For the first time on the market, this beloved family home at 147 Gardenia Street invites you to discover a little piece of paradise in Tavernier. Built in 1982 with solid concrete construction, this charming waterfront residence blends enduring quality, tropical beauty, and the unmistakable character of the Florida Keys.
