About this property
Tropical painter and writer retreat
A beautiful tropical 2 bedroom and 1 bathroom home in quiet and lovely Jensen Beach. This sunny retreat on a lush tropical property with Coconut palms, Banyan trees and a beautiful Bamboo birdhouse garden is a 2 block walk from the intercostal waterway and a 7 minute drive to great ocean beaches.
The 2 bedroom house was built in 1958 in a mid-century modern style. The well appointed master bedroom has a king size bed with high end bedding in a tropical style. The room is furnished in a design style that features dark tropical rattan furniture and tropical paintings. The bathroom has a full size shower and no bathtub. The 2nd bedroom is furnished with 2 twin beds. The living room continues the tropical design theme with key retro pieces of traditional Florida rattan furniture from the 1960's. The kitchen is equipped with a modern smooth surface electric range, microwave, toaster and toaster oven, Kurig coffee system, and a built in dishwasher.
This mid-century modern house is a well appointed artist retreat that is used by Billie Jo Thomson as a painter's retreat. Billie's paintings adorn the walls and the art is constantly changing. One signature piece was created for and used in the Tim Burton film, "Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children".
The house is located in Jensen Beach, a jewel of Old Florida traditions and styles. The beaches are beautiful and range from very accessible with life guards on duty 7 days a week to more secluded private quiet retreats.
Downtown Stuart is a 5 minute drive and is another jewel of Old Florida with a quaint main street in the traditional Worth Avenue in Palm Beach. With over 20 world class restaurants in a 3 block area, the nights are full of pleasant, friendly Florida entertainment.
