About This Home
As of May 2023The Historic District of Key West is considered to be the utopia of island life, making the Orchid House at 526 Frances Street the creme de creme of stress free living. This Victorian era Queen Anne cottage is nestled in the heart of Old Town on one of the most coveted streets and just walking and or biking distance to the island's premiere restaurants and beaches. The circa 1900 house has been expertly restored and renovated preserving the original detailing while being totally updated for today's standards. Featuring a signature cross-gable roof, Dade County Pine throughout, a heated pool, and one of the most captivating orchid gardens on the island, the spacious two bedroom, two bathroom home is a tropical oasis perfect for entertaining or relaxing. The open concept living space and dining room feature sliding impact doors leading out onto the wraparound deck and custom heated pool. Multiple outdoor lounging spaces covered and uncovered create the perfect setting to enjoy the island life!**A permit is in place for an approved parking space that may convey with the purchase.**The reason the sellers are selling their home so quickly, that they absolutely love, is that one of the sellers has a medical issue that doesn't allow them to live in the tropics any longer.
