Property & Lot
The home provides 1,218 square feet under air within a 1,521-square-foot footprint on a lot that, at nearly a quarter acre, is notably oversized for infill Delray Beach. The 1957 CBS construction is a candidate for gut renovation or potential teardown and rebuild, subject to City of Delray Beach zoning and setback requirements. Buyers should verify current R-1-A zoning allowances, including floor area ratio and impervious surface limits, which have been adjusted in recent code cycles.
Location & Access
The property is approximately 1.2 miles west of the Intracoastal Waterway and 1.6 miles from the public beach access points along Atlantic Avenue. Pineapple Grove Arts District and Atlantic Avenue's restaurant and retail corridor are within a short drive or bike ride. Lake Ida Park, directly to the west, offers freshwater boat ramps, fishing, and jet ski access without requiring Intracoastal navigation.
For regional connectivity, I-95 is accessible within minutes via Atlantic Avenue or George Bush Boulevard. Palm Beach International Airport is approximately 20 miles north, a 25- to 30-minute drive. Boca Raton lies eight miles south. The NE 3rd Avenue corridor has seen increasing land assemblage activity as Delray's downtown footprint pushes north, making this stretch worth monitoring for future density changes.
Investment Considerations
The property carries no rental restrictions, permitting both long-term tenancy and short-term rental use, including platforms like Airbnb, subject to City of Delray Beach short-term rental registration requirements. The current annual tax assessment is modest, reflecting the unrenovated condition. Any substantial renovation or new construction will trigger a reassessment to current market value. Investors should budget accordingly for permitting, impact fees, and a potential multi-month entitlement process if pursuing a rebuild.
