He built his family this mid century beauty in 1957. The architectural details rival some of the most elegant homes of that era in Sarasota. The main home has soaring beamed ceilings and generous room sizes. There is a caged pool steps from the home and even an aviary that could also be re-screened or could be used as a gazebo for entertaining. There is a workshop just beyond the carport.
