Nestled in the heart of Old Town Key West, this historic gem boasts an impeccable blend of classic architecture and modern amenities. With a rich history dating back to the late1800's, this captivating residence offers the perfect opportunity to own a piece of Key West's storied past.
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places and awarded the Gold Star for Historic Preservations, 516 Elizabeth St. is the perfect example of a Classical Revival Eyebrow House - a style unique to Key West. The roof overhangs over the second floor windows onto classic porch columns giving the suggested appearance of 'eyebrows' providing protection from rain and sun allowing the inside to have fresh air even during the hot summer months. Upon entering the home, original Dade County pine walls, high 10ft ceilings, original double hung wooden windows exude the timeless elegance of a bygone era.
While preserving its historic character, this home has been thoughtfully updated with modern amenities. The kitchen features custom wooden cabinets and stainless steel appliances and all bathrooms are beautifully renovated. Enjoy the convenience of contemporary living without compromising on the historic appeal. The primary bedroom and bathroom upstairs provide a tranquil retreat, and the guest bedroom downstairs with it's own bathroom is convenient and comfortable.
French doors lead from the formal dining room and kitchen to a sundeck with a covered dining area and extra lounging space to entertain. A Pool with water feature and new decking was just added to the property.
This home has a rich history, with tales of past occupants, the Pinder family, and the unique stories of its heritage adding an extra layer of prestige and historical significance to its charm.
This historic home is a rare find in a prime location, offering the best of both worlds. The house has some monthly vacation rental history and is sold furnished (some personal pieces & all art work excluded)!
