THE DEFINITION OF PERFECTION
1215 Truman Avenue, Key West | Listing ID 598131

1215 Truman is the definition of perfection. Impeccably renovated, every inch of this house feels soaked in history, melting together conch-style roots with tasteful, high-end upgrades to accommodate any buyer. A grand, open floor plan holds a chef's dream kitchen and a living room facing the tropical landscape and saltwater pool. From the white quartz countertops, Wolf appliances, original wood floors, and Dade County Pine, this brings together the new with the past for craftsmanship and aesthetic elements. The first-floor private primary suite is complete with its own custom walk-in closet and bath. It has wonderful light and a great view of the pool and lush gardens. Attention to detail is around every corner, including the beautiful laundry room! The entire second floor includes two large bedrooms with en suite baths, both which could be used as primary bedrooms. Magic happens when you walk up the sturdy staircase to the third floor, with 5 built-in train-beds, each hosting their very own television, sitting area and full bath. Covered off street parking and completely fenced yard leave no stone unturned. Circa 1900, It has lasted because it has passed through hands that have cared for it, and now it is ready for yours.

HOW MUCH PAINT SHOULD YOU BUY?

Conventional wisdom says that it takes approximately one gallon of paint to cover a room up to 400 square feet, but this is a single-coat estimate is for a small room like a bathroom, according to Glidden.com. But other variables impact how much paint you should buy, such as the size and number of doors to the room, the height of the ceiling, the size and number of windows and whether you have crown molding, wainscotting and other decorative elements. 

Your favorite brand of paint most likely has a rough online calculation tool, such as BenjaminMoore.com, as well as a more detailed estimate. To make sure you have enough, round up to the nearest gallon. That way, you’ll have some leftover paint for touch-ups. If there’s any doubt, confirm the amount by taking your room measurements to your local paint dealer.

There are some circumstances where you’ll need more product. If you’re painting dark walls a lighter color or trying to cover stains or odors, you’ll want to cover the area with a primer before you begin painting. Kilz.com recommends that you use primer to cover everything from permanent marker, graffiti, grease and nicotine stains to stains from water damage, rust or ferrous (iron-based) stains. Severe stains such as those caused by fires, pets, smoke, floods or bodily fluids may require the help of professionals.

Be sure to keep notebook or online record of the color, brand and type of paint you choose
