A postmodern mansion painted in vibrant colors was recently listed for sale in Sarasota, Florida. The building features an inimitable style and is considered to be an architectural monument. The architect Don Chappell bought the land plot in 1983 and started building a home for his family, meticulously designing every detail, but died shortly before the end of construction.
The house was completed by his widow in 2000. The previous owner purchased this property in 2005 for only $3.8 million. Now, however, the asking price is $10 million.
The mansion has a floor area of 636 square meters, high ceilings, large windows, six bedrooms, six full-scale bathrooms, a study, and balconies overlooking the swimming pool and the surrounding area. The two wings of the house are connected by an elegant passageway.
The exterior of the house flaunts various shapes and colors without crossing the thin line between flamboyance and gaudiness. The entrance door opens onto a beautifully decorated courtyard that precedes the actual living quarters.
The house’s unique style, curved walls, and other architectural features make it a true masterpiece and a Sarasota landmark, which is likely to increase its value in the long term.
