We wish we were buying our extraordinary new listing at 1500 Atlantic Boulevard, #107, in Key West, Florida. The stylishly renovated two bedroom/two bath Key West Beach Club condominium is one of a few homes to entice us to trade in our Old Town cigar maker’s cottage for a place on the water.

Loft-like splendor with views to die for.

Captivating beach, sea, and sky vistas are matched only by the loft-like splendor of this open, up-to-date, 1,500 square foot home. The grandness of the wide-open, 49’ x 16’, kitchen, dining, and living space, greets you as you enter. Fashioned with dark wood cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and a sleek stainless tile backsplash, the modern kitchen is straight out of Elle Decor. Expresso bamboo flooring and stunning ocean views, carry you to the generous dining area. With room for a table to comfortably seat ten and wall space for large works of art, the stage is set for memorable dinner parties. Enjoy great conversations, or quiet time with a good book, in the spacious living room area overlooking the Atlantic.

In the exquisite master suite, you will awake to the colors of a Caribbean sunrise dancing on the water. Opening onto the balcony, the master never lets you forget that you are living the tropical island dream. The stunning master bath features a large Carrera wrapped shower with a wall of glass looking out to the sea. You will feel like you are showering outdoors. A long walk-in closet offers plenty of storage and access to the laundry room.

We love the welcoming guest suite.

The welcoming guestroom is nearly as spacious as the master. With a wall of windows offering lots of light and sizable closet space, your guests may never want to leave. Cleverly designed, the guestroom en suite can be privately accessed, or—with the close of a door—can serve as a powder room.

A  million dollar view.

Wonderful indoor/outdoor living!

Wonderful indoor/outdoor living!

The small house movement (also known as the “tiny house movement”) describes the architectural and social movement advocating living simply in small homes: houses less than 1,000 square feet. With the financial crisis of 2007-08, the small house movement came into its own, offering housing that is more affordable and ecologically friendly. Key West embraced tiny houses long before they became fashionable.

Charming!

Built in 1933 and beautifully redesigned, 1117 Grinnell Street #2 is a small-scale cottage that is next to perfect. The two bedroom/one bath, 587 square foot abode offers the best of tiny house living. Gorgeous wood floors and walls, vaulted ceilings, granite countertops, mosaic tile, and French doors add to the home’s charming interior. The classic front porch and the back porch overlooking the sunny community pool, extend the living space to the tropical outdoors.

We love living in a small house. Our historic Conch cottage is just 722 square feet on the main floor, plus a cozy loft. Although challenging at first, we have happily adapted to living large in a small space. Out of necessity, we have only filled our house with objects we wish to cherish forever. Combined with the house’s charming architectural character, our unique collection helps to make our pocket-sized cottage a place that always makes us smile. Small house living is for us!
