Property Description
🌴 Secret Garden Cottage in the Heart of Old Town 🌴 Tucked inside a quiet, gated enclave on Watson Street, this charming 2-bedroom, 1-bath cottage offers a rare blend of serenity and walkable Key West living. Grocery stores, favorite restaurants, Bayview Park, Higgs Beach, the Historic Seaport, and Duval Street are all nearby—most days you can bike or walk everywhere and barely use your car. Enter through the gate and follow a palm-lined brick path to a shared secret garden oasis, surrounded by lush landscaping, orchids, colorful blooms, and tranquil water features. By night, the softly lit pathways transform the property into a peaceful, magical retreat. Inside, the home feels like a warm embrace—cozy yet spacious, intimate yet open. Vaulted open-beam ceilings and natural light enhance the inviting living space, while the updated kitchen features quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, custom cabinetry, and a sunny nook overlooking the pool and gardens. The bathroom retains its classic charm, adding to the cottage's authentic island character. Enjoy easy living with a private patio, keyless touchpad entry, a quiet setting and a sense of community that often turns neighbors into friends. The shared heated pool and spa invite impromptu happy hours—or quiet relaxation. Join in or keep to yourself. This is Key West living at its most effortless. A hidden gem that is truly unexpected, in a secluded tropical oasis. Your secret escape. Come see it for yourself.
