About This Home
KEY WEST'S UNLIKELY SANCTUARY | DUAL TRANSIENT LICENSES While most Old Town properties embrace tropical pastels and wooden shutters, this exceptional compound stands as a bold architectural departure. With its striking modern aesthetic, raw concrete elements, and serene private courtyard, this is where minimalist design meets maximum investment potential, just one block from Duval Street. | THE COMPOUND | Built in 2008 on a generous 5,220sf lot, this 2,441sf property features two distinct units, a front house and back house, connected by a heated pool oasis. Four bedrooms, four full baths, soaring two-story ceilings, and thoughtfully curated interiors showcase warm mid-century touches against clean architectural lines. Wood and tile floors, built-in cabinetry, walk-in closets, and abundant natural light through expansive glass doors create spaces that are both meditative and functional. | THE SANCTUARY | High privacy walls enclose a tranquil pool courtyard with tropical landscaping, outdoor shower, and ample off-street parking. Electric gate entry ensures complete seclusion while downtown's energy pulses just steps away. | THE OPPORTUNITY | Two active transient rental licenses with 1-day minimum stays unlock exceptional income in Key West's most sought-after location. The property's distinctive design aesthetic attracts discerning guests seeking something different, proven by outstanding reviews and strong rental performance. HNC zoning supports flexible commercial use, while X flood zone designation offers insurance advantages. | THE LOCATION | Heart of Old Town, steps from Duval's legendary dining, nightlife, galleries, and waterfront. Close enough to all the action, far enough from the noise. This is investment-grade real estate with soul, where architectural distinction drives premium rates and occupancy.
