The Victoria House

This gracious historical property, dating from the early 20^th century, was built by prominent cigar manufacturer, William Otis Johnson.  It is located just two blocks from Duval Street , in the heart of Key West ’s Old Town , within walking distance of restaurants, shops, galleries, museums, theaters, seaports, Atlantic beaches, Gulf sunsets, water sports, and many other Key West attractions.   The harmony, proportion, and scale of its architectural features—crown moldings, arched transoms and windows, multi-light French doors, large six over six windows, high ceilings, and gracious rooms—reflect the elegant lifestyle of early Key West entrepreneurs. Porches, terraces, and decks provide a seamless flow from the lovely interior spaces to the tropical gardens, pool, and spa.  The house is constructed of Dade County pine and is furnished with antique and contemporary furniture, prints, artwork, and Key West memorabilia.

On the first floor of the main house, the spacious living room and dining room open to the covered dining porch, pool, spa and deck.  The new kitchen has granite countertops and top-of-the line stainless steel appliances.  In addition, there is an elegant foyer, an office area with wireless internet, and one full and one half bath.  Up the grand staircase, there is a second-floor sitting area that opens onto the front porch, two large bedrooms, each with en suite baths.  One bedroom opens to the front porch and the other to a large porch on the rear, with spiral staircase to pool and decks below.  The bright third floor has a sitting area, two connecting bedrooms, one full and one half bath, and a terrace that overlooks the pool and garden.  There is a separate poolside guest house with a bedroom and a full bath.  The air conditioned laundry, which includes sink, cabinets, and folding area, is located in a separate building to the left of the pool.

The main house has new central air conditioning and heating, two thermostats, and a sprinkler system on the first  floor.  In the guest house, there is a separate split system air conditioning and heating unit.  Ceiling fans and dimmers for the lights are located throughout.  Televisions and cable access are installed in the living room, dining porch, all bedrooms, and the guest house.  The property has fully-automatic property irrigation and lighting systems.  Off-street parking is located in the brick courtyard behind the white picket fence.  At the end of the day, the luxurious spa and spa fountain offer tranquility and relaxation amid tropical gardens graced by an ancient gumbo limbo tree.
