This five-bedroom, five-and-a-half-bath estate is a celebration of authenticity and modern luxury. Every detail, from the extensive use of original Dade County Pine to the rich ipe decking that frames the outdoor living spaces with warmth and durability, reflects reverence for the past while embracing the ease of contemporary living. All impact-rated windows and doors provide peace of mind without compromising historic character. At the heart of the property, a brand-new heated pool anchors the tropical grounds, creating a private resort atmosphere designed for both quiet retreat and elegant entertaining. Complementing the main residence is a newly constructed pool cottage, offering exceptional flexibility for guests, extended family, or a private studio, an increasingly rare luxury on the island. Bathed in natural light, the interiors flow effortlessly between intimate and expansive spaces, blurring the boundary between indoors and out. Each bedroom suite is thoughtfully appointed, providing comfort, privacy, and a sense of timeless refinement throughout. This home holds a deeper significance as well. It is among the final projects of beloved Key West interior designer Michael Pelkey, whose influence helped define the island's aesthetic for decades. His unmistakable touch is present in every layer of the design: restrained yet soulful, luxurious yet deeply rooted in place. To own this residence is to steward a piece of Key West design history.1230 South Street offers effortless access to beaches, dining, and cultural landmarks while remaining a private sanctuary unto itself. More than a renovation, it is a statement. And one of the most compelling residential offerings to grace the island in a generation.
