This 1956 gem was designed by Ralph Spencer Twitchell, a key figure in the Sarasota School of Architecture.
Recently renovated, this 1956 residence in Fort Myers, Florida, was designed by architect Ralph Spencer Twitchell, one of the founding members of the Sarasota School of Architecture. Measuring 2,377 square feet, the home features three bedrooms, two-and-a-half baths, and direct canal access.
A bright orange door pops against the homeâs dark gray exterior. A perforated block pattern defines a portion of the privacy wall toward the left.
Thick vegetation bordering the perimeter of the property creates a lush, secluded setting for the midcentury, which was treated to a top-down renovation in 2018. French Oak hardwood floors were incorporated throughout the interior, as well as new hurricane-impact windows and doors. The roof was also replaced, along with all of the light fixtures and the dual-zone air conditioning systems.
