The listing Realtor describes
909 Eaton Street in
Key West this way:
"Isola Bella is where the Mediterranean meets the Caribbean. Gated and private,
this historic Key West home is reminiscent of a Sicilian Villa. The spacious
front yard and patio dining area are relaxing spaces adorned by Italian Cypress
trees and statues fit for a Roman piazza. Ionic columns frame the welcoming
front porch, leading to an interior masterpiece of original Cuban tile floors
and custom built cabinetry. The open living area flows into a colorful breakfast
nook, where French doors open to the inviting pool and patio. 2 BD/2BA main
house with 1 BD/1BA guest quarters, off-street parking and walking distance to
the Historic Seaport, White Street, and Duval Street. Featured on the 2009 OIRF
Historic Homes tour, this unique property is your chance to experience Old Town
Key West with a twist of Sicilian flair. Priced below recent appraised value!"
This
is an Old Town home unlike any you have seen before in this blog or in
person, of that I am sure. It is definitely worth a look if you are a
buyer seeking a really nice home in a good location with a pool and off
street parking which is offered at a reasonably affordable price. The
house itself was built new in 1958 and later renovated to its current state. It is a CBS house with stucco finish
with 1312 sq ft of air conditioned living space situated on a 50' X
106' lot (5326 sq ft) - that is equivalent to a standard lot in Casa Marina or twice the size of a standard Old Town lot.
Although
the house has been updated, some original features such as the
Cuban
tile floors remain to add character to this home. In fact the first thing
I noticed when I entered this home was the floors which are in
impeccable condition. The living room alcove is to the left of the front
entry. The bedrooms are located to the right. As you pass through the
dining area French doors come into view and after that the covered patio
and pool emerge.
The
kitchen provides all the necessities in a colorful and compact
environment. The pool area has both covered and sunny spaces. As much as you will want a sunny pool, you will quickly realize you need shade as well.
