Active with Contract. This redevelopment project should be considered as "new construction", per Florida Building Code. Although the original structure may have been a 1957 Zimmerman designed western style ranch it is now entirely new. The main house has asplit plan with 3 bedrooms, 3 baths and a central living area with vaulted, beamed ceilings of exposed tongue in groove, cypress. A wood burning fireplace anchors one end of the "great room" while a completely new, contemporary kitchen anchors the other. The master suite has a walk-in closet, dual sink vanity, vaulted ceiling, clerestory windows and a double set of glass doors opening up to a magical, subtropical environment. Each of the other two bedrooms (one 'en suite) have private patios and outdoor enclaves as this house is designed to be an integral part of the landscape. In fact, the continuing inspiration for this project has not only been based on the original architects, but Cliff May's vision. May, considered to be the "father of the ranch" once stated: "If you can't walk out of the living room or bedroom or kitchen on to the ground, if you have to go down steps, why you're not living like a real (Floridian) lives from the house to the patio..." Other unique features include a large rearporch which opens up beyond the fireplace under a vaulted roof, concrete floors, a separate in-law cottage with a full bathroom and a new, two car garage accessed from the rear of the property. Green features, storm hardened and a real must see.
