Property Description
Welcome to 3649 Foster Hill Drive!
This one of a kind home was designed by Lawrence Murray Dixon and is a timeless piece of American architectural history. The renowned architect accredited with the Miami Beach's Art Deco movement, Dixon's work embodies symmetry, softness in geometry and the love for natural light and curvature. After designing over 40 Art Deco hotels, Dixon stepped into residential homes. This 1938 masterpiece is more than a home - it's an experience. A place where design elevates everyday living. The home sits on an oversized elevated lot in the coveted Allendale neighborhood. You enter the home into a grand foyer with vaulted wood beam ceilings, mosaic tile flooring and an original mural painted by George Snow Hill who was a painter, sculptor, and well known muralist. He lived in St. Petersburg, Florida until his death in 1969. His work is extensive and includes murals for 1939 New York World's Fair. This is his only known work to exist in a residence.
From the foyer you have direct eyesight to the living room anchored by an indoor Koi pond and fountain. This living space boasts original flint and cracked Cuban tile, wood burning fireplace and designer lighting. The living room then opens up to an ultimate outdoor living space where you can relax by the pool area with its own kitchen or enjoy an evening fire next to the custom brick and stone chiminea. Meticulously designed with lush landscaping, green spaces, custom exterior lighting and pavers this makes for a lavish private outdoor oasis. This home is an entertainer's dream!
The bedrooms of the home are well appointed for maximum privacy with the primary and ensuite on the north side of the home and the two guest rooms and shared bath on the opposite side. All bedrooms have original parquet flooring and architectural details throughout. Adjacent to the living space is a dining room separated from the cooks kitchen by a classic butlers pantry. The kitchen boasts stainless steel appliances, gas range, custom cabinets, commercial-grade refrigerator and a pass-through to the living room. Beyond the kitchen is a laundry room with custom cabinetry and a full bathroom for those guests enjoying the outdoors as it has direct access to the pool.
As if that wasn't enough, there's more, above the attached two car garage is a spectacular guest suite with private access, vaulted original wood ceilings, hardwood flooring which mirrors the ceiling design, original custom tiled bath and kitchenette, two sets of french doors leading to exterior seating areas where your guests can enjoy soaking in the serenity of this established peaceful neighborhood. If you're looking for luxury coupled with historic architecture and Florida living this is the home for you.
