cooling ocean breezes, the island’s homes are typically short on wall space—presenting a real challenge for art collectors like us. The spacious 2,560 square foot home, at 1315 Eliza Street in Old Town, is an art lover’s dream. Bathed in natural light while featuring plentiful wall space for displaying art, the home breaks the typical Key West mold. We would go crazy—and most likely broke—filling the inviting walls with one-of-a-kind treasures.

The light-filled chef's kitchen looks out to the pool and garden. — The light-filled chef’s kitchen looks out to the pool and garden.

We love the contemporary feel of this beautifully renovated home. Two traditional Key West shotgun houses were joined together by a generous light-filled addition that embraces modern open plan living. The living room features a dramatic wall of glass doors opening to the sparkling pool nestled in the tropical backyard. The large updated kitchen—sporting stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and views of the garden—is a chef’s dream.

Half of the desirable split floorplan features a ground floor master suite, outdoor shower, gallery, sitting room, and an upstairs guestroom and office. Along with separately accessed guest quarters/artist’s studio, a sunny guestroom and bath balance the other side of the well-designed home.

Featured in Leslie Linsley’s gorgeous coffee table book, Key West: A Tropical Lifestyle (Our go-to gift for clients!) 1315 Eliza Street has a long history as an art-filled corner of paradise. We love this extraordinary home.
