1400 JULIE LAGOON Lutz, FL 33549

What a treasure! A true mid-century modern house with a unique design nestled in a cul-de-sac in Julie Lagoon with 120ft frontage on skiable Lake Hanna. Oh, and the property is also a peninsula that has water surrounding it on two other sides. Built in 1967 by renowned architect and artist Chuck Fager, you will first notice the concrete hyperbolic paraboloid roof structure/design that constitutes an effective drainage system when it rains, insulates the home and creates an incredibly strong structure.
Upon entering, you will quickly realize why you’ll want this home. The Lake views are expansive from every room. The 1st floor is an open design with a large kitchen (casual dining area, built-in desk and pantry closets), dining room, and living room that stretch across the home. The other end of the home has a large bathroom of which half was once used as a formal darkroom for photography. Finally leading you into a large bedroom/office suite. Here you’ll note the area where Mr Fager and his wife Marilynn created some of their most famous work. The open suspended stairway made from incredibly sturdy Yellow Pine Heartwood were once used as floor joists at the iconic Tampa Terrace Hotel. These wide stairs lead you upward to the master bedroom suite, two other bedrooms and a bath. Each bedroom has sliding doors that open to a catwalk that extends along the exterior of the second floor. Just walk outside your bedroom sliders and enjoy nature and beautiful sunsets as the home faces directly west over Lake Hanna.
Other features of the home include a gracious back deck with a built-in grill, a dock, a kayak launch, boat launch and a carport made of a freestanding concrete hyperbolic paraboloid. A workshop/storage area which once contained a walk-in pottery kiln where Charles Fager created his porcelain masterpiece ‘Thinking About Self-Portraits’ on display at the Smithsonian American Art Museum. Yet another room which includes the Kinetico water purification system and whole-house UV water sterilization for the home. There is even a partially covered front patio for parties, hobbies or even to store your ski boat. Whether it’s crafts or just keeping cool while watching others play sports on the large yard, there’s plenty or area for play. A new lighting system throughout the home also allows the owners to choose any color they want from 16 million colors -- rose, blue or bright white, the Hue lighting system are seen and enjoyed by neighbors all around the Lake. What fun!! This home is in the Lutz area near to USF, various hospitals, and has easy access to main road arteries and is only 20 minutes to Downtown Tampa. Note, this home has a well and septic tank. Be sure to watch the Matterport as well as the video to get a full idea of this incredible one-of-kind home.
