This 1967 sq ft contemporary home was built new in 1988. It was designed with the main living area at the rear with numerous French doors that light the living areas by day and provide easy access to the large pool and spa beyond. The vaulted ceiling visually expands the already large space in the mind's eye. The light colored travertine marble floors work well to soften the feel of this large space. The home has been freshly painted throughout (inside and outside). New Viking appliances were recently added to the ample kitchen with multiple stations for food preparation and storage.
Not shown in the outdoor photos are storage closets on either side of the house where there is a place for everything. And in this house, everything is put away where it belongs. There is a pool bathroom located on the east side of the house near one of two storage closets. There is also a whole-house generator for those occasions we lose power from the mainland.
Several years ago the Thompson Estate located directly across the street. Thompson was a friend of Ernest Hemingway. There was a giant head of a rhinoceros or some other huge dead beast brought back to Key West from Africa hanging on the wall. The grounds were huge but filled with palm trees to provide total privacy. As I reflect on this little part of the island, many of the lots, like 1406 South Street, had not been built upon before. Perhaps Papa Hemingway and Thompson stood on the grounds of 1406 South and practiced shooting a wild chicken or iguana. Who knows.
