Mid-Century Modern home on over 1/2 acre designed by Frank DePasquale! Incidentally, much of the home’s original, phenomenal design was left intact by homeowners who appreciated the structure’s many well-thought-out details. The indoor-outdoor meld plays out in this modern house, which contains 4,200 sf under roof, via a raised, covered patio and a giant wall of glass sliders that creates a river-view lookout area from nearly every room. The master bedroom, too, offers floor-to-ceiling views of the backyard, pool and Hillsborough River on 2 separate walls. The home’s front sports a unique cantilevered porch that jets out from the bottom of the house suspended in air. Its location – situated on the widest part of the Hillsborough River – cannot be replicated. Take a 9-mile cruise to one of the crown-jewel parks in the region, Lettuce Lake. Many islands can be spotted along the way, complete with osprey-nest-topped trees. A new wooden dock w/ lift can house a 20' boat and there's a concrete boat/RV carport. A primary pleasure of living in a mid-century home is the way the separation between indoor and outdoor space is made all but invisible. Even the steps leading to the back patio create a touch of drama and also signal another tip off to the mid-century design: lavish use of organic materials, including block, brick, stucco, and wood. Extras: large bonus room with AC could be an artist’s studio, water-treatment system, upgraded electrical. What’s not to love in this fabulous, lifestyle-enhancing home.
