Live in the lap of luxury in this stunningly renovated Key West classic "Eyebrow House". An esteemed Key West renovation builder assembled a creative team of elite woodworkers, masons, local craftspeople, and an internationally known traveling artist / sailor to execute his plans. The interior designer owner put on the finishing touches with an eclectic collection of upscale classic, modern, and island dÈcor. This combined effort has created a dream worthy island home.
The main concept behind the builder's design was to refocus the main living areas to the large fenced back yard and create a tropical ambience for indoor / outdoor living and lounging. This was accomplished by placing multiple sets of double French doors all along the back wall of the open great room / kitchen that lead to the spacious wooden deck and brand new heated pool with trickling waterfall. Recessed halogen lighting was added to the great room to compliment the open wood beams and bounce light to the highly polished wood floors. High end furnishings include sofa, chairs, dining table, and plasma TV. And for convenience there is a ½ bath (sink and commode) off the great room. The final effect is elegant, yet casual.
The designer "chef's kitchen" is a grand scale "U-Shape" plan banked all the way around with cupboards and drawers. Appliances are high end stainless steel and include double ovens as well as a large refrigerator / freezer. Look up and see the kitchen has a unique open tent-shaped bead board ceiling highlighted with fans with carved wooden blades. Under foot, rich tiger hardwood floors span the entire length from the kitchen all the way through to the great room to integrate the common living spaces.
Great room furnishings are showcased against an unknown artist's mural backdrop. The old mural depicts historic Key West architecture and was considered a "treasure find" when old wood was ripped away by the construction crew. Once the builder decided it was historically correct to keep the mural as homage to the home, artist David Wegman was brought in to recondition and highlight the interesting elements of mural. Wegman was also consulted for the color scheme used throughout the renovation.
Colors are also used to visually link the great room to the classic Victorian living room—complete with original working fireplace. Rich green walls capped with white crown molding lend a spice of tradition that complements the sash windows and colonial mantle lighting. Set up as a living room / den, this room has doors that make it private from the rest of the house. It is furnished with a comfortable sofa, coffee table, and beautiful selection of chairs lending it to be used as a private space for consultation or extra sleeping.
The bedrooms are laid out well for maximum privacy. The first floor main bedroom is located toward the front of the house on the left as you face the home. This bedroom has an elegant designer en suite bathroom that includes an artistically tiled shower with multiple shower jets. Facing the house, the upstairs bedroom on the right is the master bedroom. A viewing ladder poking through the ceiling leads to a unique private roof top deck. Across the hall is the second upstairs bedroom. The original wooden walls of this room have been stripped of paint and varnished to celebrate the richness of the original heart pine. This spacious room is set up as a suite with a trundle bed (that can work as 2 twins or a king bed) and a sofa in the dormer window area. Each bedroom has its own unique style luxury bathroom.
The layout of this home makes it ideal for family groups or small groups of friends. This home is offered as an exclusive vacation rental. The property will not tolerate smoking inside. Only well behaved children are welcome. This property is not "child-proof".
