Ladies and Gentlemen, Start Your Engines!

Ladies and Gentlemen, start your engines! The rare opportunity to own Dale Earnhardt Jr’s iconic residence is now possible. Winning multiple awards for historic preservation and built in the 1850’s, 704 Eaton Street is ideally located in the heart of Old Town, Key West. The home is a tribute to the meticulous preservation by Dale Earnhardt Jr. and interior designer wife Amy, who also curated the furniture included with the sale – and as seen on DYI’s TV series “Renovation Realities: Dale Jr. & Amy.” As Dale Jr. said, “Renovation is an understatement!” Throughout the home impressive details pay homage to its history. The antique newel post is showcased in the foyer while the historic beams are used as striking columns in the kitchen, and the original Baltimore bricks now cover the driveway, adorn the outdoor kitchen backsplash and accent the guest bathroom. From state-of-the-art security and AV systems, Emtek hardware, wide-plank oak floors, and shiplap accent walls to handmade Cuban tile and a sink built from a granite block found during the renovation, every inch of the property highlights the expert craftsmanship and attention to detail. The Chef’s kitchen features copper light fixtures, designer tile backsplash, quartz countertops and induction range. Multiple LaCantina folding doors open seamlessly to the Ipe deck and tropical gardens. Designed for relaxation, the custom pool boasts multiple water features, a splash pad and spa. Expand your outdoor cooking into new realms while sipping perfectly iced drinks with a Blaze hibachi grill, Coyote warming drawers, Perlick refrigerator drawers, Viking pebble ice maker and a Haiku fan. Creative details include an outdoor shower integrating a surfboard painted by the artist who painted Dale Jr’s race cars. Sonos audio, B-Hyve irrigation and Hayward pool automation makes life easy. Rare off-street parking for 2 plus cars, and just steps from the Key West Historic Seaport, and the island’s best restaurants and beaches!
