Property Information |

From the moment you enter the gates to the private grounds of this graceful 1800's Key West Victorian Estate your senses will quickly awaken to a time in history when elegance and romance was abound. Completely hidden from the street, this renovated two and a half story private Victorian mansion estate beckons you to wander through the mature tropical gardens, lounge on the stately double column porches, and refresh in the natural form pool. Once you enter the gated grounds, clocks seem to stop while you leave the hurry up world behind.
This is one of the few large historic Victorian Key West homes built in the Bahamas by shipbuilders and then disassembled and shipped to Key West in the late 1800's. It was then reassembled where it now stands by skilled tradesmen of the time. This stately mansion took residence on the island during the time of early pioneers and the pirates of the Caribbean. The home was originally owned by eccentric adventurer French Count Dr. Odette Philippe.
Philippe was a Key West pioneer who established a lucrative cigar making company in Key West. Local lore declares that gold was once buried on the grounds by various recluse adventurers who took up residence at the property when Philippe owned the home.
Today this historic home is one of the few large Victorian Mansion estates available for rent as a single family residence. The property is a spectacular treasure and an endearing reminder of those fanciful earlier days gone by. A stay at this special estate almost feels museum-like as it offers a unique opportunity to intimately experience first hand a slice of Key West architectural history.
Enjoy all of the original design work of handcrafted giant covered verandah porches, carved banister staircases, original Dade County pine floors and walls, high 12 foot ceilings on the first two floors, and original French windows and doors throughout to stream in the sunlight. The large 2nd floor porch is located right off the master bedroom to create a private verandah.
The home has been renovated to offer all the creature comforts required of the 21st Century guest including central a/c, fully equipped kitchen, three full bathrooms, color cable TV's stereo, fully equipped kitchen, and swimming pool. The home is nicely furnished with an eclectic collection of modern and antique furnishings, and original artwork.
The first floor has two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The first bedroom has a king size bed, the other has antique bedroom furniture with a four poster double bed. The second floor has a large master suite with a king bed and full bath with a bidet. French doors open off the master suite to the large second floor porch. The remainder of the second floor is a sitting area. The third floor has two bedrooms. Each bedroom has two twin beds.
There is private off street parking, but forget about a car. From here you can walk or bike everywhere.
Just outside the gates of this secluded estate is in the heart of all Old Town Key West attractions. The location of this historic property is undoubtedly one of the most requested in the Key West.
