To be more ''on the water'' than this property would require living on a houseboat. Hilton Haven, a residential peninsula off Roosevelt Boulevard, in the Gulf of Mexico, surrounds homeowners with water and being a single road a limited number of neighbors for a peaceful yet central place to live. Or, come by boat as the dock boasts a 20,000 lb boat lift and new 80 foot dock right outside your door! Key West's main thoroughfare remains a hum in the distance, and yet is easily accessible for quick commutes to Old Town, New Town, the airport, or U.S.1. This sprawling property features a main house with a separate apartment on the side for guests or to supply rental income, each with a private entrance and ample outdoor space. Both could be reconfigured to include more rooms, if desired.French doors could easily be added to the main house for an unobstructed, 180-degree water view and free flow of Gulf breezes, but even as it stands the main living area offers abundant natural light from three directions. The other standout feature of this home is that the floors are made of original, Cuban tiles. Their aquatic green recalls the shallows of the Florida Keys, back country waters, swirling, mysterious and calming. Throughout the home, they infuse the rooms like another form of light. Of course, outdoor living is the whole point of Florida Keys life, and this home welcomes it to the utmost with a walled, outdoor shower off the master bedroom and another outdoor shower near the dock, a large yard hugging the coastline with room to build a swimming pool, a dock, an additional floating dock, and a boat lift. A few steps from home, and you can float into the sunset from this dream spot in the heart of Key West. Update existing structure or build your new dream home with panoramic water views. Could be eligible for second ROGO with LUD program.

The post A Key West Home That Puts You Right On The Water appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

Directly inside this grand home on a discreet old town alley, a generous yet snug living room welcomes with ample comfy seating and the sense of slipping back in time. Historic Dade County pine throughout the first floor establishes a solid, everlasting quality, as well as a warm, toffee glow from the seasoned wood. Each room is deeply steeped in a calm, settled character: this is a house that will hold itself down for you, like an old friend. Don’t be surprised if it inspires activities that got swallowed up by modern or city life: reading books, watching films, playing a vintage board game or wiling the hours away daydreaming. The possibilities of the chef’s kitchen may also lead the way. With buttercream cabinets and walls, plus enough room for a cocktail party, the kitchen area is the heartbeat in the embrace of 315 Peacon Lane. With plenty of bedrooms, a treetop balcony off the master bedroom, a claw foot tub in the master bath, and an outdoor space overlooking a pool with dancing fountains, this house offers endless possibility of space. Peacon Lane, formerly known as Grunt Bone Alley, used to be the shortcut locals took to reach the waterfront to fish, and it’s still a prime location for central yet private Key West living. It’s the best of the old that’ll be your new favorite place.

The post Handsome Key West Home appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

A castle on the ocean's edge, this home was built for privacy, tranquility, safety and—above all—abundant riches of water access. Every detail from South American coral and travertine paving, to full hurricane-impact enclosure, to soaring ten-foot-high ceilings welcomes immersive, Keys living in absolute comfort. This new construction home invites year-round, coastal living with all the advantages of being on the ocean (soothing views from every room; approved permits for two deep-water docks, and ample space for both a swimming beach and pool) without compromising luxury. Beautiful no-fuss, blonde hickory floors run throughout. Stunning marble in master bath and Carrara marble in the guest bathroom. Shelving throughout the home is custom-built. A Sub-Zero refrigerator, Wolf cooktop,

Bosch dishwasher, GE double convection and microwave oven complete the dream kitchen which accesses a sweeping porch perfect for lingering dinners in the fresh, salt air. Additional covered space under the house would allow for additional, outdoor living space mere steps from the water. With its ample grounds and detached guest cottage, this home is perfect for hosting the kinds of gatherings that make lifetime memories.

Many houses in the Keys put you in touch with the elements, but the elements often take charge. This house invites the light, the views, and the freedom of island living, but can also be air-tight and fully self-contained.

Boat, fish, and swim all day, then return home to every amenity and comfort: that is what this castle on the ocean edge offers.
