Reports surfaced late last week that country music singing sensation, Kenny Chesney, plans to sell his newly purchased Key West home.
Apparently, Chesney made the decision after reading about the sale and the exact address of the home in the Keynoter. Chesney is quoted as saying, “It’s funny how you can be moving out before you even move in. I may have been naïve to think I could just go down to the Keys and disappear, because that was the idea. I wanted to find a place where I could just be and thought I’d found it. But with all the buzz since we signed the papers, the last think I want to do to some place I love as much as Key West is change the dynamics, especially for the locals who have been so good to me, so I’m stopping the insanity before it begins. The ‘for sale’ sign is back up, and I’m just not going to be able to take possession of the house.”
The home, which is the W. Hunt Harris House at 425 Caroline Street, was built in 1898. Chesney paid $5.7 million for the 5 bedroom, 7.5 bath home that sprawls 7,000 square feet. The home has a gym, wine room, guest house and swimming pool. The new asking price for the home is $6.495 million.
