The timeless charm of this distinguished Classic Revival mansion is at once authentic and magnificent. If you have ever had the opportunity to stroll the historic residential streets of Old Town of Key West, you have experienced first hand the type of incredible architectural history this home embodies. This is a meticulously maintained grand wooden home that was built in the late 1800’s most probably for a prominent seafaring captain.
Displaying an abundance of elegant and gracious Victorian design, artisan ship carpenters milled elaborate gingerbread trim that adorn turned porch columns that line the front of the home. Deep porches grace the entire width of the first and second floor porches, beautiful stained glass transom windows top symmetrically set French doors, and oversized windows surround the home to invite in the light and tropical breezes. The quintessential white picket fence with capitals topped posts gracefully surrounds the front yard to complete the perfect picture of elegance.
INTERIOR LAY OUT:
Throughout the restorations and renovations the interior of this home has, for the most part, retained its authentic original layout. Below is detailed description by floor.
DOWNSTAIRS – right side (as you face the house):
A classic center hall design lends for the impressive hard wood entrance hall that leads all the way to the back of the house. The original wide wooden banister staircase is intricately carved, and anchors the center point of the home. Stately rooms with 12- foot ceilings line both sides of the house.
The front right side of the first floor holds a large parlor / conversation room that gently flows via a mid-point archway into the spacious living / media room. These rooms are beautifully furnished and artfully decorated with up-scale fine furniture, art work, and lovely window coverings. The living room has a large armoire that serves as the TV / entertainment center. The last room on the right is the beautifully renovated modern kitchen.
Complete with granite counter tops, cook’s island, and beautiful wooden dining table, this luxurious kitchen has French doors that lead to the pool and deck area. The layout is ideal for entertaining. The wooden table has the added feature of expanding to seat your group for sit-down meals.
DOWNSTAIRS – left side (as you face the house):
Across the center hall are the rooms that line the left side of the house. The front room on the left is the perfectly appointed library. Furnished with comfortable seating, a writing desk, and a wall of bookshelves, this beautiful has the added feature of a delightful Murphy bed that makes this room a delightful sixth bedroom in the home.
Go out the door from the library and turn left down the hall, and the next door is the second downstairs bedroom. This large room bedroom has a king sized bed. Authentic and romantic appointments include mosquito netting, antique armoire, and beautiful art work. The last room on the left is a full bathroom.
Outside in the back is the private swimming pool and wooden pool deck. There is plenty of seating for sunning and lounging.
UPSTAIRS – right side:
The beautiful banister staircase goes straight up and leads you to the back of the second floor. Atrium style hallways switch back on both sides of the stairway to create the entrances for the four bedrooms. From the right front of the house looking back, the first room we call “Anne’s room.” This gorgeous room has a full size bed and trundle bed. Custom decorator bed coverings create a delightful canopy style headboard. The day bed is covered with a beautiful twin pleat coverlet. Exposed, hand rubbed bare heart pine walls and romantic window sheers create a wonderful joyful feeling.
The next bedroom down the right side of the hall is the master bedroom. We call this the “Captain’s Suite.” This suite is furnished with an inviting Tuscan style king sized four-poster wooden bed, antique dressers, beautiful art work and artifacts, and a halo netting to create a romantic setting. The last room on the right side is the en-suite dressing room / bathroom for this suite. This grand room is both fantasy-like and dream-worthy. Appointments include white cotton duck “fainting Chaise,” a large bird cage armoire, and double sinks, and romantic lighting. The ceiling in this spectacular room is raised in the center to show off the beautiful roof structure of the home. Both of these rooms also have natural heart pine wooden walls and hardwood floors.
UPSTAIRS – left side:
The left front bedroom on the second floor we call “Jack’s room.” This spacious handsome room is fit for anyone with discerning taste. Like all the other luxury bedrooms in this great home, it feels grand and inviting. Jack’s room has a comfortable wood and wicker king size bed, halo netting, artistic furnishings. Pale yellow walls with crown molding offset the beautiful heart pine wooden floors.
The next rooms down the left side are the “Executive Suite.” Comprised of a large beautifully furnished bedroom and spacious en-suite bathroom, these beautiful rooms are comforting and a joy to be in. The bedroom offers the same style king size wood and wicker bed we find in Jack’s room. Other appointments include artful furnishings including an upholstered dressing bench and French country style armoire. Like the front left hand bedroom, walls are painted a subtle tropical yellow that warmly highlights the heart pine floors. Crown molding and ginger bread trim around the windows and doors add the final touch to make this suite picture perfect.
The last room off the hall is the third bath on the second floor. This is a full bath and serves as the bathroom for Anne and Jack’s rooms.
