Like any lived in, family home, built in the 1950s, this home has character. The house is designed to highlight two features: 1. The indoor-outdoor living experience: Everything about the design is to facilitate seamless movement between the inside spaces and the outside spaces, and a nice flow of air throughout the house. 2. Highlight the art. I've been collecting art from all over the world for nearly 50 years. There are oils, acrylics, water colors, lithographs, numbered prints, sculptures, and primitive pieces from Africa, Asia, Europe, South America, Central America, Cuba, and of course U.S. based artists from all genres.
