11 Nassau Lane, Key West

Just Listed, 11 Nassau Lane, Key West. I have written several blogs about the buyers who fell in love with 11 Nassau Lane and 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.  That was fifteen years ago. And now this home is 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. The 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. Today there is a sleeper sofa that opens for visitors from the frozen north. The prior owner had a Murphy Bed in this space which worked well for his needs. I think visitors won't willingly want to leave this Garden of Eden view. There are over 50 orchids in the garden which convey with purchase of the house.

Several years ago the current 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.

1609 South Street, Key West, Florida

1609 South Street is new to the Key West real estate market is this mid-century home that looks nothing like houses of the early 1950s. It has been totally revamped and looks just great. The listing Realtor describes the home this way:

"This meticulous 3 bedroom 2 bath home has all the upgrades you are looking for. The open floor plan features granite counter tops, custom solid wood cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, marble baths & lots of storage. Master has a large walk thru closet & en suite bathroom. The front & backyard are beautifully landscaped with local fruit trees & private entertaining space. Garage and Parking! House is connected to 16kw generator with an 80 gallon propane tank."

The living area is on the left side of the home while the bedrooms and bathrooms are located to the right.

I was particularly impressed with the closet and storage spaces created during the renovation. Rea families need real storage spaces. This home has plenty of storage. The baths have all been updated as well. The 1240 sq ft home sits on a 60' X 94' lot but that is is about all of the original house that has not changed. The floor plan has been reworked with a modern open space living plan that is evident as soon as you walk in the front door.

 Brick pavers create an easily maintained front entrance to the property and the garage. Readers from up north may not be aware that few homes in Key West have garages or carports.  This home also has a kid-friendly back yard with covered deck area and a nice grassy play area for the children all protected by privacy fencing.
