This one of a kind, cozy 2 bedroom 1 full bath, Key West canal front home with a Siesta flair was built by a world renowned artist as his home and studio and is located in the new upscale private waterfront gated community of Sunset Harbor on Cow Key Channel.
Great attention was giving to detail and space utilization. Enter the property through a gate from the off street parking, onto a terracotta walkway through a lush, tropical garden, passing through a dining area, with giant hibiscus trees, banana trees, frog and fish pond, a sitting/hammock area to the left and an art studio on the right. Then either taking the walkway through the side courtyard which leads to the canal or enter the home through the living room, with built in bookshelves and TV. To the right is the custom kitchen, with new cabinets with fluorescent lighting underneath, all new appliances, tile counters and back splash, a nice walk in pantry and a view of the north canal and pool from the kitchen window. Both master bedrooms and bath are down the hall from the living room. First master to the left has his & her closets and built in TV. In between the bedrooms is the custom built full bath with tiled shower. Main master is at the end of the hall and also has built in his & hers closets, computer desk and TV. This room could also make a nice office or sitting room/den. Through its glass sliders is the slate sitting deck on the canal. To the left and four steps down, you will enter the outdoor kitchen also overlooking the canal with built in refrigerator and microwave, gas and electric grills. Space for your boat on the 35 foot seawall in this very weather protected canal which gives you instant access to the Gulf of Mexico or the Atlantic Ocean, only two canals with this kind of access exist in Key West. 12 x 25 courtyard. With terracotta pavers, a fish pond with waterfall, patio furniture, torches and dozens of Mailbu lights, it makes it perfect for relaxing, entertaining and cook outs.

Private Gated Community
This one of a kind unique canal front home sits on an estimated $1.3 million lot that you lease, just like condos. At present time the land and canal lease is $984.33 a month. Boat slips in Key West rent for more than that. The best thing about this home although remodeled and converted into a home, is it’s still considered a mobile home by the tax law, because the chassis underneath wasn't removed. Taxes were $52.00 this year. A note about hurricanes: This home has withstood over fifty years of hurricanes with no damage, even before all the upgrades. In 2005 Hurricane Wilma had the highest water surge level in Key West’s recorded history. The water did not reach into the house. The conversions and remodeling were not due to hurricane repairs. It was to upgrade the home to what this eccentric artist wanted, like a sculpture, it's like living in one of his paintings!
