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!
