This is a rare and elegant home that’s rich with history and gracious in its
architectural details. W. Hunt Harris married into the William Curry family
which was one of the oldest and most well known families of Key West and
one of the first families to migrate from the Bahamas in the late 1830’s.
The house is among the few to have been designed and built under the
supervision of a prominent architect from the Carolinas, Frank P. Milburn.
Stately and elegant, the house has high peaked Gothic style roof over
classical Revival portico and four graciously arched bays. The beautiful
arched front door is distinctive and rare in Key West. The current owners
have carefully combined an impeccable restoration with state of the art
amenities, to create comfort along with the splendor of a historic residence.
Large rooms, 13’ ceilings, elegant moldings and hardware, formal living
and dining rooms, custom designed 1500 bottle wine room complete with
its own generator, an outstanding cooks kitchen equipped with all gourmet
appliances, Carrera marble countertops and in-kitchen dining.
The second floor features a glorious master bedroom suite including a
coal burning fireplace, separate dressing room, morning kitchen with
refrigerator, stunning new white marble bathroom with elegant fixtures and
a luxurious glass shower enclosure for two. A private balcony runs the
width of the house, accessible only from the master bedroom. Also on the
second floor is a guest suite with large walk-in closet, sitting room and
beautiful bathroom with steam enclosure and a private balcony for added
island living.
The third floor consists of a third guest suite with custom cabinetry for
storage and office work area, hardwood floors, a new bathroom. The fourth
bedroom has its own bedroom and a walk-in closet.
The custom built wet bar on the rear porch on the ground floor is

There are two beautiful pavilions, one for living and one for dining.
A new guesthouse and pool cabana/gym was constructed in 2007, built to
withstand a category 5 hurricane, complete with generator. The ground
floor gym has a washer/dryer, full bath and outdoor shower, custom
cabinetry with a built-in desk and impact glass doors that disappear into the
walls. Upstairs is a guest room with morning kitchen, entertainment area,
