THE WRITER'S COTTAGE ~ Renovated 2 BR/2 Ba Home w/ Parking!
NOSTALGIC AND INSPIRATIONAL HAVEN...
History permeates and echoes through the classic Dade Pine details of this lovingly preserved Conch cottage, once home of locally esteemed Liz Lear, the "Duchess of Ashe Street". This retreat has hosted icons of literature and art such as Tennessee Williams, Leonard Bernstein, and other creative giants. Layered with cultural allure and situated on one of Old Town's most sought-after-streets, this home's storied past whispers to come in and find sanctuary here.
***PRIMARY GUEST MUST BE AT LEAST 25 YEARS OF AGE***
DETAILS AND AMENITIES…
As you enter through your white picket fence to the classic conch porch with intricate and whimsical woodwork into the welcoming interior, the style is Old World charm graciously restored to respect its historical weight, yet skillfully updated to satisfy modern convenience. A wall of French Doors, a stunning salvaged window and a 14 foot cathedral ceiling beckon soothing southernmost sunlight inside, enveloping you in its tropical warmth. A fully stocked contemporary kitchen and dining area encourage time spent breaking bread over lively debate with your favorite people. Choose from a library of novels to dive into or enjoy live streaming on Roku TV for all your favorite shows! A washer/dryer resides in an outdoor shed.
SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS…
Slumber well in one of the two cozy bedrooms, one with a queen bed and the other with a queen futon and office space for those working remotely. Both rooms are equipped with a shower bathroom.
OUTDOOR LIVING…
A canopy of greenery and mature foliage shelter and shade you in your backyard hideaway, with a propane gas grill and seating for dining and dreaming under the sultry stars of Key West. A soothing turtle pond completes the experience and your island soul has found the garden of serenity it has yearned for.
