Revered writer Judy Blume has listed her Key West Florida getaway for $4.25 million. The listing for the property describes the home as one of the finest mid-century modern residences in the area. The Casa Marina is a stunning walled oasis that features elegant indoor and outdoor areas.
Upon entering the gate, one will find a tropical paradise of mature gardens. There is also a 45-foot swimming pool that has fountains and loggias which were designed by renowned landscape architect Raymond Jungles. It was said that every room in the residence opens to the outdoor living areas.
The main house features a spacious living room, dining room and custom kitchen which all open to the luscious gardens. The master bedroom opens to the pool area on one side, and the other opens to a private walled garden. The master bathroom also opens to the dramatic outdoor shower which is surrounded by beautiful gardens.
There is a guest bedroom, a second bathroom and a study to complete the rooms in the main house. There is also a guest house that has two spacious bedroom suites, each with its own bathroom and study. The surrounding gardens provide privacy for the main house and the guest house.
The outdoor living area is also a great place for relaxation and entertaining guests. The total space of the residence is 3,500 square feet.
According to Realtor, the place was featured in Architectural Digest back in 2010 when Blume and her husband, George Cooper, shared the results of the renovations that they did on the house. She revealed in the interview that she is a "householic" and she always "love to create a new nest."
Blume wrote several coming-of-age novels such as "Are You There God? and It's Me, Margaret." Her recent bestseller is "In the Unlikely Event."
