Entrance:
A hidden walkway lined with manicured tropical leads to the front entrance. Before you step up onto the front porch, take a moment to enjoy the rooster sculpture standing proudly in the garden. According to lore, the rooster is a symbol of good luck and prosperity. And beyond that, the rooster is the unofficial mascot of Key West, where gypsy chickens are legally protected due to their significance to the islands colorful culture.
1st Floor: As you enter the front door the expansive great room captivates your senses. The entire great room is painted in a soothing sand color and trimmed with bright white wainscoting. Artwork reflects your whereabouts with a map of the Caribbean and a luminous rooster painting.
To your right, the newly renovated kitchen dips back into the front of the house. The kitchen is fully equipped with upscale appliances, and complete dining, cooking, and hosting sets. Displaying classic bright white cabinets with glass front doors, the ceiling is adorned with a fanciful metal sculpture chandelier. Finished with stylish quartz marble countertops the breakfast bar is fitted with artful hand-carved wooden chairs.
A bamboo bentwood dining table and chairs, topped with an elaborate seashell chandelier, is situated behind the breakfast bar. The dining room sets a tropical tone and creates a natural division between the kitchen and the living room.
To your left, conveniently located beneath the staircase, you’ll find a powder room with sink and commode. The cultivated design incorporates grass reed wallpaper that is appointed with a round gold mirror and gilt palm tree wall sconces.
Returning to the great room, kick back in style in the elegant and comfortable living room. A soft textured matching sofa and loveseat is paired with a soft print armchair. The seating area is finished with bamboo side tables with reading lamps, and perfectly complimented with a mango wood credenza plus teak and metal coffee table. A 72-inch TV is mounted on the wall for easy viewing from anywhere in the great room.
Two sets of single-pane glass French doors comprise the rear of the first floor. The doors provide a great view and seamless indoor/outdoor connection during the cooler months and access to the private tranquil sitting patio.
2nd Floor: A wooden staircase on the wall opposite the dining area, leads upstairs. Steps topped with dark wood treads and fronted with bright white risers, varnished wood railing, and capital topped posts reflect a timeless Key West design. At the top of the stairs, a bedroom hallway leads to the master suite and guest bedroom.
Both bedrooms feature a Tommy Bahama style décor, creating an opulent Caribbean/British Colonial feel. Dark wood, woven rattan, and carved bureaus reflect the essence of sophisticated island living. Floors are covered with wall-to-wall seagrass carpet, and palm leaf ceiling fans complete the upscale décor.
Guest Bedroom One – Directly to your right at the stair landing, lies the guest bedroom. Sunshine yellow walls seem to glow against the dark furnishings. The king size bed features carved bamboo posts, and the matching armoire features Chippendale inspired cutouts and woven rattan panels. Bedside tables on either side offer woven base reading lamps. A double sash window provides a beautiful view of the treetops.
Just outside this guest room is the guest bathroom. The effervescent green mosaic tile with round portal window is reminiscent of the tropical rainforest the Truman Annex neighborhood so closely shares its climate with. A single sink vanity is topped with a gold tone mirror and faucet to match the fixtures in the shower. Back in the bedroom hallway, at the front of the house is the master suite.
Master Suite – A sumptuous king size bed of dark wood, woven rattan, and pineapple posts and matching bedside tables and lamps elevates the bedroom to a luxurious exotic retreat. Grass reed wallpaper adds to the sophisticated aesthetic. Three sets of sash windows stream in natural light and a full-length mirror reflects the twilight glow. Connecting with the bedroom is the private master bath.
The master bathroom is made exquisite with a quartz marble countertop finished with sunken double sinks and gold tone bath fixtures. A counter to ceiling mirror above the vanity provides the perfect place to primp. The oversize shower, with ceiling rain shower, features a stunning Caribbean blue mosaic tile wall.
Laundry Closet – Step back into the hallway, you’ll appreciate the convenient location of the laundry closet. The stacked washer/dryer are kept hidden behind a closet door. At the opposite end of the hall, the staircase switches back to the 3rd floor where we find two more guest bedrooms.
3rd Floor: On opposite ends of the third floor lie guest room two and three. Both bedrooms are similarly appointed with two queen size beds placed on either side of a sash window. The front bedroom is shown with the white bedside table and bold colorful rug. The bedroom toward the back of the house is shown with the grass woven bedside table and the round blue and white rug.
The full bathroom is located just outside the front bedroom. It offers a single shower and is nicely finished with a marble topped single sink and wooden shelves to place your toiletries.
