Welcome to Olivia Cottage. This colorful circa 1899 Historic Conch house sits behind large palms, orchids and a traditional picket fence. Sit on the front porch and watch the famous Key West sunsets or watch as storms brew north over the Gulf of Mexico. The sight lines are amazing and unobstructed for blocks as you sit directly across from the Historic Key West Cemetery. Where you couldn't have quieter neighbors.
