Description

Iconic Mid-Century Modern in South Tampa, No Flood Zone, Plant High School District. Own a piece of architectural history in this rare mid-century modern home in the heart of South Tampa, located just minutes from the Westshore Business District and The Tampa International Airport. Positioned on a corner lot, this striking home immediately captures attention with its clean minimalist lines, angular structure, and symmetrical banks of windows that define classic mid-century modern design. The elegant geometry creates timeless curb appeal, enhanced by thoughtful landscaping and a welcoming entry framed by three steps leading to the front door. The attached two-car garage is conveniently tucked to the side of the home, preserving the architectural symmetry and visual impact from the street. Flat planes, crisp white exterior walls, and balanced design elements create a sophisticated exterior that blends beautifully with its surroundings. Two outdoor patios extend the living space and complement the home’s indoor-outdoor design philosophy. Inside, the home continues to showcase signature mid-century modern elements with generous use of porcelain flooring and banks of glass doors that flood the interior with natural light. Floor-to-ceiling sliders open to the patios, creating an effortless connection between indoor and outdoor living and adding to the home’s spacious feel. The kitchen and baths feature granite surfaces, and the kitchen is equipped with a Bosch dishwasher and JennAir refrigerator. Renovated bathrooms reflect modern design and functionality. The primary bathroom includes dual sinks, two shower heads, and a soaking tub, complemented by illuminated glam mirrors. Both bathrooms feature hurricane-impact skylights that bring in additional natural light. Additional interior upgrades include customizable Elfa closet systems and modern floating cabinetry by Hafele. The home also features a smart security system with integrated door locks that can be controlled via panel or smartphone, three interior cameras, and a whole-house alarm system. Even the reclaimed water irrigation system can be operated remotely. The home is topped with a TPO industrial roof. Designed by award-winning architect Rick Rados, who received the Medal of Honor from the Tampa chapter of the American Institute of Architects in 2003, the home reflects design principles inspired by mid-century masters such as Frank Lloyd Wright, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Eero Saarinen, and Charles Gwathmey. Though built in 1986, beyond the traditional mid-century era, the home embodies the movement’s defining characteristics and artistic philosophy. Offering three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and 1,466 square feet of living space, this home feels remarkably open and inviting. Best of all, it is located outside a flood zone, meaning no flood insurance is required. Unique architectural homes like this rarely become available in South Tampa. This one is truly a standout.
