Butterfly HOUSE BLENDS BEAUTY AND FUNCTION



 

A ONE-OF-A-KIND RESIDENTIAL offering known as the Butterfly House has entered the market for $4.7 million. At 1111 12th St. N. in the desirable

Lake Park community, this midcentury modern gem is replete with thoughtful elements and a distinct aesthetic that blends beauty and function.

Designed by award-winning Naples architect Andrea Clark Brown and reconstructed by Connor & Gaskins Unlimited in 2018, the house was originally built in the 1960s and has many midcentury modern influences, from the unique roofline to clerestory windows bringing in an abundance of natural light to the main living area.

Guests are welcomed into a carefully curated gallery showcasing a dazzling display of art. Blending artistry and practicality, bespoke elements and fine craftsmanship provide the perfect canvas for a personal collection within the home’s elegant sun-soaked interior.

Exceptional appointments include a thoughtfully detailed galley kitchen, an indoor-outdoor shower, and a private courtyard.

 

Framed by full glass doors, the primary suite opens into a peaceful garden. The outdoor sanctuary, complete with a fireplace, water feature, and stunning pool perched along the shore of the lake, leads to a separate, two-bedroom guesthouse with views of the water. The property is equipped with an electric car charging station.

Beautiful beaches and charming shops along Fifth Avenue South are just a mile from this private retreat.

Named for its dramatic inverted roofline, Butterfly House was one of only four homes from the United States at the Venice Architecture Biennale in 2021. It is marketed exclusively by Roberta Zimmerman of Premier Sotheby’s International Realty.

“This architectural gem is a true masterpiece designed with intention in every detail, highlighted by artistic flair and an array of modern amenities,” Ms. Zimmerman says. “It presents a rare opportunity to own a private sanctuary in one of the most sought-after areas in Naples just moments from downtown and the beach.” ¦
