The
formal living area is located at the front of the house. This former
cigar makers cottage is rich with Dade County Pine walls throughout the
property. Notice the extra tall ceilings and large baseboards that give
the rooms a sense of strength and permanence. Each room is painted a
bit differently, but all rooms blend harmoniously. Since this home is
offered furnished, it's nice to note that the house just feels "like
home".
The
broad hallway on the left leads to the two bedrooms. The first bedroom
has an en-suite bath. The second bedroom has an entry door into a second
bath which also has a door that enters from the hallway. This second
bath is used as a guest bath as well.The kitchen, dining area, and family room are located at the rear of the house. This open space bounds with energy. The place is just so inviting. You immediately want to sit down and have coffee or a cocktail. Once you near the kitchen the back addition opens into view. You see the pool, of course, but more importantly you see all sorts of visual stimuli that immediately lets you know this is a home. Yes there is whimsy everywhere. There's a comfy sofa and chair, art, and bric-a-brac galore. The house looks both lived in but not out-lived its presence. Who wouldn't love to spend a month here?
The rear doors open out to the kidney shaped pool and rear garden where there is abundant space to get a famous Key West tan (on a sunny day). I took more photos on a semi-cloudy day which you can see if you CLICK HERE.
