The Grande Dame Key West is by far one the rarest and most exclusive private estate residences in Key West offered as a licensed single-family vacation home.
An award winning renovation of this stately centurion Victorian has achieved an impressive balance of timeless charm, classic elegance, and modern convenience, making this property both aesthetically alluring and delightfully comfortable. (footnote 1) Originally built by the Watson Family in the 1840's, this home is the perfect place to stage a reunion of family and friends or corporate gathering. Located right in the heart of Old Town Key West's historic section of beautifully restored 19th century mansion homes, this property is situated in the 500 block of Simonton Street. From here you can easily walk to all features in the historic island village.
This impeccably detailed estate property is comprised of two architecturally beautiful buildings including: The main large luxury 3-story Classic Folk Victorian home with 6 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms; and a 1-story Classic "shot-gun style guest cottage" with 1 bedroom, 1 bath. Furnishings throughout the estate are eclectic, tasteful and comfortable. A variety of art work graces the walls.
The interior of the main Classic Victorian home offers 3 stories of living space.
