Shark Key Listing

I'd like to take few minutes to brag on my Shark Key Listing. Check out: www.12cannonroyal.com for more information.

This property is as solid and charming today as it was when it was first constructed. The same owners that built it, live there today which is a testament to the entire Shark Key community. Multi-million dollar homes owned by wealthy, upstanding citizens of our community live on this island and their property values have refused to buckle. While the $1.5+ Million Dollar portion of the real estate market has slowed, it's hard to find a property that has sold for less in this neighborhood.

More about the home itself: This outstanding waterfront 2-level CBS in Shark Key, a private, gated community in the lower Florida Keys, boasts stunning views of the Gulf of Mexico. Over 3,000 square feet of natural stone imported from Spain cover the floors, which by design have an open layout that will literally take your breathe away. Each living area seamlessly transitions to open lanais with unobstructed views of open water.

Designed to work in concert with the environment, the house is fully protected against the hazards of wind, water and weather. A solar powered hot water heater works in conjunction with energy efficient appliances, multi-zoned air conditioning complements rows of sliding glass doors and a cistern water collection system cooperates with landscaped irrigation. The concrete pillars raise the home above storm surges and the surrounding protected mangroves. With all of the windows open, ocean breezes easily circulate throughout making for ultimate comfortable relaxation.

The outside landscaping has been as meticulously kept as the inside of the home. Blooming flowers, lush vegetation and winding walkways blend harmoniously with native Florida Keys wildlife as they wind to the boat dock. There are no deep water canals on Shark Key, so only a small skiff can make use of this dock.

The entire property was designed by Thomas E. Pope, P.A., an award winning architect in Key West, and built by Brooks Thomas of Pinewood Construction in Big Pine Key, Florida. Master contractors completed the home in 1999 where the current owners have resided since.
