About this home

Here is the one you’ve been waiting for. .. a spectacular mid century modern beach house on Venice Island, designed by world-renowned Sarasota School Architect Ralph Twitchell in 1953. The Hudson House, constructed of Ocala block in a ‘stacked bond’ pattern, has been featured in Andrew Weaving’s stunning book, Sarasota Modern and frequently highlighted on architectural tours. Not just a house, this home is an experience: sliding glass walls lead to private tropical courtyards, while screened panels offer the cool beach breeze. The playful connection with sunlight and the natural world can be enjoyed from every room, and just 7 houses away is the beach of the Gulf of Mexico. Meticulously maintained, the house offers two master bedrooms each with their own ensuite, the larger of which also has a bonus room with a closet which can be used as an office, studio or nursery. Nestled in a quiet, walkable neighborhood of tall tree canopy, you are only a few blocks from the farmers’ market, sidewalk cafes and shops of historic downtown Venice, designed by Master Planner and Landscape Architect John Nolen in the early 1920s. The HVAC system was replaced in 2018, the roof recoated in 2019, and the block sealed in the Spring of 2020. Original plans and a survey are available.

This is the architectural gem you have been waiting for, an iconic Florida mid-century modern beach house, just seven doors from the Gulf Of Mexico. Designed by Ralph Twitchell (1953), this historic Sarasota School of Architecture home is featured in the book, Sarasota Modern by Andrew Weaving (pp 110-123). The combination of beautiful polished terrazzo floors, sliding walls of glass, stacked Ocala block privacy walls and lush, tropical gardens create a thrilling sense of light, warmth and harmony with nature that changes throughout the day. There are two master bedrooms, en-suite, plus a small third bedroom 15.5'x7.5' accessible from the biggest master. It is currently used as an artist's studio, but could also be a nice home office or nursery. The neighborhood is historic and charming, with hidden pocket parks and a nice, walkable scale. It was designed and built in the 1920s by John Nolen, the American Master Landscape Architect and City Planner. Downtown Venice is just a few blocks away and has lovely restaurants, live music and quaint shops. You can go fishing, boating, enjoy several area beaches or ride bikes on special trails nearby. This property is not in a flood zone and there is room for a pool. A survey is available for your kind review.
