If one knows anything about the architectural world, then one should have come across the name of Aldo Rossi and his amazing designs. Many are in the hunt for the ultimate Aldo Rossi memorabilia, and now his Florida beach home was just made available for a cool $11.8M. It's more than just a beautiful house in a beachfront property. It's the only known house in America he designed and actually lived in according to a listing description in seasidefl.com.
In a post from realtor.com, Architectural critic Ada Louise Huxtable described Rossi as a "poet who happens to be an architect." She added, his designs had a strong link to the architectural history of the area and flowed seamlessly into the surroundings. This secluded home on the edge of Santa Rosa Beach, FL, is no exception. In addition to the 3,043 square feet of indoor living space, there's 2,693 square feet of outdoor living space.
Aldo Rossi obviously did not spare any expense in building his beach abode. The impressive structure has two levels and there's a covered terrace in the ground floor complete with cooking area and an outdoor shower. But the highlight of the house is the viewing deck with an astounding view of the Gulf of Mexico.
The inside of the house offers a clean and beach like atmosphere with hardwood floors complementing very well with the pristine white paint of the walls. Aldo Rossi himself designed the house so a contemporary kitchen is not a surprise but the quality is downright surreal. Listing agent Rick Moeser said in the same report from realtor.com, "You can tell Rossi put thought into every detail. And it was kept up well and used very gently." The Rossi beach house also comes with two extra open lots in the front which can be sold separately if the lucky buyer chooses to.
