Mid-century enthusiasts and preservationists--this is your rare opportunity to own and restore a true mid-century modern gem. Though the architect remains unknown, this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home is an architectural masterpiece, hitting the market for the first time in 40 years. Nestled on a quiet cul-de-sac near Ruth Hardy Park and the Movie Colony, its striking curb appeal features clean lines, a stone and wood-paneled facade, and wide double entry doors. Inside, expansive clerestory windows and floor-to-ceiling glass panels blur the line between indoor and outdoor living, showcasing breathtaking mountain views.At the heart of the home is a sunken living area with a dramatic hooded fireplace and low hearth, creating the perfect space for relaxation. A light-filled atrium courtyard brings in defused north light, while a wall of windows reveal a backyard retreat--complete with a pool, raised spa, and covered patio off the primary suite. The open dining area continues the seamless indoor-outdoor connection with original sliding doors leading to the private outdoor oasis.If you're searching for an untouched mid-century home that preserves its original charm without disruptive renovations, May Drive is the perfect canvas for your vision. This is a rare chance to bring a mid-century masterpiece back to life.
