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 (intact) glass sliders, each with views of bamboo, exotic palms, buttonwood and oak trees, as well as stunning and pristine waterfront views of the Lagoon. A symphony of light enhances the interiors of the home with spacious skylights. The existent garage was homeowner's professional photographer's DarkRoom. Since it has water, electric and ac, can easily be converted into a guest or mother-in-law suite, albeit tiny. The 11,458 sq. ft. corner lot offers enhanced privacy and is surrounded by lush tropical landscaping with serene and unparalleled views of the Lagoon/Canal which provides easy access to the Bay and the Intercostal waterways. The existing 3,321 sq. ft home was flooded and remediated after Hurricane Helene. It needs a restoration of the first floor interior. The second floor is firm. Roofs are firm with additional 5 to 15 years of coverage. The existent concrete block home is stable and unaffected awaiting an interior remodel. This Ben Baldwin home is being sold “As-Is". The private corner lot spans 11,458 sq. ft, providing ample space to restore or recreate your own ideal luxurious estate.This home was recently featured in Key Life Magazine https:/www.yourobserver.com/news/2024/feb/01/owners-siesta-home-preserve-modern-lineage/
