Secluded, Key West style tree house, nestled among thoughtfully curated tropical and native trees and plants. Home was built by the current owners and has no shortage of completely unique and artistic touches. Have your morning coffee or an evening cocktail surrounded by treetops on the breezy upstairs front porch, which also creates your gorgeous entrance to the home. Inside, the finishes and details are immediately evident with custom concrete countertops, patinated copper wrapped window sills, hand scraped Teak hardwood floors with cypress trimwork and baseboards throughout, one-of-a-kind entertainment center, terrazzo floors poured by the owners and filled with conch shells they brought back from the Bahamas. A true cooks kitchen with a 36" Fisher and Paykel gas range, butcher block and stainless steel surfaced island, and deep stainless steel basin sink. Custom built Cypress solid wood cabinets warm up the tumbled marble tiled walls. Brand new top of the line LG refrigerator and dishwasher installed this year. New LG washer and dryer is conveniently located upstairs. Downstairs is the great room with two banks of large, pocketing sliders that completely open up to the wrap around, porch with tongue and groove ceilings, overlooking the backyard. What was once a vacant lot with nothing but an old Camphor tree on it, is now a dreamy, made-for-entertaining, oasis with thoughtfully planted tropical palms and native plants swirling around every corner of this epic property. All which are vibrantly lit up at sunset by a timed landscape lighting system. Entertain friends this winter next to a crackly fire in the cozy sunken fire pit, while grilling in the new, custom outdoor kitchen. Pool plans and recent quote are available upon request.
