“As long humans continue to think for themselves, they will design housing which is unsterotyped.” That’s what the Tampa Tribune real estate editor George Knight wrote to describe this great home by local architect Rick J. Rados in December of 1966. “The theme of this house is essentially seclusion from the babble of the city.” Both statements ring true today. This Beach Park home has been wonderfully restored and updated while keeping the original architecture in place. Rare black-on-black terrazzo floors throughout the entire home have been restored. Updated kitchen and bathrooms and a brand new air conditioning are just a few of the many updates. Every room of the home has been thought out with placement of natural light. The back of the house has a huge bank of windows that give you a great view of the two huge oak trees and patio space. There is also an original custom 90-foot shed that matches the home. Super clean finishes throughout. New mulch and landscaping that goes with the home. A Jack and Jill bathroom connects the two secondary bedrooms while the master bathroom can also double as a half bath in the hallway for guests. You essentially walk along the length of the house to get in the front door which gives way to the airy living room kitchen combo with grand views of the back yard. The kitchen is recently updated and has great counter space. Great original concrete work all around the exterior of the home and fence gives you the same tranquil feel that Rados designed for his family in 1966.
