MID-CENTURY MODERN WITH WATER VIEW

A mid-century modern gem with a twist: classic 50s architecture, generous rooms with a floor plan that worked then and works now, abundant windows inviting light indoors, colorful vintage bathrooms and ridiculously solid masonry construction with brick facing. The breeze off the nearby ICW ruffles the palm trees in front and the private backyard will take your breath away. If your only experience with the vernacular is “Mad Men,” come experience the real thing – you will be delighted you did.

Presiding from its “golden mile” location just two blocks from the Bridge of Lions and imbued with a sunny disposition, you can’t help smiling when you arrive. After your green thumb checks out the brick planters hugging the house, step inside and check out the very cool interior with sunshine streaming in from all the new windows everywhere. Kitchen is straight ahead and keeps on going out to the amazing oasis out back – parties will be many and frequent. Living room and family/dining room run front to back and offer generous space to use as you want. Catch a view of the ICW and its welcome breeze from the front rooms and lush greenery from the back ones.

Sleeping quarters are off the ell-shaped hall with a vintage green bathroom shared by the two front bedrooms. Two hall closets add more storage and the 2nd bedroom is a big one so don’t worry about making things fit – it’s handled. En-suite, the master is privately located at the end and the corner windows look out over the patio.

Boasting one of the largest yards in Davis Shores, it’s an outdoor paradise with room to host a pro football game, build a guesthouse and a workshop, install a pool and garden to your heart’s content. The patio and fire-pit will not lack for friends and family who’ll want to join you as often as you’ll let them. Fully fenced, the four-legged family members will love it here. The single-car garage has storage space up front and conditioned space in back – a perfect “cave.” X marks the spot!
