An Amazing Mid-Century Modern Experience | House in Winter Haven
4 Bedroom House in Winter Haven
Welcome to The Gene Leedy House, the life-long residence of iconic architect, Gene Leedy. A founding member of the Sarasota School of Architecture, Gene moved to Winter Haven, FL in 1954 and began to leave his mark on the small, citrus town, now known to locals as “Leedy Land”. One of his first projects, which would later be historically recognized as the “Craney Spec Homes”, consisted of eleven mid-century modern homes built on a crest between an existing Grapefruit grove and Lake Elbert. At the time, Gene’s modern design was deemed radical for its use of open floor plans, lack of ornamentation, exposed framing, sliding glass doors used as walls, and use of common, “honest” materials in uncommon ways. These elements, which are now commonplace in modern design, helped establish Gene and the Sarasota School of Architecture’s lasting legacy on modern architecture and explains why he occupied the home for over sixty years.
After Gene’s passing in 2019, the residence was purchased by architect and long-time family friend, Max Strang. Max, who spent many of his younger years visiting the house, realized the opportunity to honor his former mentor and restore the residence back to its previous state. While the property has undergone many changes, Max’s vision for the property was to not only rehabilitate, but restore many of the elements that were present in the original design. While some new touches have been made, you’ll find even more original elements restored, including most of the iconic furniture that’s been in the home for over sixty years.
This listing represents a truly unique opportunity to stay in the home of one of Florida’s most revered modern architects. Please note that this home was originally built in 1957 and is on the National Historic Register. Guests are encouraged to take this under consideration before booking this home.
The home features two separate “wings”. The Main Wing is comprised of the Living Room, Dining Area, Kitchen, Bar/Library and two bedrooms. The Main Bedroom suite features a bedroom, attached office, bathroom and courtyard patios. There is another small bedroom with a bathroom across the hall.
The North Wing is located across the courtyard and functions well as a private suite with a bedroom, bathroom and lounge. The lounge has a sofa bed and can be closed off to be used as a private bedroom if needed.
