Description
Come discover this Tampa treasure — a rare mid-century modern masterpiece and one of the most significant Florida Art buildings of the 1960s. Designed in 1964 by renowned architect Robert Wielage and recognized by the AIA as one of Tampa Bay’s top 15 architectural landmarks of the era, this walled compound offers an extraordinary blend of art, architecture, and indoor-outdoor living. Conceived to embrace Florida’s subtropical landscape, the residence is constructed of concrete and steel with dramatic floor-to-ceiling glass, creating seamless views of multiple courtyards, lush plantings, and the elevated pool concourse. Enter through Havana-style wrought-iron gates beside a bubbling reflecting pool and step into a breathtaking two-story living room with 20-foot ceilings and an original glass mosaic fireplace—one of the home’s signature design moments. The main level features expansive public spaces with large white porcelain tile floors, a formal dining room with custom built-ins, and a beautifully updated kitchen boasting quartz countertops, brand new custom cabinetry, and an adjacent entertaining bar. A firstfloor bedroom with en-suite bath, plus an additional office/den, offer flexible living options. Upstairs, the private primary suite includes a newly updated bath and an oversized dressing room. Two additional bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath, and a striking ultramodern gym/yoga studio—designed as a true architectural feature—anchors the second wing. Impact-rated Monolithic 9/16" SB70XL Low-E glass was installed throughout, enhancing efficiency and sound performance. Outside, the grounds are simply extraordinary. A 40-foot lap pool, travertine pool concourse, loggia, and a custom slat-wood orchid house create multiple outdoor rooms for entertaining or quiet retreat. The property also includes a gated parking court and an oversized two-car garage with custom doors. A solar system that powers the entire home and newer roof further elevate the home’s modern comforts. Walled on all four sides and set on over ¼ acre, this is a truly exceptional example of Florida-adapted mid-century modern architecture—a residence that inspires a new way of living.
