Sitting on the third-largest corner lot in Seagate Section A, this 1948 ranch underwent a comprehensive three-year renovation by the Chris Leighton Design Group and is now positioned one block from the beach and within walking distance of Atlantic Avenue in Delray Beach. The 0.4-acre parcel is one of the few remaining original Old Florida homes in the neighborhood, fully rebuilt while retaining its period character.
Sitting on the third-largest corner lot in Seagate Section A, this 1948 ranch underwent a comprehensive three-year renovation by the Chris Leighton Design Group and is now positioned one block from the beach and within walking distance of Atlantic Avenue in Delray Beach.

Architecture & Renovation
The original 1948 structure was taken through a ground-up renovation by Chris Leighton Design Group, an award-winning firm known for residential work in coastal South Florida. The scope included new impact windows and doors throughout, a new pool and spa, and a complete redesign of interior finishes and the outdoor entertainment area. The ranch footprint was preserved, keeping the home at a single story across 3,100 square feet under air on a corner lot that offers flexibility for future additions or guest structures, subject to Delray Beach R-1-A zoning setbacks.
Interior Layout & Finishes
The floor plan centers on a French-country kitchen with a large center island that opens to a formal dining room and an expansive living and family room. A natural stone fireplace anchors the main living area. All four bedrooms are configured as private en-suite rooms, with the primary suite featuring a spa-caliber bath. Zoned central air and heating serve the layout, and impact-rated windows and doors allow continuous sightlines to the garden and pool area.
Outdoor Living & Grounds
The rear yard features a new pool and spa surrounded by a Brazilian teak deck. Mature landscaping screens the property on all sides, taking advantage of the corner lot's dual frontage. The 0.4-acre site is notable for Seagate: most lots in this section are considerably smaller, and the corner position provides additional light and setback flexibility that interior parcels lack.
Location & Access
Seagate is one of Delray Beach's most tightly held residential pockets, bounded by the Intracoastal to the west and the Atlantic to the east. This address is one block from the beach and a short walk south to Atlantic Avenue's restaurant and retail corridor. Palm Beach International Airport is approximately 20 minutes north via I-95. For buyers comparing Delray's beach neighborhoods, Seagate lots trade at a premium over properties west of the Intracoastal in Tropic Isle and Lake Ida, largely because of the walkable beach access and the neighborhood's limited inventory: homes here rarely turn over, and corner parcels of this size are particularly scarce.
