Tampa Bay home designed by renown architect Carl Abbott hits the market for $6 million

A waterfront home designed by Carl Abbott, who is considered to be the youngest and last member of the Sarasota School of Architecture movement, is now on the market for the first time in Tierra Verde.

Located at 1761 Oceanview Dr., the contemporary residence overlooks Shell Key Preserve and was completed in 1988 for St. Petersburg neurosurgeon Casey Gaines, according to property records.

Featuring 3,935-square-feet, the home comes with a total of three bedrooms and three bathrooms, as well floor-to-ceiling windows, white oak hardwood flooring, high-end appliances, a separate guest suite, a gym, a dock, a lap pool, and a hot tub on the roof.

Still practicing today, Abbott studied at Yale University under Sarasota School of Architecture co-founder Paul Rudolph, who helped cement the region’s legacy as a premier hotbed for architectural modernism.

Abbott is arguably one of the most award-winning architects practicing in Florida and and the Caribbean and is known for his work on quite a few iconic Gulf Coast projects, including the St. Thomas More Catholic Church, The Putterman House, Pine View, the Summerhouse, and the Dolphin House.

This particular Abbott project is asking $6 million, and the listing agents are Liz Heinkel and Michelle Ward of Smith & Associates.
