Last Saturday, the Fort Lauderdale Garden Club in it's "Secret Gardens" tour featured five homes – or gardens and exteriors to be precise, since the homes themselves were not available to the public – three of which were modern homes by beloved local architects, Dan Duckham and Donald Singer.
If viewing only the gardens and none of the interiors sounds a bit like a consolation price, it is. But in the choice between a consolation price or no price at all, it was an easy choice.
The homes, all of which are located in the aptly named Shady Banks neighbourhood and are hardly visible from the street:
 |
| Uchin residence, 3/3.5, 5,071 sf on a 48,300 sf waterfront lot, architect Donald Singer, 1977. |

| Singer residence, 2/2, 2,631 sf on a 14,300 sf lot, architect Donald Singer, 1976. |

| Allen residence, orig. 2/3 single story, later expanded to 4,377 sf, lot 24,200 sf, architect Dan Duckham,1963 |

If you were on the tour or are familiar with these homes, I'd love to hear your impressions!
