Description

Designed by architect Nils Schweizer, an apprentice to Frank Lloyd Wright, and later remodeled by architect Kevin Schweizer, this three-bedroom, three-bath mid-century masterpiece invokes a sense of procession, compression, and expansion, with its pedestrian bridge entryway over a flowing water feature, simple rectangular spaces, and expansive bespoke picture windows. The residence blends perfectly into 1.3 acres of native Florida landscaping designed by landscape architect Garth Schweizer, allowing for a rare secluded space right in-town. Inside, natural light fills the home, which is adorned with original custom artwork and furniture designed to complement the architecture. The living room features expansive custom picture windows, a stunning mid-century gas-burning fireplace, and antique hardwood floors. The kitchen is well-equipped with quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, built-in double oven, and induction cooktop. The primary bedroom and custom media room are found on the third level and are open to the living room below and to the view beyond. The primary bathroom offers a luxurious walk-in shower and custom tile work. A full bathroom, utility room, and two carports are located on the lower level, while a one-bedroom, one-bath guest suite lies off the courtyard. Outside, the home is accentuated by the fine, travertine circular driveway with ample parking spaces, flowing water feature lined with native vegetation. The exterior is clad in redwood board and batten siding, complementing the exposed concrete block. This iconic home is a truly one-of-a-kind masterpiece minutes from Stetson University and historical downtown DeLand.
