He was known for being one of the founders of painting with a palette knife in the 1950’s because, in his own words, he “discovered that a palette knife can do things a brush cannot do”. Some of his works that were created for the annual Gasparilla Event are being considered to be featured in the “Tampa Bay History Center”, and owners of his pieces include the Wrigley family of Wrigley Field & past owners of The Chicago Cubs, amongst others. Select paintings you see left on display in the house are available for purchase or negotiation as part of the sale of the house.
Charles chose to live here due to the house's natural light and openness, along with the neighborhood’s tranquility, which allowed his creative higher faculties to flow. It is truly a unique house. The spacious kitchen that overlooks the expansive living room has high vaulted ceilings, plenty of light with its many windows, and wraparound sliding glass doors that lead to the outdoor deck space, complete with a fire pit and tall concrete walls for ultimate privacy. Zero lot line, for minimal grounds-maintenance. The master retreat is upstairs and has its own terrace overlooking the magnificent corner-lot view of the street and surrounding million-dollar+ houses. The second bedroom is on the first floor and makes for a great office or guest bedroom. The house features a one-car garage with an additional three oversized exterior parking spots in the driveway. The full A/C system was replaced in 2021. Long-Lasting Tile Roof.
A final note on the area: The Bayshore Beautiful area of South Tampa is one of the hottest urban areas in Tampa Bay due to its high "walk score". It’s known for its locally-owned restaurants, parks, and artsy shops, where you'll find the neighborhood streets being a combination of fully renovated historic homes and brand new homes built on the valuable land, while being surrounded by luxury waterfront properties on Hillsborough Bay to the east and Old Tampa Bay to the west. The house is just minutes to Midtown, Downtown Tampa, Tampa International Airport, Ybor City, and so much more! Also, South Tampa has its own bridge direct to St Pete with all its own beaches & fun, under 30 mins away!
Come see for yourself today why you may want to make "The Inspirational House" your very own work of art, adding your own touches to this canvas... Art lasts forever, but this opportunity won't!
