11 Nassau Lane, Key West - Weekend Open House

With only three shopping days to Christmas, I thought I would host a Pop-Up Open House at

11 Nassau Lane 

Saturday and Sunday (December 22 and 23)

12:00 to 2:00 PM

 If you are speeding on a scooter, slow down. If you are riding on a bike or walking, turn south and walk down one of the sweetest slow lanes in Key West. 11 Nassau Lane is located mid-way up this dead end lane.  You're in for a treat!

I have written several blogs about 11 Nassau Lane, Key West.  I sold it to the previous owners about seventeen years ago 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.  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.
