This architectural Gem would be a great…
🏡 Home of the Week: 724 69th Avenue South, St. Petersburg
A Rare Mid-Century “Birdcage” Gem by Glenn Q. Johnson

Tucked away in the lush tranquility of South St. Pete sits one of only 12 surviving Vision-Aire homes in the area designed by architect Glenn Q. Johnson—and this one is a showstopper. Built in 1954, this 3-bedroom, 3-bath architectural treasure is a shining example of Florida-friendly design before the era of air conditioning.

Floor-to-ceiling windows with plant boxes, wide overhangs, and a unique split-level layout work in harmony to invite natural light and cooling breezes inside. Nicknamed the “Birdcage Home”, this residence features two expansive screened porches—one perched like a treehouse retreat and one opening to the oversized fenced lot—perfect for peaceful indoor-outdoor living. With original mid-century details, solid construction, a floating galvanized pipe staircase, a Malme Fireplace and a private guest suite, 724 69th Ave S is more than a home—it’s a piece of living history.
