Original character pairs the period details, creating a home that is both authentic and inviting. Positioned at the entrance to beloved Magnolia Avenue, renowned for its iconic live oak canopy, the property enjoys abundant sunlight, coastal breezes from the nearby Intracoastal and ocean, and a welcoming sense of place. From its classic façade and curb appeal to its spacious, light-filled living areas, this home is designed to be savored.

Designed in an era that celebrated generous proportions and natural light, this 1941 mid-century modern home offers spacious rooms and multiple windows throughout. Rich honey-toned oak hardwood floors run seamlessly from room to room, beautifully complementing the soft cream interior palette. The expansive living room serves as a focal point, complete with classic fireplace, abundant natural light, and ample wall space for showcasing art collections. French doors open to a versatile 15' x 10' flex space - think home office, home gym, media room, art studio, playroom, or additional family room.
