Price Reduction! Paradise awaits you on North Clearwater Beach in this unique mid-century modern home designed and custom built by architect Harry S. Ransom for his parents in 1950. An old article was found from the Tampa Bay Times after its completion which is now displayed in the kitchen. Mr. Ransom studied the works of Franklin Lloyd Wright and designed this one of a kind masterpiece meant to bring the outdoors inside with a true connection to transparency, efficiency, simplicity, and nature. Sunlight filters into this two bedroom, two bath home from the many windows and reminds you that you are just a few blocks from the powdery sands of the Gulf of Mexico. Updated energy efficient appliances, whole-home seller-owned solar panels, and a gas water-heater keep your energy costs at an absolute minimum. The large Living Room is the perfect place to unwind with the focal point centered on an oversized wood-burning fireplace adorned with rare imported Roman brick. Enjoy engineered hardwood floors and amazing towering wood ceilings that continue throughout the home. Custom tall glass slider doors with wood trim separate the Living Room from the Family Room (easy transition to 3rd BEDROOM), which accommodates a breakfast table, desk, bookshelves, and a door that leads you out to a newly pavered patio on the side of the home. The Family Room with its over-sized wood-trimmed sliding door flows into the Dining Room where you will find large built-in cabinets for your china and dishes. Off the kitchen there is a rod iron enclosed nook that would be ideal for a bar, pantry or other creative uses! The Dining Room leads into the Kitchen with its modern appliances, ceiling fan, pantry closet, wood ceilings, and ample cabinetry and countertop space. The large Master Bedroom also enjoys amazing wood ceilings with exposed beams, an en-suite with shower and new vanity, and a built in dresser and shelves. The second bathroom has a tub/shower.
