Property Description

The Frank House -- a.k.a. Case Study House #25 -- is a groundbreaking and historical achievement in residential design from internationally renowned architecture firm Killingsworth, Brady, Smith & Associates. Situated on Rivo Alto Canal in Naples, this modern masterpiece is approached by a pathway of steppingstones over a reflecting pool and is entered through a dramatic 17 foot high front door that reveals a two-story interior courtyard with views into the adjacent living room and dining room downstairs, and master bedroom and study upstairs. Most of the interior living areas look out to the courtyard through walls of glass, providing the experience of indoor/outdoor living without the compromise of privacy. Both the living room and master bedroom also have sweeping views of adjacent Naples Canal, which is an aquatic haven for boaters, kayakers, paddle boarders and swimmers (40 foot private boat dock is included with the property). This exceptional residence is at once elegant and relaxed, and it reflects the timeless brilliance of Ed Killingsworth’s mastery of scale, light and proportion. The Frank House is widely considered to be one of the finest achievements of the midcentury modern era, and it has been meticulously maintained by its current owners.
