The Real Deal - Sitting Pretty Atop Solaris Hill
Who
wouldn't fall in love with an historic Cigar Maker's Cottage located in Old Town atop Solaris Hill within easy walking distance to everything but far enough away not to be in the
middle of it all? I took the photo above several years ago when I was listing agent on a big old fixer. Since then the the fixer houses across the street and next door to the south have been completely renovated. Local artist Rich Worth immortalized 627 Elizabeth Street. See photo below.
The listing Realtor describes 627 Elizabeth Street in
Old Town Key West this way:
"Location meets Quintessential Conch cottage in harmony at this 3bd/2.5ba gem with sunny pool and beautiful finish details throughout. This charming light filled home has been expanded to create a private 2nd story master suite. Enjoy an open floor plan that boasts cathedral ceiling finished in wood and built in entertainment center. A spacious custom kitchen is the perfect segue through double French doors to a sunny back deck with ample room for dining, lounging or a dip in the heated pool. Two additional light filled rooms share a custom Jack and Jill bathroom plus a half bath for guests. An ideal location atop Solaris Hill, don't miss this charmer offered turnkey furnished with an established vacation rental history."
The original
home was meticulously restored from the ground up including piers and
other structural elements. I got to go through the house on several different times while the renovation was in progress. I saw the attention to detail put into this home as it was supposed to be the retirement home for my friend. The economy went sour and the dream home was sold. The home however is the perfect little home atop the highest point in Key West. The front entry is located on on the left
side of the home. The entry hall has a vaulted ceiling that adds drama
and flair as the hall progresses toward the new addition at the rear.
Two bedrooms with a Jack and Jill bath located between them are situated
at the front of the home. A convenient guest bath is located at the
end of the hallway just before the hallway opens to the living area with
an expansive vaulted ceiling. An ever so delicate staircase is located
at the far end of the living area. That staircase provides access to the
second floor master bedroom and bath at the back of the new rear
addition. You will find the deluxe kitchen with beautiful cabinetry and
stainless steel appliances located at the rear of the home. French
doors from the kitchen out to the large deck and pool area. Offered at
$1,399,999.
