Just Listed,
11 Nassau Lane,
Key West. I have written
several blogs about the previous owners who fell in love with this little house even before we made it to the inside. This was the
first and only house these buyers looked at. It was love at first
sight. That was about seventeen years ago. It is now available for
purchase.
The
owners believe this home was built circa 1860 just before the start of
the Civil War. Although this home has been updated and expanded, the
Dade County Pine walls in the living room and kitchen are extra wide
boards which are indicative of very old growth wood. A previous owner
replaced the original floors, remodeled the kitchen and bath, added
French doors to the side and rear bedroom.
The
current owners converted the main floor bedroom at the rear into a den and added a Murphy Bed (not shown in these photos.) The garden view is joyous.
Several
years ago the owners added a second floor bedroom and bathroom
plus covered rear porch and and created a love nest in the process. Who
wouldn't fall in love with a treetop space this precious? The vaulted
ceiling with skylights, sharp repetitive angles, plus contrasting natural
and painted woods are juxtaposed to the expansive open views of the
surrounding trees and blue sky. As the photographer was snapping photos
of this space, I noticed strands of shells suspended on the porch. They
shimmered like gems. Yes. They shimmered like gems. Precious gems.
