House is the legacy of Frederic Clay Bartlett's visions and talent
which translated his years of exposure to the arts and architecture of
Europe into a native Floridian house. Built in 1920, Mr. Bartlett's personal
interpretation of a plantation house was designed to promote a gracious
indoor-outdoor lifestyle filtered by coastal breezes from the Atlantic
Ocean and to express his sense of whimsey with decorative delight. The
life and love shared at Bonnet House radiates from within the artistry
of the home and tranquility of its thirty-five acre setting. Bonnet House,
named after the yellow water lily that once grew in the property's marshland,
exemplifies the lives of the families who owned the property for nearly
a century.
Approximately 35-acre subtropical, historical estate featuring uniquely decorated
rooms, tropical birds, and live monkeys.
"A 35-acre oasis in the heart of the beach area, this subtropical estate
is a tribute to the history of Old South Florida. The charming home was the
winter residence of the late Frederic and Evelyn Bartlett, artists whose
personal touches and small surprises are evident throughout. Whether you're
interested in architecture, artwork, or the natural environment, this is
a special place. Be on the lookout for playful monkeys swinging from trees,
a source of amusement at even some of the most solemn outdoor weddings on
the grounds. " - FODORS
