About this home
Hidden away on one of Old Town's most storied streets, 1016 Varela St. Rear is the kind of Key West address that feels like a private discovery.
Originally constructed in the 1920s, this piece of living Key West history has been thoughtfully renovated while honoring the character that only a century of island life can impart.
Tucked discreetly behind the street, the fully restored 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom residence offers a rare sense of seclusion in the heart of historic Old Town -- without sacrificing a single step of the legendary walkability that defines this neighborhood. Duval Street, world-class dining, the harbor, and the full tapestry of Key West life are all moments away on foot.
Arrive home to a covered front porch -- the quintessential Key West perch for morning coffee or evening cocktails. Inside, soaring cathedral ceilings flood the living spaces with light and volume, while refinished hardwood floors, an updated kitchen, and impact windows throughout speak to a renovation done with care and intention. The private rear yard offers room for a pool, a rare opportunity to create your own tropical retreat in the heart of Old Town. A separate upstairs apartment with its own private entrance offers exceptional flexibility: a sanctuary for a young adult, an elegant in-law suite, or an income-producing rental that helps carry the property.
For the discerning buyer, two details stand above the rest: 1016 Varela Rear sits in an X flood zone -- the premier flood designation in the Keys, carrying no flood insurance requirement -- and the property carries an assumable VA loan, a remarkable financial advantage for qualified buyers in today's market.
In Old Town Key West, a century-old home with this much flexibility and this little compromise is extraordinarily rare.
Welcome to your hidden corner of paradise....
