Price: $4,700,000

Footprint: 2,875 square feet (3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms)

Lot size: 0.22 acres

From the agent:  "Here’s a rare opportunity to own the famed Butterfly House in the coveted Lake Park community. The residence is named for its dramatic inverted roofline. This midcentury-modern gem is replete with thoughtful elements and a distinct aesthetic that blends beauty and function. The entryway welcomes guests into a spectacular art gallery. Designed with intention by architect Andrea Clark Brown and rebuilt by Connor & Gaskins Unlimited, the utmost attention has been given to every detail."

The original client for this three-bed, three-bath home in the Lake Park neighborhood of Naples, Florida, was an art collector. After she purchased the 1960s Butterfly House, she tapped architect Andrea Clark Brown for renovations. Though the termite-infested residence would need to be torn down, the redesign stays true to the midcentury spirit while providing plenty of gallery space.
