Mid-Century Makeover
Beach Front Mid-Century Makeover
The beach is my therapy. The sound of the surf crashing against the shore and the beauty of the horizon where the sky meets the ocean soothe my soul. I love the feel of the sand in my toes as I walk along God's beautiful creation. I can't believe that I get to call the beach my yard and the ocean my swimming pool. Tim and I fell in love with the mid-century modern house nestled atop a dune in Ponte Vedra. The house was designed by Robert Broward and was built in 1988. In an effort to update and make the house our own, we are doing a complete renovation while keeping the integrity of Broward's design. Join us as we experience the ups, downs and excitement of our renovation.
Architect
The house was designed by Robert Broward. According to an article on Jacksonville.com, Broward was a protege of Frank Lloyd Wright. Our home is featured in the article, however, it is mis-identified in the photograph. It is actually the Klein/Kelly residence, not the Dake residence.
