1112 Elgin Lane, Key West, Florida—SOLD $800,000.

Living in a charming cottage—on a hidden lane in Old Town—is an aspiration of many a Key West connoisseur. Nestled between two quiet lanes, 1112 Elgin Lane is just the quintessential Key West cottage to make one’s dream come true.

We love the original Dade County pine walls.

Built in 1899, and originally owned by three generations of spongers, this picturesque home has been beautifully restored to retain its historic appeal. You will love the white picket fence, front porch swing, and classic gingerbread details. Dade County pine walls, wood floors, and multiple windows greet you as you enter the inviting living room. You will be captivated by the spacious second floor master bedroom with its exposed beams and en suite bath. The attractive new kitchen features state-of-the-art appliances and opens to covered outdoor dining and lovely garden views. Parking is a delight with a gated carport off Stickney Lane.

Tucked away in the heart of Old Town— just a short stroll from Island House and the Historic Seaport—1112 Elgin Lane is ideally located. Enjoy the quaint neighborhood feel of small-town life, embrace the island’s big-city amenities, and experience your Key West dream in this very special island home.

1108 Fleming Street, Key West, Florida—SOLD $1,140,000.

Posted by Dean in Homes We Love

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.

822 Washington Street, Key West, Florida—SOLD $1,875,000.

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!

The spacious living room features a working fireplace.

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.
