We had a rainy morning last Sunday and then just before noon sunshine and puffy white clouds broke out making a wonderful afternoon. I hope that is the case today.
The "rock" in the driveway is plastic. It's plastic and weighs about 4 or 5 pounds. It's easily movable but stays where its at to remind guests of other neighbors on this small lane that the front parking belongs to this house. The side gate opens to a beautiful passage to the rear garden.
Notice the outdoor shower on the wall. People who live in Key West love their outdoor showers. I sue mine in the rain - I just turn up the water temperature a little higher.
The previous owners bought installed the orchid garden which is irrigated and lighted at night. There is room to add a pool but that would mean a loss of some seating area. There is room on the side passage for workers to dig and install a pool. Set backs are five feet from rear and either side.
The second floor bedroom and bath is accessed via an exterior spiral staircase. The views in my opinion are incomparable in Key West. The only home I remember with nearly as much a romantic view was from the bathroom in
Nancy Friday's former home on Pinder Lane and her view was through the bathroom windows. Only certain people get to live in magical settings. That is how I described Nancy Friday's former home when I sold it. This is such a place.

I may consider buying this house but only if you post a picture of yourself lifting that rock above your head like a real life Hercules. You can use both hands, if you must.
The rock is plastic. The former owners placed it there to keep strangers from thinking the parking place was up-for-grabs whilst they were out of town. The current owners use bikes when they are here. It still keeps strangers honest.
I can lift the rock. Come over with a check or better CASH. I'll bring a contract. Tell me the time.
