About this House

This is one of those Florida Keys homes that immediately makes you want to slow down and stay awhile.
Set behind lush, mature landscaping, this elevated conch-style pool home feels like a private island retreat, designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining. The open living spaces flow naturally toward the backyard, where the pool and gardens become the heart of the home.
Outside is where this property really shines. Meandering paths lead you through a tropical backyard with multiple gathering areas — from the pergola and fire pit to the outdoor bar and BBQ space. Whether you're hosting friends, enjoying a quiet evening by the fire, or spending long afternoons by the pool, there's room here to live it all. Tucked into the greenery is a charming bathhouse, adding to the easy indoor-outdoor lifestyle the Keys are known for.
The screened porch and dining area overlook the turquoise pool, creating a seamless connection between inside and out. The landscaping offers total privacy and is a dream for anyone who loves gardening, with a mix of native and exotic plants, fruit trees, and herbs.
The home has been well cared for and thoughtfully updated over the years, including impact windows and doors, roof and insulation upgrades, updated systems, and pool improvements. There's generous storage, a large laundry and utility space, ample parking, and even room for a boat or RV.
Located on a quiet street with a peek of the Atlantic and pedestrian access to a small neighborhood shoreline, this home offers the best of Keys living — peaceful, private, and close to everything that the islands so special. Sold unfurnished. RV maybe offered separately and is not part of listing price. Some plantings/outdoor furnishings and accessories will not convey. B&BATVAI
