1614 Washington Street, Key West

Architect-designed and purpose-built for modern island living, 1614 Washington Street delivers a rare combination of durability, intelligence, and refined restraint. This is a luxury home defined not by excess, but by performance, longevity, and thoughtful design. Constructed with solid masonry, impact-rated windows and doors, and positioned above flood elevation, the home offers a level of resilience and peace of mind increasingly sought in today's coastal market. Materials and systems were selected for low maintenance and long-term reliability, creating a residence that is as practical as it is elegant. The home reflects the work of award-winning local architect Matthew Stratton, whose projects have been featured in Architectural Digest and Coastal Living. It is designed with a philosophy centered on efficiency, foresight, and long-term coastal performance. Energy independence is integral to the design. A solar infrastructure paired with Tesla battery storage supports uninterrupted power, and a quieter, more secure lifestyle--an elevated approach to sustainability that enhances daily living rather than complicating it. The interior floor plan is owner-forward and highly livable. The primary suite is located on the main level, offering privacy and ease. At the same time, three additional en-suite guest bedrooms are intentionally arranged around a den/lounge space on the second level, ideal for extended stays or visiting guests. Finishes include porcelain tile flooring, quartz surfaces, custom cabinetry, and high ceilings that bring light and volume throughout. Outdoor living is private and well-defined. A two-tiered pool with a splash deck and water features anchors the backyard, surrounded by mature tropical landscaping that creates a true island retreat. At its core, 1614 Washington is not about excess; it's about intelligence. A fortress when needed, a retreat when desired, and a design-forward home whose value is revealed in daily living, not just on paper.
