The year was 1962. President John F. Kennedy set the goal of landing a man on the moon before the end of the decade. AM radio was playing folk music from Bob Dylan, surfing music from the Beach Boys and the Beatles just recorded "Love Me Do". This same year, 1962, Scholz Homes built this beautiful custom "Mark 60" designer home in a brand new development called Town and River, on a 148' wide direct access canal, just 6 lots off the famed Caloosahatchee River. Don Scholz designs were world renowned, featured in every national home magazine for their excellence. This home was lived in by the original resident for 53 years, until her passing in late 2015. Heirs are now selling this "time machine." Although it could use some select updating, opening the front door you'll feel you've gone back to 1962, with vaulted ceilings, brick construction, a glass wall and designs unique to the 60's. The asking price for this home is just a little more than the bare lot value, so it could be "a tear down". Better yet...put a 1962 Corvette in the garage and enjoy living in this unique direct access waterfront home, for a fraction of the price of the million dollar homes all around you. :-)
