Once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! own a rare vision-aire “birdcage” home! one of only 12 of these still standing in this neighborhood! step into a rare mid-century architectural work of art with this stunning 3-bedroom, 3-bath vision-aire home, designed by renowned architect glenn q. johnson in 1954. drawing inspiration from dwellings he observed during a world war ii tour in the philippines, johnson aimed to create homes that harmonized with florida's semi-tropical environment. what does that looks like? the split-level layout with windows and sliders from floor to ceiling on 2 sides of the home are designed to capture natural breezes and light. the expansive screened porches (birdcages!) give access to outdoor living…indoors! solid construction: concrete block on the first level and the bottom floor of the upper level provides durability and energy efficiency. this architectural masterpiece provides indoor-outdoor living at its best. the upper-level screened porch is a private birdcage retreat, perfect for morning coffee or unwinding with nature. the lower-level screened porch and open porch flow out to the private fenced lot (82 x 132…a big lot!) modern-day living spaces create great flow and flexibility! the 2 bedrooms and 2 baths upstairs include one bedroom/bath ensuite and another large bedroom (11x21) with more birdcage views with windows across the entire wall. the kitchen (gas cooking) provides tons of counter space and cabinets with a passthrough to the separate dining room. the living room is surrounded by windows but has a cozy fireplace, so you feel like you are “snuggling outdoors”! the private guest suite on ground floor: 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom with separate entry—ideal for visitors, in-laws, or a home office. the guest suite also has it’s own screened porch to enjoy the peace, nature and privacy of the large lot. a 2-car carport with built in cabinets on two sides also has covered access into the home. other original mid-century details include the wood burning malm fireplace, tongue-and-groove cedar ceilings ( at least 3.5 inches thick?), awning windows that open on to attached window planting boxes, floating galvanized pipe staircase with open treads and terrazzo flooring. this architectural gem is more than a home, it’s an architectural work of art. don’t miss this chance to own a true piece of florida history in one of st. petersburg’s most sought after neighborhoods!
