Description

Welcome to 215 Whitehead Street, a captivating Mediterranean Revival home that artfully blends historic charm with sophisticated updates in one of Old Town Key West's most iconic locations. Once the beloved residence of Burt and Hazel Burnett, the property carries a rich legacy. Burt Burnett, a renowned artist, actor, and passionate supporter of the local theatre scene, infused the home with a creative energy that still resonates today. Tucked behind a classic wooden picket fence, the home makes a striking impression with its arched colonnades, stucco exterior, and vaulted wood-beam ceilings. Inside, curated finishes include custom wood cabinetry, granite countertops, vintage tile flooring, and three beautifully renovated bathrooms. Historic details such as decorative ventilation blocks and original architectural elements blend seamlessly with modern comforts. he private backyard is a true tropical sanctuary, featuring a resort-style pool and waterfall crafted by the acclaimed Lucas Lagoons. Completed in 2022, the outdoor space includes a porcelain deck, lush landscaping, and ambient lighting—ideal for both entertaining and peaceful retreat. Meticulously maintained, the property features a new 200-amp electrical service, professional wiring for pool equipment, new metal roof, zoned split A/C units, and bricked driveways that enhance its timeless appeal. Just steps from world-class dining, galleries, and Key West's vibrant cultural scene, 215 Whitehead Street is more than a residence—it's a rare opportunity to own a piece of island history, reimagined with elevated, resort-style living in mind.
