Description

Once in a lifetime opportunity to Restore a One-of-A-Kind Ben Baldwin Mid-Century Modern home. Architect and Designer Ben Baldwin was recognized internationally as the leading force in the Modern Movement of American Design and Architecture. Over the years he collaborated with I.M. Pei designing among others, the New York studio of Adolph Gottlieb. 3721 Flamingo Ave was Mr. Baldwin's winter home. Mr. Baldwin sought to integrate form, scale, space and light into natural settings of tranquil gardens and waterways. The home has 14 glass sliders, each with views of bamboo, exotic palms, buttonwood and oak trees, as well as stunning waterfront views of the Lagoon. This 11,458 sq. ft. corner lot offers enhanced privacy and is surrounded by lush tropical landscaping with serene views of the Lagoon/Canal which provides easy access to Bay/Harbor. The existing 3,021 sq. ft home was flooded and remediated after Hurricane Helene, yet needs total restoration of the interior. The existent concrete block home is stable and unaffected and awaits an interior remodel. This Ben Baldwin home is being sold “As-Is".
