This grand home was built in 1951 and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places this last decade. Architect Ernest Stidoff designed the approximately seven thousand square foot home. The house is an excellent example of the coastal architectural style, with its second-floor entry and living areas, wide front porch, and detailed exterior woodwork. It also includes decorative elements that harken back to the colonial era. The exceptional quality of its construction explains its strength today. Its mechanical features were the most up-to-date of the era, including a chiller-style central air conditioning system, rare anywhere in Florida at the time.
The home is unique in that it retains many of its original elements. Homes of this era were often “updated” during the decades immediately following its construction. The tile work and lavatory fixtures, including a multi-jet shower system, are almost entirely original. The kitchen appliances, including a commercial-style hood and six burner stove, remain in the home in working order. The woodwork and hardware, including several paneled rooms, are as they were when the house was built. The downstairs recreation room’s fireplace reflects the distinctive style of the era.
