New ListingThis elegant historic Old Town cottage is a rare offering paired with a highly competitive price. Completely turnkey and perfectly suited as a winter home or seasonal Key West escape, it offers the opportunity to simply arrive, settle in, and enjoy island life from day one. Sparkling, gallery-like, and filled with natural light, this beautifully renovated Old Town Key West cottage offers the perfect blend of charm, privacy, and modern comfort. Ideally situated on a quiet one-way street, this tropical retreat is just a short stroll from some of Key West's best boutiques, bakeries, art galleries, restaurants, and gourmet food markets. Renovated down to the studs, the home features vaulted ceilings and an open-concept layout where the gourmet kitchen, entertainment bar, and living area come together to create a bright, welcoming gathering space. True to the Key West lifestyle, an expansive sliding glass door opens to a serene tropical oasis framed by lush fig vines, Spanish lime trees, swaying palms, and a majestic Royal Poinciana tree, where morning coffee, afternoon cocktails, and evenings under the stars become part of everyday life. The property also offers dedicated off-street golf cart parking, potential for a small pool, and no HOA fees, further enhancing its appeal as a private sanctuary. Thoughtfully selected upscale finishes include solid teak flooring, granite countertops, and a beautifully appointed Calacatta marble shower tub. The renovation includes all-new electrical and plumbing systems, an efficient tankless hot water heater, a metal roof, impact-rated windows and opening protections, and stylish finishes throughout. Situated in the desirable X Flood Zone, the property offers an added layer of peace of mind with reduced flood risk concerns. Steeped in Key West history, this charming cottage was once home to a local cigar maker, offering a connection to the island's rich cultural heritage while embracing the pleasures of contemporary living.
