Get your bongos out for this true Modernist home! Butterfly roof-Check. Open floorplan-Check. Many windows-Check. Very cool 50's ranch designed by Modernist Architect John Latimer, a family friend. Latimer also designed the remodel in '68,turning the original carport into a bedroom suite for the teenage son,bringing a new carport forward, and turning what was the sun room into the paneled, windowed loveliness it is today. No simple knotty pine paneling here!Luscious cherry paneling walls are in the entry, kitchen, dining, comfy seating area and sun room. Very functional kitchen has original cherry cabinets and stand-alone copper vent hood. Two of the bedrooms are ensuite and can function as owners' bedroom--you choose! The middle bedroom, currently used as an office, has a glass window onlooking the sunroom-lower the roman shades for privacy-easy. Front BR opens to a private lanai and the bath was beautifully renovated. Back BR features pearwood ceiling panels, pearwood bookshelves, desk/writing/study nook and organized walk-in closet. Sellers have made so many improvements to the home-all catalogued in Documents.
