Description

Ralph Twitchell’s Lu Andrews House #2 — An Icon of Mid-Century Modernism, Thoughtfully Reimagined Step into Sarasota’s architectural legacy with this one-of-a-kind residence designed in 1941 by Ralph Twitchell, the visionary behind the Sarasota School of Architecture. Originally crafted for his secretary Lu Andrews, this historic home represents the first known use of stacked concrete block in residential construction—a true innovation of its time. Located in the highly sought-after Indian Beach neighborhood and perched outside of the flood zone sitting at 16.5 feet, 904 Virginia Drive blends historic character with modern luxury across 1920 square feet of inspired living space. The home was masterfully expanded in 2009 by renowned architect James Bowen, AIA. In 2024, upgrades, including a new 2-car garage and an extended foyer entrance, as well as a third bathroom were added to complement the original design while enhancing everyday function. Inside, you'll find a thoughtfully curated blend of mid-century elements and contemporary finishes. 3 bedrooms, including a stunning primary suite with views of the resort-style pool and gardens. Expansive great room with 16’ ceilings, wide overhangs, and walls of glass echoing the iconic Sarasota School style. Large tiled floor throughout, commercial-grade sliders, and smart power window shades. A chef’s kitchen with Caesarstone countertops, gas cooktop, and a large island perfect for entertaining. Indoor-outdoor flow leading to a private pool with a marble deck and cascading waterfall. Other notable features include: 2021 HVAC system, alarm system and LED European lighting, whole house water filtration, on-demand tankless water heater, additional storage and landscape lighting with irrigation. Located just steps from Sarasota Bay and minutes from Downtown, St. Armands Circle, the Ringling Museum, and Lido Beach, this residence offers architectural prestige with an unbeatable lifestyle location. This is more than a home—it’s a piece of Sarasota’s architectural soul
