Discover '50s charm reimagined for modern living at MidCentury Modern Perfection in Pomelo Park! Updated in 2012 by Catherine Hayes, this home blends retro allure with contemporary sophistication. Light streams through generous windows under soaring vaulted, tongue-and-groove ceilings. The chef's dream kitchen, with a central island, is perfect for both grand dinners and cozy breakfasts. The primary suite features a vintage fireplace and a luxurious bath with a Kohler oversized tub. Outside, a saltwater heated pool is nestled in lush, landscaped grounds with towering pecan trees, capturing the spirit of the 1950s with a modern twist. Dramatic hardwood veneer floors, a captivating Malm fireplace, and built-in office spaces make this home more than a place to live-it's a place to thrive!
