North Swinton Avenue, Delray Beach, Florida. A premier location in historic Delray Beach places this estate just a short walk from the vibrant "downtown" district along picturesque Atlantic Avenue, where charming shops, galleries, cafes, and gourmet restaurants stretch from Old School Square to the Intracoastal Waterway.
Tucked away along the row of historic homes in one of the highly desired areas of Delray Beach, this family compound offers enchantment galore in a luxuriant tropical oasis of flourishing foliage. Truly two homes in one, the original estate and 6-year old addition are offset by a resort style pool, spill over spa and outdoor kitchen. A new barrel tile roof, plumbing and electric are complemented by a six-zone well sprinkler with filtration system.
True enchantment is found in this magical residence, where touches of whimsy are seen throughout 10,314 +/- total square feet of living space, with 7 bedrooms, 6 full and 1 half baths. The exterior is painted Custom Perfect Purple, with original Dade County Pine flooring, wood burning fireplace and glass door knobs. Modern touches are experienced in the five zone air conditioning, hurricane impact windows and 3-bay garage.
