May Street Mid-Century Home

Such a happy house! Welcome to 15 May St where you feel instantly welcome and right at home the moment you cross the threshold. Not your typical mid-century, this one has evolved over the years to become an extremely comfortable and livable place to hang your straw hat. Set back from the street with a sunny deep front yard, your green thumb will be inspired. Large front portico keeps you dry and offers room for potted plants for a burst of color.

Entry foyer is tiled with wainscot on the walls. Original living room is simply lovely – natural light makes the wood floors gleam and the fireplace will be delightful when the seasons change. Owners cleverly turned an under-the-stair closet into a wee library – a great place for books or to display other treasures. Irrepressibly cheerful kitchen is in the center of the house opening to living and Florida rooms for easy flow. 2 or more can easily work together and the center island is ideal for prep and presentation. Laundry room is off the kitchen – a wall cabinet keeps things organized and you can access both the garage and attic (real steps!) from here.

En-suite, the primary bedroom is on the west side. A peaceful retreat with private bath and courtyard. Additional bedrooms are off the living room. Nicely proportioned with large closets, these 2 share the updated hall bath. French doors separate the kitchen from Florida room which is where the owners spend most of their time unless they’re in the garden or puttering in the big garage. 2 walls of windows overlook the backyard. A very generous room, it currently serves as the media room, dining area and office. No matter how you use it, this is bound to become a favorite place to nest.

Fragrant jasmine perfumes the fenced yard where the live oak takes center stage. 2-car garage is accessed from E San Carlos and there’s room for a car in the driveway too. Stroll down San Marco Ave and discover eateries, neat retail, ice cream, book store, flower shop and more. Welcome….
