24 Carleton Drive is a large one story dark orange stucco with red barrel tile roof Mediterranean Revival bungalow by architect Martin L. Hampton. It sprawls all over the lot, with a tower effect to the right and a recessed wing to the left. Features include an arched opening for the entry porch, a bell niche over the wing to the left. It is a pleasing house and in good condition. For more about this and the other 1920s homes in Carleton Terrace, see my blog:

2125 MacFarland Drive is a two story taupe stucco Mediterranean Revival house with barrel tile roof, by architect Martin L. Hampton. This house is graced by a low driveway entry wall with curved forms. The house is L shaped and there is an entry patio in the space formed by the L; interesting roof forms include a pent roof over a balcony, curved buttress parapet walls and a dramatic chimney. The house has a one story original garage to the right rear of the property. The large lawn between this property and the next allow good viewing of both of them from the street. The owner of this house had a lovely impromptu conversation with us. He bought the house 34 years ago and has lovlingly restored it all these years. He told us that MacFarland was once the Dixie Highway, and also recounted the sad story about D. P. Davis' demise at sea (see my comment below).

This is on the west shore of the Indian River in Cocoa, Florida. It faces the rising sun and the water, and has a private dock for mooring boats or for fishing in the river. The setting is gorgeous. If you fancy a place where you can step out the front door, stroll down to the water and off you go in your boat, this would be it. By the way, as you look out on to the water, if you turn your head slightly to the left, you can see the Vehicle Assembly Building at the Kennedy Space Center over at Cape Canaveral.

2127 MacFarland Drive is a one story Mediterranean Revival with asymmetric triple arched entry porch and tower effect main front façade. French door, round vent above, corner chimney with arched buttress all add to the charm of this smallish home by famed architect Martin L. Hampton. The current color scheme is perfect and the striped awning is very chic.

2105 MacFarland Drive (at the corner of MacFarland Drive and Coquina Terrace) is grand two story rectangular Mediterranean-meets-Tuscan-Revival yellow stucco with white trim and barrel tile roof house, designed by architect Martin L. Hampton in the mid-1920s. A low, one story entry porch faces Coquina Terrace. French doors and windows predominate throughout the design. The long façade on MacFarland Drive is enlivened by an asymmetric two story chimney, a one story round bay, with arched balcony above, and a recessed entry door. There is a period-original open carport on MacFarland Drive. This is definitely the showplace of the Hampton houses in Indian River Bluffs, and was the home of D. P. Davis' brother M. H. Davis as he oversaw the Carleton Terrace development.
