Description

Architect-designed by David Leete and built by master builder Henry B. Baker in 1958 as his personal family residence, this home is a remarkable example of true Mid-Century Modern architecture, thoughtfully crafted with custom features and many original details still beautifully preserved. Situated in the charming El Pino Parque neighborhood, known for its unique architecture and Old Florida character, this beachside home has a personality all its own. Just a short stroll from the beach, it offers the perfect blend of coastal living and architectural significance. As you enter through the polished Tennessee stone foyer, natural light pours in from the skylight above, creating a bright and welcoming first impression. The two spacious living areas feature beautiful solid oak floors and create an open, airy floor plan filled with natural light. The large living room offers flexibility and could easily be converted into a guest room, home office, or sunroom. The dining room and kitchen retain their original polished terrazzo floors, while both bathrooms showcase their original ceramic tile, preserving the home's authentic mid-century charm. Upstairs, you'll find two generously sized bedrooms designed for comfort and privacy. Adding to its appeal, the property sits high and dry on an elevated lot and is not within a designated flood zone. A rare opportunity to own an architecturally significant Mid-Century Modern home in one of the area's most distinctive beachside neighborhoods, where classic design, craftsmanship, and Old Florida charm come together just moments from the sand and surf to create a truly special residence.
