1958 BOB BROWARD DESIGNED MID-CENTURY MODERN HOUSE FOR SALE:

$325,000 - 531 FATIO LANE, ORANGE PARK, FLORIDA 32073

RESTORED BY A REGISTERED ARCHITECT, THIS PROPERTY IS A 4/2, 2000 SF UNDER AIR WITH NEW ROOF, NEW 16 SEER AC, NEW ELECTRICAL 200A PANEL AND MAIN/METER, STRUCTURAL REPAIRS, RESTORED ORIGINAL TERRAZZO, AND CAREFULLY RESTORED / RENOVATED BATHS AND KITCHEN. THE CURRENT CONFIGURATION OF THE HOUSE IS CLOSER TO BROWARD'S VISION THAN THE CONFIGURATION IN WHICH THE ORIGINAL FAMILY LIVED IN THE HOUSE FOR OVER 60 YEARS.

WITHIN A MILE OF TOWN HALL AND MINUTES FROM US17 AND I-295, THE LAUREL GROVE SUBDIVISION WAS THE MOST SIGNIFICANT MID-CENTURY DEVELOPMENT IN THE AREA, BOASTING SOME 30+ HOUSES DESIGNED BY BOB BROWARD AND BUILT BY HALL ENTERPRISES. IN THE 70'S AFTER HIS STINT AS A P.O.W., THE LATE SENATOR JOHN MCCAIN LIVED JUST TWO DOORS DOWN FROM THIS HOUSE WHILE TRAINING PILOTS AT THE NAVAL AIR STATION. THIS HOUSE WAS DESIGNED WITH SLIGHT ADAPTIONS FROM BROWARD'S PROTOTYPE "C" IN ORDER TO ACCOMMODATE A BURGEONING MILITARY FAMILY WITH 7 CHILDREN. A SINGULAR DESIGN, WHEREIN THE BEDROOM WING IS ABLE TO BE CLOSED OFF FROM THE LIVING WING OF THE HOUSE, THE MAIN SCHEME IS THE TRANSPARENCY AND CENTRAL COMMAND OF THE KITCHEN, ALONG WITH A LINEAR CONFIGURATION OF 4 BEDROOMS WITH AMPLE STORAGE SPACE AND LOADS OF NATURAL EASTERN LIGHT; PERFECT FOR EARLY MORNING RISERS.

FROM FRONT YARD TO BACK LOT LINE, OVER 200' DEEP, THE PROPERTY IS LARGER THAN THE AVERAGE LOT SIZE IN THE AREA AT A DIMENSION OF ROUGHLY 93' FRONTAGE X 210' DEPTH. NEW LANDSCAPING FENCES ACCENTUATE THE MID CENTURY ETHOS OF THIS HOUSE WHILE PROVIDING A SCREEN FROM THE STREET AND A SENSE OF PRIVACY.

FATIO LANE IS A FAMILY-FRIENDLY BLAST FROM THE PAST: A QUIET CUL-DE-SAC WHERE CHILDREN PLAY, BEAUTY IS VALUED, BUTTERFLIES ARE CULTIVATED AND NEIGHBORS ARE NEIGHBORS. IT IS ALSO PART OF A FUTURE HISTORIC DISTRICT THAT WILL CONTINUE TO APPRECIATE IN VALUE AND HISTORICITY.
