Unique Architect-Designed Home with Stunning Views in Gulf Breeze Proper
Nestled in the heart of Gulf Breeze Proper, Santa Rosa County, this one-of-a-kind residence offers breathtaking views of Pensacola Bay and the iconic 3-Mile Bridge. Inspired by the architectural genius of Frank Lloyd Wright, this distinctive home was designed by Darrell Fleeger, an internationally renowned architect.
Fleeger, a University of Florida graduate and former chief designer for the Catholic Diocese of South Florida, poured his visionary expertise into creating this stunning property. His portfolio includes luxury homes in cities such as Toronto, Winnipeg, Zurich, and Italy, as well as major projects like the University of Miami School of Engineering and First Federal Savings and Loan in Miami. Fleeger’s work is celebrated for its seamless blend of form and function, and this home is a perfect example of his artistic mastery.
Built in 1972 on one of the largest lots in the neighborhood (0.849 acres), this beautifully updated 5-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom home offers 6,289 sqft of living space. The open-concept floor plan features spacious living and family rooms with large windows and balconies that flood the home with natural light. The modern kitchen is equipped with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and ample storage. The master suite, located on the 3rd floor, boasts an enormous walk-in closet, a luxurious en-suite bathroom, and an office, all with spectacular views of the bay. An additional bedroom suite on the 3rd floor offers a full-size bathroom and walk-in closet.
Among the home’s many standout features are a massive stone fireplace in the family room and kitchen, an elevator providing access to all three floors, a 2-car garage, and a whole-house natural gas-powered generator. The interior and exterior are adorned with rare Wormy Mahogany wood, sourced from the South American Amazon, and Georgia stone, lending the home its truly unique mid-century modern aesthetic.
