Interior Photos of 2817 Venetian Drive in Key West

We've just received some fantastic new photos of the property I blogged about last week located at 2817 Venetian Drive in Key West. Specifically, I wanted to share these pictures with you because they contain interior views. I blogged a lot about the amazing outdoor paradise this home provides -- beautiful gardens, pool, patio and deck -- but not much about the inside. So here's a peek at what you'll find on the inside of this large three-bedroom, three-bath, centrally-located waterfront home.

I previously blogged about the newly-renovated kitchen with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops and an eat-in bar. It's lovely, don't you think?

The home has beautiful wood walls throughout, with lots of light coming from the double doors leading to the deck.

Second bedroom would be perfect for guests.

One last view of the stunning pool!

Even with these new photos, you still need to see it to believe it. Please call me to schedule a showing of 2817 Venetian or another dream home in Key West!

Just listed! Canal-front home with pool in Key West!

Anyone who follows the Key West housing market knows it’s difficult to find a home with a water view and/or access. In fact, a current search of the Key West MLS turned up only eight active listings of single family homes under $1 million with this criteria. Only three are located on a canal.

The newly-listed home at 2817 Venetian Drive is not only located on a canal, but also has a large in-ground cement pool surrounded by beautifully manicured yard and gardens. There’s also stone patio directly on the waterfront and a wood deck that goes all the way around the house on the upper floor overlooking all of this. A steel frame and plank wood step spiral staircase gives easy access from the house to the yard, pool and picnic area. All of this is fenced on two sides for privacy and no neighbors across the canal. I’d have to say it’s one of the most idyllic outdoor settings you’ll find, even on an island as beautiful as Key West!

The home itself is 2,200 square feet and includes three large bedrooms with closets and three full bathrooms on the upper level. The kitchen has been completely renovated with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops and an eat-in bar.

Under the home on the ground level you’ll find a large, deep, two-car garage. There is an additional off-street parking spot on the property. For your safety and security, the house has a new alarm system, updated electrical panel, new garage doors, triple pane windows and storm shutters.

Venetian Drive is centrally located off Flagler Avenue in New Town. This neighborhood is the only place in Key West where you’ll find canal-front homes. You’re less than a mile from Key West High School and a five minute drive to the closest supermarket and K-Mart in one direction or Smathers Beach in the other direction. If you’re looking for more action, Duval Street is only two miles away!

The listing price for 2817 Venetian Drive is $795,000, which gives you a price of $361.36 per square foot of living space. You can’t get much better than that in Key West, especially when you consider the beautiful outdoor space and location of this waterfront home.

If you’d like to take a closer look, call me to schedule a tour. I’d be happy to show you why I think this is one of the best deals on the island right now. You can reach me at 305-304-1708 or nexxthome@yahoo.com.

1023 Johnson Street: Stately Home in Casa Marina Neighborhood

The recent listing at 1023 Johnson Street is one of those rare finds in Key West: 2,400 square feet of living space on a 7,500 square foot lot in, arguably, the best neighborhood on the island (Casa Marina). This stately home has three bedrooms and three baths (two full and one half) on two floors, lovely shaded gardens, screened-in porch, covered carport and detached garage with storage.

Shaded deck with lush tropical foliage

Lovely, private screened-in porch

The first floor and second floor are equal in square footage. On the ground level you have a formal living room and a formal dining room, kitchen, sunny breakfast nook and a private study with a half bath.

The formal living and dining rooms will transport you back to an era of dinner parties and sitting rooms, but they have been updated to reflect a light and airy tropical feel. These are large open areas that could easily be converted into whatever space you desire using your own style and creativity or used as-is.

The kitchen is fully-functioning, but could use some updating of cabinetry and appliances, just like most any home you’d consider purchasing. I love the cute breakfast nook off the kitchen with many windows and bright, whimsical atmosphere.

The unique private study would be perfect for a guest suite, sewing room or office. It could also be used as a downstairs bedroom if you’d prefer not to climb the stairs every night, making this actually a four-bedroom home.

The grand stairway connecting the first and second floors is one of my favorite features of this home. The upper floor contains three full bedrooms and two full baths, giving the owners plenty of space for guests or a large family. The master suite is truly colossal – the size of many an entire conch cottage in Key West! Transform this space into your own personal sanctuary within your home.

With 5,100 square feet of outdoor space, there’s no shortage of room for the garage, carport, large wood deck, screened-in porch and lush, tropical gardens. You’ll have plenty of outdoor privacy, too, thanks to the mature trees and foliage throughout the property.

This home was built circa 1938 and its curb appeal will surely draw you in immediately. Impressive columns and a large front porch, as well as the beautifully manicured front lawn, make this home a real standout in the neighborhood.
