Description

Classic 1920s Spanish Mission on an oversized lot in the heart of Flamingo Park, with not just one but two guest cottages. The main house is light and bright with white-washed original hardwood flooring, Venetian plaster finishes, a stately fireplace mantle and an open living plan that is perfect for entertaining. You enter into a lovely Florida Room with plantation shutters and tiled floors. From there, you pass through French Doors to the great room that is open to the kitchen with a counter height bar. The kitchen is updated with white cabinetry, Italian micro-cement countertops and stainless-steel appliances. There are two bedrooms in the main house and an updated bath with glass-enclosed walk-in shower. Out back, the grounds are unusually spacious as the lot is 50% larger than the standard Flamingo Park property. There is plenty of room for a pool and even with a pool, you would still have abundant yard space to run and play! There is a drive that runs along the west side of the property to a one car garage. At the rear of the property, there are two guest cottages connected by a breezeway. Both have full baths and full kitchens. One is an open plan and the other has a separate living room, kitchen and bedroom. Amazing opportunities for guests to stay in their own spaces or, of course, potential for income as well if you rent them for cash flow. Buyers may not see but will certainly appreciate other updates like a roof coated in a silicone ceramic system for protection with Icynene insulation in the attic for energy efficiency. The roof is also updated with hurricane clips for safety and to save money on wind insurance. The sellers installed and ran a natural gas line to a whole-house generator to protect against power interruptions. The electrical service is all new with the power lines buried underground by FPL. Buyers can have the peace of mind that the systems have been upgraded. One of the very best historic neighborhoods in all the area, Flamingo Park has old school charm with gorgeous architecture from the 1920s and hills from a coastal ridge that give it elevation and topography that is unusual in Florida. Even with the classic neighborhood feel, you are surprisingly close to downtown - an easy bike ride - and the waterfront and all that West Palm has to offer. You are only a few miles to the beach and Worth Avenue and less than that to the airport. You are blocks to top restaurants like Grato, Table 26 and Hive. Only about a mile to the Norton Museum and the Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens or the Armory Art Center and Howard Park. This neighborhood feeds to the ever popular Palm Beach Public School on the island and you are also near private alternatives like the Greene School and Palm Beach Day Academy. The amazing shops along S. Dixie, great things to do, and a friendly atmosphere that are just a few of the reasons why so many people love Flamingo Park.
