From the Agent: "Savannah’s premier midcentury-modern residence comes to market for the first time since it was built in 1959. Designed by internationally renowned architect Mark Hampton, the home immediately gained notoriety, appearing in the June 19, 1960 New York Times as one of Architectural Record’s twenty best-designed homes of 1960. This striking glass-and-steel structure has been meticulously renovated over the last four years to enhance the property's enduring appeal while honoring its history. Part of the Sarasota School of Architecture, Hampton designed 5614 Sweetbriar Circle to reflect the principles of that movement. The sprawling 3,640-square-foot home has an open-concept layout, clean lines, and extensive windows."
