813 Frances Street, Key West - Just Listed Old Town Charmer

Just Listed 813 Frances Street, Key West. This truly is one of my favorites houses in all of Old Town Key West. The listing Realtor, not me, describes this home thus:

"Picturesque Key West Cottage filled with an abundance of Charm and wonderful architecture. Located right in the Heart of Old Town, this two bedroom/two bath Southern Belle has all the qualities of the perfect Key West home. Completely open from Living Room to Kitchen to Pool and Patio. Double Hatch Windows open from Kitchen to Pergola so you can enjoy the balmy breezes. Wonderful private pool with Privacy fence surrounding the property and access to full bath/shower from inside and out. Master suite on ground floor with additional bedroom on second floor and a spot for an office or reading nook. Dade County Pine, soaring cathedral ceilings, Central AC, Custom Built Shelving, Stunning Stained Glass, Gorgeous Hard wood floors and so much more. Off street parking and X Zone."

I looked in my old shoebox and found the above black and white photo taken back in 1965. Compare it to the color photo above. The original louver windows and the galvanized chain link fence have been replaced but the classic bungalow style is the remains. The inside is totally renovated and expanded.

I'll bet you were not expecting such a dramatic interior. The living room ceiling rises to the rafters and makes the inside every bit as inviting as the exterior is charming. The stairway leads to the second floor bedroom which opens to the living area below. This is the perfect space for the occasional guests.

As if this home wasn't comfy enough, the kitchen and family room make life here downright enviable for those who desire a relaxed life style. Two windows lift back into the kitchen space creating counter space when entertaining out by the pool.  The family room is bathed in light during the daytime. Note the stained glass window at the far end of the room. That it is the guest bath which may also be accessed by a separate door off the pool.

The master bedroom and bath are located on the first floor. Custom panel walls, crown molding, high baseboards and trim are among the details that make the interiors of this home so appealing.
