Own a piece of Orlando history! This 2 bedroom, 1 bath house is an incredible blend of Art Deco and Mid-Century Modern. Built in the 1940s by architect Hayward Shacklett for a prominent banking family, this house was also home to the brilliant and pioneering Brownie Wise, former VP of Tupperware Home Parties. The story of Brownie Wise is a fascinating tale of one woman's perseverance in a business world normally closed to women, which will soon be a major motion picture starring Sandra Bullock. The house is just as amazing as its occupants. Beautiful hardwood walnut floors, original 11-foot tray ceilings, a gorgeous mural painted by the architect, glassed-in Florida room, numerous custom built-in shelving, closets, window seats and all of its original details intact. The bathroom has an incredibly unique tiled shower tub and the Master Bedroom a stunning arched window. The fabulously Art Deco kitchen has tons of counter space, a one car garage boasts a wall of shelving and new high-efficiency washer and dryer, and a breakfast nook off the kitchen is the perfect place to enjoy your coffee with a great view out the curved wall of windows. If all that wasn't enough, the home also has a large pool with a brick paved, screened enclosure, and opens out on to the historic Dubsdread golf course. To top it all off, it's located in College Park, a wonderful neighborhood known for urban living with a small-town charm. If you want your home to be as extraordinary as you are, then this is the place for you!
