Welcome to 316 Peacon Lane, Key West which was just listed for sale by Preferred Properties Key West. That is where I work but this is not my listing. The listing Realtor describes this 1.986 sq ft home this way:
"Historic Conch style home located in The Famous Key West Seaport Area. Spacious 3 bedroom 3.5 baths Dade County Pine walls and floors throughout which have painstakingly removed, sanded and hand finished, On the first floor there is a large master en-suite, half bath, living, dining and kitchen area, opening to a secluded pool and covered outdoor dining. Upstairs there is another large master, guest room, laundry niche and porch overlooking the tropical trees of downtown. Brick off street parking. Home is being sold turn key with all furniture and necessities."
Let's take a look inside and the pool area. Then I will tell you how to find this nearly hidden gem.
Key West is famous for its historic old homes most of which have been restored or renovated to some extent or another. This house has been totally renovated and expanded. There is bricked off street parking up front plus space for bikes. The porch is the perfect perch for people watching - if ever people go by. This lane is one-way and hard to find. More on that later. Inside there is large first floor bedroom with ensuite. The open space plan living area is at the rear where two sets of French doors open out to the rear deck that overlooks the pool and garden. Pay attention to the photos because most of what you see is included in the purchase price.
The renovated house now has 1986 sq ft of living space divided between the two floors. The first floor has a full bedroom and bath. There is a large second floor front bedroom also with private bath. The master bedroom is quite large and includes an en-suite bath with shower and tub, ample closets, and a private roof-top deck with great views.
The Calvin Klein house at 316 Eaton Street distracts drivers looking for Peacon Lane which is located on the opposite side of the street. Peacon Lane is a one-way lane that runs from Eaton to Caroline Street where it ends. The historic seaport is a block away. I checked the Historic Sanborn Fire Maps to determine when this home may have been built. It appeared in 1889 Sanborn Map and was then identified as A5 on Grunt Bone Lane which eventually became Peacon Lane. The A5 house numerator was changed to 116 Grunt Bone and later changed to 316 Peacon Lane. The early Maps identified several small stores on the lane which makes sense given its proximity to the seaport. Today there are two commercial buildings on the corner at Caroline Street. Otherwise, Peacon Lane is known for its quaint single family homes including these below.
316 Peacon Lane would make a great primary residence or second home. Given its location near Duval and the seaport, it would make a great monthly vacation rental as well.
