Overview

Palm Springs soul meets South Tampa prestige. This once-in-a-generation Mid-Century Modern masterpiece is more than a home — it’s a work of art. Spread across an ultra-rare triple lot (125-by-143 feet, .41 acres) in Palma Ceia, this architectural marvel fuses Case Study design principles with Frank Lloyd Wright–inspired detailing, creating an atmosphere of restrained opulence and timeless integrity. Positioned within the triple crown of Tampa’s premier school districts — Plant High School, Coleman Middle and Roosevelt Elementary — this residence offers a lifestyle that is architecturally iconic and educationally unmatched. Behind its iconic façade lies 3,114 square feet of sprawling single-story sophistication, where vintage glamour meets function-forward design. Framed by mature banyan trees and a fully curated butterfly and bird sanctuary, this corner-lot estate is a haven of serenity and privacy. Key features include Palm Springs architectural styling with soaring 13-foot ceilings and dramatic walls of glass, original California redwood trim, terrazzo flooring and a marble foyer entrance, expansive private courtyard and garden oasis wrapped in lush, curated landscaping, multigenerational living wing with private patio, 10-foot ceilings and separate entrance, vintage Mid-Century details like built-in medicine cabinets, noise-resistant ceilings and pocket doors, whole-home audio wired with original Jensen speakers, and enclosed patio/veranda, ideal for cigar lounges or late-night martinis. Extra rooms, The Garden Room, with a floor-to-ceiling glass wall. And the library and a working architectural room! The primary suite is a dreamy, oversized retreat with a courtyard-view expansion opportunity, walk-in closet and a primary bath reminiscent of a retro Hollywood spa. A guest suite with direct patio access and a split floor plan ensures elevated privacy. Outside, your senses will delight in the architectural roofline–integrated carport, impact-rated annex windows and doors, underground utilities, and smart tech integration with coded locks and ADT security. The garden beds are 15–20 feet deep, filled with premium mulch and rare palms, elevated 21 feet above sea level with no flood insurance required. This residence was featured in Inside Out Magazine and offers an unmatched lifestyle of design, elegance, and serenity. Zoning is RS-60 – rare flexibility for enhancements or additions. A dream-worthy South Tampa gem and a collector’s piece. Live architecturally. Live inspired.
