When you arrive the piercing green (almost black) shutters offer a distinct counterpoint to the crisp white clapboard siding of this charming cottage. I dug deep into my old shoebox and found a photo of the home taken in 1965. Compare the way it looked nearly fifty years ago from how it looks today. It almost looks the same, except it got better.
The listing Realtor, not me, describes this home this way:
"Charming Conch Pearl of a home in a wonderful and quiet old neighborhood. Meticulously restored, upgraded and maintained. Two bedrooms, bathroom, living room. Kitchen and dining room, both completely redone and modernized,open through French doors to the patio, pool and workshop/laundry. All doors and kitchen window have retractable screens. Magical covered outdoor living area embraced by lush tropical landscaping w/irrigation system, outdoor shower, private decked patio, and heated pool. Off-street bricked-parking for one vehicle. Deceivingly modest from the street, this charmer is a MUST-SEE to appreciate!"
The lanai currently has an old fashioned swing on one side and a hammock on the other. There's a place for outdoor dining, and sunning by the pool. There is also an outdoor shower located adjacent to the rear cottage that houses the washer and dryer and also provides some additional storage. The backyard is both sunny and private but provides covered shady spots as well. CLICK HERE to view more photos of this super Key West home.
