Overview

Mid-century modern enthusiasts will fall in love with 25 May Street, where Spanish architectural influence blends seamlessly with the clean lines, craftsmanship, and thoughtful details that define the era. Custom built in 1941 for one of the founding pioneers of the city’s shrimping industry, this residence showcases quality construction, enduring materials, and pride of ownership. Original character pairs the period details, creating a home that is both authentic and inviting. Seller will be replacing the orginal clay tile roof with a new one prior to closing thereby giving new owners peace of mind. Situated 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. Whether you’re drawn to historic homes, Spanish Revival elements, coastal living, or architecturally rich properties, 25 May Street offers a chance to own a distinctive piece of local heritage. 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. Surrounded by windows on three sides, it radiates year-round cheer. The dining room offers effortless connectivity to the main gathering areas, creating a natural flow for entertaining and everyday living. Whether hosting holiday dinners, celebrations, or intimate gatherings, this space comfortably accommodates family and guests alike. The efficient kitchen layout provides flexibility to design your ideal culinary space, with the potential to open it to the dining room for a modern open-concept feel. Original architectural details remain intact, including the charming swinging door that discreetly separates the hallway from the main living areas and a preserved tiled telephone nook — a delightful nod to the home’s 1940s heritage. The Art Deco-inspired bathrooms are true showpieces, featuring bold vintage tilework and rich period colors that capture the glamour and craftsmanship of the era. Three spacious bedrooms provide peaceful retreats, each offering comfortable proportions and natural light. Outdoor living offers dedicated patio seating for grilling and entertaining, ample green space, and room to add a future pool. A large two-car garage with workshop space, combined with an extended driveway, ensures generous parking and storage - ideal for hobbyists, collectors, or multi-vehicle households.
