 "Hidden gem just a short walk off White Street on Catherine. Well updated 2/2 with a heated pool and some very pleasant exterior space. Nice master with French doors opening onto the pool area."

While the covered porch has a door that enters directly into the living room, you are more than likely to enter the house via the kitchen door. It's less formal and more practical. The kitchen leads directly to the dining area which flows into the living room. A decent sized guest bedroom is located off the living room. That bedroom has a door that opens out to the deck that overlooks the pool. The master bedroom is located at the back of the house. The room runs the width of the house and like the guest bedroom this bedroom opens out to the swimming pool.

With the double doors in the master bedroom opened to the outside you not only have a beautiful view but you can also hear the sound of the water splashing into the swimming pool. Unlike parts of Old Town where you may hear the clang of a trolley or the ring-ring-ring of a bell, this part of Key West is tucked away just far enough to be near places of interest but your not amid all the hoopla. You can be there in a few minutes.  Heck, you can be anywhere in Key West is about five or six minutes unless town is crowded with tourists.

 

This house is designed for informal Key West living. Note that windows in the kitchen open out to a bar which provides covered outdoor dining space.  Adjacent to the covered porch is a stand alone cottage which is currently used just for storage. An outdoor shower is located next to the cottage. A new owner might find a more creative use of this attractive space. CLICK HERE to view more photos of this property.

This property does have a successful vacation rental history. However, a new owner could just as easily buy this home and keep it all to him or her self.  Not every buyer wants to share the sheets with strangers.  This home is priced at $659,000 and offers features that cost a lot more when the house is located in the heart of Old Town.
