715 Frances Street, Key West, Florida—SOLD $1,360,000.

One of 30 historic eyebrow houses on the island. Beautiful!

It has been said that it is the surviving collection of simple, though decorative, well-proportioned houses of great dignity that is impressive and appealing about Key West architecture.

We love that every room is light-filled and inviting.

The great majority of the homes in Key West’s historic district are classified as examples of either Classical Revival architecture or Key West vernacular architecture. One uniquely Key West modification to the Classical Revival style is the eyebrow house. The eyebrow house was based on the New England saltbox house in that the front wall is commonly a two-story plane and the rear wall a one-story plane. The front roof rests on the front porch pillars, partially obscuring the windows of the upstairs rooms, making the eyebrow effect. This awning like feature keeps out direct sunlight and offers a desirable cooling effect.

Paradise in your own backyard.

715 Frances Street is one of the best examples of the 30 vernacular eyebrow houses on the island. The beautifully light-filled home has been lovingly renovated to preserve the unique character of the home—while offering all the conveniences of contemporary living. We love that the home features two spacious living areas and three bedrooms with en suite baths. The high-end kitchen, with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, opens to the sunny family room. The 6,000 square-foot lot showcases a sparkling heated pool, hot tub with waterfall, outdoor shower, lush tropical landscaping, and highly coveted off-street parking. We could move into this stunning home today—we just love it!

A+ Curb Appeal!

Strolling past 635 William Street on our way to dinner—on many a beautiful Key West evening—Dean has regaled me with stellar reviews of the wonderful home. As soon as it was listed for sale, I could not wait to see if the property was as great as Dean said it was. The idyllic home did not disappoint. Now, we are both in love with 635 William Street.

The open floor plan is perfect for entertaining.

With a charming white picket fence, an impeccably landscaped front garden, an inviting front porch, and classical Key West cottage design, the curb appeal of this one story home is as good as it gets. The long and wide entry hall is an art collector’s dream. Beautiful Brazilian cherry floors lead to three bright bedrooms and three baths (including two master suites). Open to the living and dining areas, the kitchen features custom cherry cabinets, granite counter tops, and high end appliances. From the street, one would never imagine that the cottage would feature such a large, light-filled living area. Perfect for entertaining, the open floor plan flows to the back garden with an outdoor dining space and a magical lanai overlooking the heated pool, spa, and waterfall.

We love the sparkling pool and the covered outdoor space.

Just a short walk to renowned locally-owned restaurants, celebrated entertainment venues, and the heart of Duval Street, we love the excellent location of this impeccably restored home. Moving into 635 William Street would certainly be a dream coming true.
