Sold
Mid-century modern home by architect Don Singer, with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2-car garage and pool. Approx. 2487* sf under air (ca. 220 sqm) on a 12,003 sf lot, built in 1976.
Modernist architect Don Singer designed this wonderful residence for his friend Dick Wheeler, surrounded by several other modernist homes by Singer and his contemporary Dan Duckham. Located in the aptly named Shady Banks neighborhood, it is very quiet, but only a few miles to the beach and downtown Fort Lauderdale, minutes to I-95 and the Tri-Rail, bringing Miami or Palm Beach in easy reach.
The home is an unusual find: for its price but even more so for its well-kept, undisturbed and unaltered condition – no French-country-style kitchen or misguided bathroom renovations here.
From the quiet residential street, the house is barely visible; it sits on a double lot surrounded by many mature oak trees. It is accessed through a west-facing, fully fenced and very private front yard by the front gate – original Singer-design – or through the large two-car garage.
The architect thoughtfully also placed the pool on the west side; large fenestration from private (master bedroom) and public areas (kitchen and living room) allow pool views and access.
Inside, three bedrooms and two bathrooms are grouped to the left, while the public areas are to the right of the entrance, with beautiful light flooding in through generous glazing on all sides. Even minor details remain original but in good condition, such as the lighting throughout, the scissor hinges in the kitchen or the copper flashing on the roof. All rooms also have their original stone or tile flooring and the concrete block so typical for Singer, Duckham or Reed. The owners just completed a pre-sale inspection of the home. (*Square footage per tax records, 2,174 sf per prior appraisal.)
