Surrendering to its rich and memorable history, the Bacheller-Brewer Model Home Estate captures the essence of the Suncoast, exuding both historical magnitude and modern amenities. Located in the prestigious Avondale community, this distinguished 1926 Mediterranean Revival residence has acclaimed the honorable designation of the National Register of Historic Places.

1903-lincoln-drive-exterior-mediumGraciously sited along the gentle waters of the Hudson Bayou, this exceptional residence respectfully reveres its history and the significance of its architecture, embracing the captivating heritage of the estate, while at the same time enduring a cautious and meticulous renovation to incorporate an extensive list of contemporary conveniences along with an expansion of the main house. A timeless show home, originally designed by Thomas Reed Martin as a model for the Bacheller-Brewer Corporation for the then named Avondale Heights subdivision, and recently renovated under the skillful hands of architect William Thorning Little and luxury home builder Murray Homes resulting in an enthralling example of timeless design, focusing on waterfront living where the structure relinquishes itself to its tropical setting.

Elegantly blending old with new it is almost impossible to distinguish the recent addition. Pecky cypress detailing, hardwood flooring and hand painted antique tiles flow throughout providing elegant reminders of the homes enchanting history, while state-of-the-art Lutron lighting systems, automated shades, professional gourmet appliances, Waterworks fixtures, Kinetico water purification, and Rinnai hot water system provide convenient modern amenities.

A sophisticated repetition of barrel vaults with cypress wood beams grace the ceiling as hand distressed antique finished cabinetry wrap the perimeter, and herringbone Saltillo tiles are dramatically set in a traditional herringbone pattern to complete the rooms decorative floor. Professional grade appliances and exotic granite provide elegant yet functional statements as the expansive custom painted island sits in brilliant contrast. A stunning groin vault visually designates the adjoining breakfast room, where additional storage is provided through glass front custom cabinetry.

Three wrought iron gates provide access to the meandering grounds, main residence and guest house. Thoughtfully designed the main house includes four suites, four and a half baths, an eight hundred bottle temperature controlled wine cellar, expansive family room with fully-equipped bar and automated roll-down projection screen, and luxurious master suite featuring an extraordinary walk-in closet and marble appointed bath including a steam shower with purified water fountain and Kohler spa tub. The guest house is a surprising nine hundred square feet with a full kitchen and two baths.
