Move-In, Make It Yours, or Modernize- This Vision-Aire Is Ready for Its Next Chapter. Opportunity knocks! Priced to allow the next owner to bring their vision to life! With its rare original condition preserved, this iconic "Birdcage" home offers the perfect canvas: update and modernize to your taste, or embrace the timeless mid-century charm exactly as it is. Solid construction. Signature design. Unmatched potential. This is your chance to own a true architectural piece of St. Pete history. One of only 12 of these Still Standing in this neighborhood! This rare mid-century architectural work of art is a stunning 3-bedroom, 3-bath Vision-Aire home, designed by renowned architect Glenn Q. Johnson in 1954. Drawing inspiration from dwellings he observed during a World War II tour in the Philippines, Johnson aimed to create homes that harmonized with Florida's semi-tropical environment. What does that looks like? The Split-Level Layout with windows and sliders from floor to ceiling on 2 sides of the home are designed to capture natural breezes and light. The expansive screened porches (Birdcages!) give access to outdoor living…indoors! SOLID CONSTRUCTION: Concrete Block on the first level and the bottom floor of the upper level provides durability and energy efficiency. This architectural masterpiece provides Indoor-Outdoor Living at Its Best. This home offers 1,495 square feet of heated indoor living space. But that's just the beginning! Thanks to the home’s signature screened porches—including the upper-level treehouse-style retreat and the lower-level open-air lounge—you’ll enjoy approximately 2,831 square feet of living space. The Upper-Level Screened Porch is a private Birdcage retreat, perfect for morning coffee or unwinding with nature. The Lower-Level Screened Porch and Open Porch flow out to the private fenced lot (82 x 132…a big lot!) Modern-day living spaces create great flow and flexibility! The 2 Bedrooms and 2 Baths upstairs include one Bedroom/Bath ensuite and another large Bedroom (11x21) with more birdcage views with windows across the entire wall. The Kitchen (gas cooking) provides tons of counter space and cabinets with a passthrough to the separate Dining Room. The Living Room is surrounded by windows but has a cozy fireplace, so you feel like you are “snuggling outdoors”! The Private Guest Suite on Ground Floor: 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom with separate entry—ideal for visitors, in-laws, or a home office. The guest Suite also has it’s own screened porch to enjoy the peace, nature and privacy of the large lot. A 2-car carport with built in cabinets on two sides also has covered access into the home. Other Original Mid-Century Details include the wood burning Malm fireplace, tongue-and-groove cedar ceilings ( at least 3.5 inches thick?), awning windows that open on to attached window planting boxes, floating galvanized pipe staircase with open treads and terrazzo flooring. This architectural gem is more than a home, it’s an architectural work of art. AND you're just around the corner from Bay Vista Park, one of South St. Pete’s hidden gems! With direct water access, a community fishing pier, shaded picnic areas, and a fun playground, Bay Vista Park offers a perfect blend of nature, recreation, and relaxation — all just steps from your front door. Don’t miss this chance to own a true piece of Florida history in one of St. Petersburg’s most sought after neighborhoods! This home is marked SAFE from hurricane Helene and Milton!
