Description

Welcome to 156 Sea Lane, a residence that stands as a testament to architectural integrity and the vibrant history of the Florida Keys. This home was conceived and brought to life by its original owner, the legendary Reese Palley, who envisioned a sanctuary that combined the permanence of a fortress with the soul of an adventurer. Unlike the standard construction found throughout the islands, 156 Sea Lane was built with a commitment to durability and ''over engineered'' by structural and civil engineer Joel Roseblatt for safety. Palley played an active, hands on role in its design and construction, ensuring the home could withstand the elements of the Keys for generations. Concrete Reinforced Block (CBS): The skeleton of the home is high strength concrete masonry, reinforced to provide a rock solid foundation. Hollow Core Construction: Rarely seen in residential builds, the use of hollow core concrete slabs for the floors and the roof provides extraordinary structural spans, superior fire resistance, and incredible thermal mass. A ''Forever'' Home: The result is a structure with 3,672 sq. ft. under roof that offers a level of quietude and security that is increasingly rare, serving as a peaceful bunker against the tropical elements. To own this home is to share in the legacy of Palley an author, art dealer, world class sailor, and one of the most colorful intellectuals to ever call the Florida Keys home. Before settling on Geiger Key, he gained international fame as a premier art dealer. A man of the sea, Reese circumnavigated the globe and authored over 15 books, including ''The Answer', 'Unlikely Passages'', CONCRETE: A 7,000 Year History'. Palley resided here until just before his passing at 94 in 2015, at which point the current owners took up the mantle of stewardship for this extraordinary property. 156 Sea Lane is more than a house; it is a piece of the Florida Keys' intellectual and architectural heritage.
