Sarasota School of Architecture built by Ralph Twitchell authentic to its original design. This 1959 quintessential mid-century modern gem offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of architectural history. Originally known as The Lu Andrews III Residence, the home has been featured in many notable books (Sarasota Modern) and articles.

Sliding glass doors lead to the screened lanai with sunken built-in planters - a perfect retreat to enjoy the lush, natural Florida setting and tranquil pond. Skylights throughout flood the home with natural light, creating an expansive and inviting atmosphere. Original terrazzo flooring, stainless steel counters and built-in cabinetry reflect the craftmanship of the era and complement the modern aesthetic of the home. The property offers ample space in the front yard for adding a pool or an additional structure, allowing for customization and expansion. Separate stackable laundry accessed by carport.
