About this home
Mid-Century Modern Masterpiece
2 BR / 2 BA | Architecturally Significant Waterfront Estate
First time on the market for this piece of living architectural history. Nestled within Oviedo’s peaceful and highly coveted Mead Manor neighborhood, this is a rare 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom waterfront estate that transcends conventional real estate.
Described as the design he was “most proud of,” this home by the prolific regional architect Harry Cline Merritt, Jr. (1929-2016) represents the pinnacle of Mid-Century Modern residential design in Florida. Educated at the Harvard Graduate School of Design under the influence of icons Walter Gropius, Paul Rudolph, and Gene Leedy, Professor Merritt went on to shape the architectural landscape of the state. Evaluated by the Florida Division of Historical Resources as potentially eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places, this bespoke home is a certified masterpiece featured in the University of Florida’s historic preservation publications.
Unlike speculative tract housing, this two-story architectural gem with its panoramic floor to ceiling windows, large, enclosed courtyard, and unobstructed views of the property’s rare and largely untouched “0ld Florida” landscape, harkens the magical feeling of living in a treehouse, while offering an intimate, highly curated architectural experience.
*Signature Merritt Authorship: Features Merritt’s hallmark Ocala block construction and custom detailing, seamlessly marrying organic structural integrity with artistic design. Locally sourced cypress interior features including kitchen cabinets and a custom cherry wood dining table.
*Integration of Indoor & Outdoor Living: Site-specific planning incorporates expansive glazing (floor-to-ceiling glass) that floods the home with natural light and frames uninterrupted, panoramic views of the tree canopy.
*Climate-Responsive Design: Engineered with mid-century climate-responsive features that naturally complement the Florida atmosphere.
*Impeccable Stewardship: Lovingly cared for through the years as a single-family home, the current, second-generation owners have executed thoughtful updates and system-level improvements, preserved the home's functional integrity, while safeguarded its historic and ecological soul.
Situated on a tranquil lakeside lot in Mead Manor, you are surrounded by mature natural beauty while remaining minutes from the heart of Oviedo in Seminole County., with easy access to the Orlando International Airport, Theme Parks, and world class medical care. In addition, Seminole County is home to the University of Central Florida, and is centrally located within the State providing easy access to major interstate travel routes I4 / I95 / I75
With market demand for Merritt-designed homes firmly established—and comparable properties like Gainesville’s National Register-listed Weil-Cassisi House commanding million-dollar valuations—the Hodgin Residence represents a rare category of historic value and investment that conventional appraisal metrics simply cannot fully capture.
A trophy property for the Mid-Century Modern purist, design enthusiast, or buyer seeking an authentic “Old Florida” lakeside sanctuary. Own a documented piece of Florida's architectural legacy. Updated electric, newer AC, HW heater, 2017 roof, new insulated garage door. This home is awaiting the discerning buyer with an appreciation for architectural and ecological preservation....
