This beautiful MCM home has a distinctive U shape. Wings embrace a screened outdoor living room that's open top and side, but shielded from flanking houses. Two bedrooms, plus living-dining area, open to attractive garden court, via sliding glass doors. House isn't large, but it enjoys luxury of separate sleeping areas - one for children, one for parents. Parents' side has a skylighted bath and private dressing room.
House size: 38x60 ft, without carport | 1.250 sq.ft., not including court
Architect: Edward J. Seibert, A.I.A., Sarasota, Florida
Decorator: Phill Hall, Sarasota, Florida
Builder: Thyne and Swain, South Gate, Florida
Carport up front becomes a planned, pleasant part of this home. Stepped-down roof between carport and house formes canopy to front door. Simple construction is apparent here: post and beam frame, stucco walls and flat, built-up roof. Note how the bedroom windows enhance end wall when combined with wood panels and ventilating louvers.
