While many first time buyers of a home in Key West seek a place in Old Town "close to Duval Street", others prefer the quiet Casa Marina Area known for the larger lots, tall swaying palms, and short walking distance to the beaches. The new listing at 1101 Von Phister Street enjoys all of the features selective buyers want. Th listing Realtor describes this home this way:
"Located
in the most sort after Casa Marina area, sits this incredible one level
home with a 40 Ft lap pool surrounded by some of the most outstanding
tropical landscaping. The home is currently divided into 2 separate
living spaces. The main structure consists of 2 en suite masters with
access to the pool. Living room is surrounded by French doors leading
to the pool and dining area. Off the dining area is an expansive
backyard. The guest cottage has 2 bedrooms, one has access to its own
outside sitting area. An Elegant kitchen opens to the living room. There
is parking adjacent to the guest cottage for 2 cars and the main
entrance has parking for one.."
The forty foot pool is one of the largest private pools on the island. Unlike so many of the homes in Old Town which are often small and only have brief moments of real sun time, this Casa Marina pool enjoys sun from mid-morning through mid-afternoon all year long. And the large corner lot ensures no neighbor can watch you grab some all-over rays. Sun worshipers will fall in love with this pool upon first sight.
The 30 foot living room has a picture window view of the pool on the west while three sets of French doors on the east open out to the dining area with garden views of the rear garden. Another set of French doors opens into the living room from the entry alcove. You will find travertine marble tile flooring throughout the entire house and the the guest cottage.
The chef's kitchen includes stainless steel Viking Appliances, custom cabinetry, and slate counter tops. Two Italian pendant lamps add just a bit light to the island with Sharp Microwave Drawer. The outdoor dining area opens out to the rear gardens.
French doors in the south master bedroom open out to the pool. The home office is located just off the bedroom which includes a larger walk-in closet.When you get tired of computing, open the French doors to take a dip in the pool..The bath includes a handcrafted vanity with slate (used throughout the main house) and six foot shower also lined with travertine marble.
The second master suite also has French doors that open out to the pool plus a rear door which opens out to the rear garden where the outdoor shower is located.
This home also includes a guest wing with a separate living room, kitchen, and two bedrooms which share a large bath complete with a large walk-in travertine shower. The separate entry is off a lush tropically fenced private yard plus separate off street parking,

House is a very good entertaining house - I went to a pretty big party there fairly recently.
This house is very familiar but I think the owner is somewhat famous in Key West society so I would expect a lot of social whirl. Beautiful home. And priced so well it’s sure to sell quickly.
That is not a house; it is a home. Sure there are many newly renovated houses in Key West but that looks like the home of someone that has spent many years there creating an important life in that home. Just look at that desk! That looks like the desk of a hardworking man that has spent many long hours doing very important work there for the benefit of others. Perhaps the owner of that house is a writer? Perhaps he is a dreamer? Perhaps someone whose writing has allowed others to live their dreams? I mean, who but a dreamer or a dream-maker would so prominently display statues of a ‘fat cat’ and a ‘flying-pig’ in their home?
I for one wish this dreamer a quick sale of this beautiful “home” and true happiness. However, it is worth pointing out, a very wise and creative man born into my faith, who quite frankly was also a bit of a machugina, once said: “The Talent of being happy is appreciating and liking what you have, instead of what you don’t have”. — Woody Allen. Another of my faith wisely proclaimed, “Happiness isn’t something you experience; it’s something you remember. " — Oscar Levant. Nonetheless, I personally wish the seller of this house true happiness wherever his final destination.

Malarkey! The owner is wanting to move on and away from tired Key West and it’s ruination by rampant tourism and forgotten quality of life. Owner is a realtor- read the MLS data sheet and learn.
I like the Rabbi's comments more than the above. Unless you are a psychic, you never know what somebody else will do before they do it. This is a sad but true story. A former psychic who had his shop on Duval Street got murdered. I could not understand why he didn't see it coming.

A dreamer? More like a Gary.
