From the street, a slim house clad in glass block accents almost seems to send a message in
From the beach, the Treasure Island, FL, home’s glass terraces and walls are built to maximize its dreamy Gulf of Mexico views. The stark white color throughout the house showcases the blue waters out back.
Known appropriately as the Glass Block Home, the residence was built in 1994 by architect Daniel Thayer Dawson. The intriguing 2,158-square-foot abode is on the market for $3.8 million.
From the front, the glass blocks resemble a series of glyphs. Although their message isn’t entirely clear, the statement created by the well-laid blocks gives the home an otherworldly vibe.
It sits on a peninsula with the Gulf on one side and Blind Pass on the other. Downtown St. Petersburg, FL, is less than a half-hour away.
The staircase stands out.
