A stunning beachside property that’s unique and beautiful

BY TERRY SCHMIDA

If you’ve been searching for a secluded beachside property, one you can enjoy year round and possibly rent out occasionally, look no further: This house is waiting for you to breathe in its spectacular sunset views over open water.

Rarely found these days, this fantastic gated property at 60 Pelican Rd. is located on a huge 1.03 acre lot (44,867 square feet) at Mile Marker 58 on Grassy Key, close to the marina. It features a gorgeous white sand beach dotted with shady palms and indigenous hardwood hammock trees and shrubbery.

The house has all the charm and character of an older home, but a renovation in recent years has brought it completely up to date. In 1999 a second floor was added to increase the living space. Tasteful changes to the interior of the home included an updated kitchen and baths, granite counter tops, excellent appliances, custom cabinets, vaulted ceilings, glowing wood floors in the bedrooms and quality tile floors in other areas. Many extras were added, like elegant Georgian fan windows, palm leaf ceiling fans, and a ramp for easy wheel chair and stroller access. Purchase of some of the elegant furnishings is negotiable.

With just the right balance of elegance and informality, this lovely house was designed for comfort and convenience, making it the perfect home for casual living and entertaining. The interior of the house has 1,725 square feet, including a spacious eat-in kitchen, three bedrooms and three full baths. With its classic updated Keys styling and direct open water beach frontage, it features a fishing dock, a volleyball court, private gazebo, balcony, porch, breezeway, and those inimitable open water views. All the structures on the property have been situated to take advantage of the Keys’ prevalent trade winds.

With good-size closets indoors, and cupboard space outside off the covered breezeway, storage is never a problem. As a rental property, the home has a good history, with a lucrative income. As a plus, it is not far from shopping areas in Marathon, and has restaurants and bars nearby. The home is less than 1/4 mile from the Dolphin Research Center, and close to bars, restaurants, and the neighborhood marina.

This unique property has it all! Whether your idea of bliss is to collapse in a hammock with a drink and watch the sun go down or count the stars, to sit on a fishing dock casting for the “big one,” to canoe around the area, or just go on a hike enjoying the natural beauty of the Keys, you’ll find the answer to your dreams right here. There are very few properties like this left anywhere in Monroe County .

This property must be seen to be appreciated. It is priced right at $1,426,000.
