1 Beals Hammock Ln, Key Largo, FL 33037

Privacy to the max: 1.2 acres of hardwood hammock surrounded by property that will not be built upon in the future. Room for a potter’s shed or a boat and a motor home - with room to spare - you decide. The original 1200sf house is pole construction, a unique hurricane resistant design with no load-bearing walls. Soaring tongue in groove cathedral ceilings, skylights and an open floor plan make it a great space. The house design is called a modified salt box with a second floor loft that can be used as a 2-room suite with a full bath - or Jack/Jill bedrooms and shared bath with tub. There is lots of storage in each room and a pantry/laundry (includes high-end washer and dryer) off the kitchen - which has stainless appliances. The TREX deck is roughly 30x30 with a roofed gazebo and a huge staghorn fern. A home-security system is in place. The 800sf addition, built in 2005, is concrete with hurricane-shelter features (175mph, which is over code requirements) that include wiring for a generator and a separate AC unit. The master bedroom offers an en-suite bath and large walk in closet as well as loft storage and a view of the butterfly garden. There are hurricane shutters for all windows and doors. Green living design includes a cistern, white metal roof and energy saving details (August FKEC bill including AC was under $115) and xeriscape landscaping with a butterfly garden, huge ferns, orchids and bromeliads.
