It’s going to be tough. Being an owner is a difficult job on its own.” Here’s a look inside Earnhardt Jr.’s home.
Front Entrance
It might not look like much, but don’t let the small entrance fool you because there’s a lot more once you enter the home. This is a common look for homes during the time of the Civil War. The architecture in the front is original as well as most of the features inside.ย
Kitchen
As you can see, the kitchen has a modern look, but it also has the pirate themes above. Also, the dishwasher has Earnhardt’s No. 88 decal, which is a nice touch. Along with plug-ins all across the counter, this kitchen has everything one needs to cook a variety of meals.
Living Room
The living room isn’t pirate-themed, but it has a relaxing feel and good for game nights and conversations. With the sliding doors and windows, the living room is a great place to take one’s mind off of everything.ย
Stairway
The stairway has a unique look as it isย netted in between the rails along with the rope-wrapped column. There’s also a painting of an island to once again give the home and topical feel. It’s a good lead-in to the second floor of the home.ย ย
Bedroom
This one of five bedrooms in the house has a modern feel with an old-school look. The fish and seashell by the bed keep up with the island theme, but this is a very traditional-looking bedroom.
Bathroom
One of the four bathrooms in the Key West home, this oasis has enough spaceย to where multiple people can clean up and prepare for the day. With a spacious shower, two sinks and a pirate ship, this bathroom will not go to waste.ย
Pool
Any island/pirate-themed home has to have water, right? This pool doesn’t disappoint as it has enough depth (14 feet) for anybody to explore. The pool is surrounded by a bunch of trees to give it the island feel, so there’s no need to leave the home.ย
