Accommodations: Modernistic Villa, 2 Bedrooms, 2 Baths (Sleeps 4)
A daring designer renovation by an extraordinary Key West based artist-designer, this artful award-winning home is no less than remarkable in its setting and composition. A post "Hurricane Wilma"artistic re-creation, it is impossible to imagine that this masterpiece paradise property was once ravaged by the wrath of that horrible storm. But as inspired opportunities are often born from untold tragedy, there is always a "silver lining" just waiting to be embraced.
In this case it was for a cherished Key West house that stood as a "clean slate" made ready for a locally born artist- designer who knows and loves the island. A steadfast mid-town mid-century home with "good bones" is now transformed to a brand newly inspired island home that is artful + minimalist + colorful + paradise + private + spacious pool garden all around.
The location of this artistic modern Key West home is perfect for persons who are searching for their own island oasis offering ultimate privacy. Fully enclosed on almost two full lots the unique tropical setting is made completely private with a combination of artistic fencing and lush landscaping both inside the gates as well as curbside. A progressive design statement for this 1950’s neighborhood this property sets the ultimate example for all the possibilities of modern island living. Situated well away from the "hubbub", on a well loved street in Mid-Town, this home is close enough to Old Town that you just go straight down the street to eventually run into Duval St.
Spaciousness is pervasive inside as well as outside this property. Walk through the gates to the front door of the home and look straight out to the back of the house through glass doors to the pool. The focal point is the rectangular pool framed by a large red cannas wall from which a compelling new-wave waterfall gently curls. Indoors, the main living – great room is complete with large plasma High Definition (HD) TV, designer kitchen and dining spaces set with breakfast bar and dining table –all set one room deep, so that the artistic tropical outdoor garden is ever available to light up the indoors.
The bedrooms are minimalist and aesthetic, alluring and sensual. Texture, color, and light play an important part in the design from floor-to-wall-to-ceiling. From frosted glass interior doors offset by stone surfaces balanced by curtain textures, and earth tone walls balanced by brilliant abstract art featured with fanciful light fixtures – the effect is at once relaxing and stimulating. Light bounces all around in all the right places.
For sleeping the alluring master bedroom offers a queen size bed; the second bedroom is equally as inviting and is versatile to your taste and can be set as a twin, 2 twins, or if you wish 2 twins brought together to make a king. The second bedroom also doubles as an office and is set up complete with desk and DSL.
The home offers two modern luxury bathrooms – as ingenious as they are functional. The tiled master bath has a double size shower inside and a glass door that leads out to the spa deck, outdoor shower and pool. The outdoor shower is so captivating and refreshing, you are sure to take most of your showers here. The beautiful second bathroom offers the bath tub for the times you just want to soak. There is also a full sized laundry room situated discretely off the hall.
The over-sized outdoor garden is a rare-to-be-found in Key West and a trade mark of the designer known for her aesthetic composition that utilizes all elements of Feng Shui. The rectangular swimming pool set against the hot brilliant red wall is contrasted with moving water that quietly curls and spills as an illusive new wave. Around the pool and throughout the garden the designer used wood decking, river stones, tile, metal fencing, canvas curtains and cushions, mirrors, and tropical plants to create the many outdoor sitting rooms and magical outdoor living spaces. Outdoor lighting is an important part oart
