1311 Newton Street - The Meadows Area - Key West"On a quiet one way street in the coveted Meadows neighborhood sits this quintessential Key West cottage featuring two bedrooms and two baths ensuite. Bright, vaulted living room, kitchen and dining are highlighted by carved balustrades and beautiful custom stained glass. An 84 sf loft situated in the eaves is perfect for storage. The living room and updated kitchen opens up through French doors to the deck, heated pool, covered patio and bar offering wonderful indoor/outdoor living. Dade County pine, transom windows and a classic sitting porch are just a few of the special features this cozy cottage offers. Completely fenced with optional space to park your conch cruiser."
The house makes very efficient use of the 784 sq ft of living space. The formal entry is at the rear opposite the pool and covered outside living area.The living room and kitchen share a vaulted ceiling. French doors with side panels enlarge the view from the living area out to the pool. Overheard windows let more light in and the space comes alive. The kitchen end of the room is topped by a loft area accessed by a ship's ladder in the hallway. The loft is fenced off by a railing of cat cutouts similar to porches on old Key West houses. The cat whimsy is heightened by the levity of a mouse at the far end of the panel.
Little touches of whimsy and big dashes of style make this Key West cottage a property worthy of serious consideration. 1311 Newton Street is offered for sale at $530,000. CLICK HERE to view the Key West mls database and more photos of this charmer.
1311 Newton Street is located two blocks east of White on Newton Street. CLICK MAP to see a Google aerial view of the area. I doubt you will see many Conch Trains or Trolleys on this block. The streets are a bit more narrow than other areas in Old Town. Most of the houses in this area have been renovated, but not all. There are still a couple of fixers on this block but there are many more that have been redone. The Meadows Area is just as lovely as Old Town and probably a bit quieter. Prices are definitely less expensive, but the weather and friendly neighborhoods are the same.
