Rest easy: vision has already applied itself to this house. An astute eye transformed this 1940s structure into an airy, modern, open-format house, designed to showcase the lush foliage that surrounds this unique retreat. Spectacular landscaping by Craig Reynolds fringes the fasade, drawing a curtain of tropical flora around the property and sheltering it from everything but sunlight. With sculptural genius, Reynolds also designed the pool and its waterfalls, which feature like kinetic works of art to enjoy from the large, covered outdoor living space (when you're not watching sports on the outdoor TV). Finesse and good taste abound in this home, predominately white and bright, but with the surprise of charming boudoir wallpaper in the bathrooms to complement glossy black tile.

Supplements: The two en suite master bedrooms can open up and join the flow or be sealed off for quiet and privacy. The upstairs, half-story master bedroom is enclosed by a system of French doors and includes a walk-in shower with a panoramic window looking over the treetops. The first-floor master bedroom opens to the rear deck, with access to a pleasant outdoor shower. This house is cheerful, stylish, smart and comfortable. It tucks you into itself for privacy, with everything you need for lush and relaxing Key West living.
