This single-story 1955 cottage at 301 South Swinton Avenue sits three blocks west of Atlantic Avenue in downtown Delray Beach, fully renovated in 2023 and zoned multifamily. The 0.15-acre lot offers both near-term income potential and longer-term redevelopment upside in one of the most walkable corridors in Palm Beach County.
2023 Full Renovation
The 2023 scope covered all major systems: new electrical, plumbing, roof, and hurricane-impact doors and windows throughout. A hard-wired alarm system with multiple exterior cameras was installed at the same time. The work was comprehensive enough that the home functions essentially as new construction within the original footprint.
Interior Layout
The floor plan is an open-concept living area with hardwood flooring and built-in shelving configured as an office area. Plantation shutters cover all windows. The second bedroom includes a Murphy bed, allowing the room to serve as a flexible living or guest space depending on use.
Outdoor Living & Grounds
The rear yard is fully fenced and landscaped for privacy, centered on a heated saltwater pool. A separate seating area and outdoor shower complete the outdoor space. The lot, while compact at roughly 6,500 square feet, is efficiently programmed with mature plantings screening the perimeter.
Zoning & Development Potential
The multifamily zoning designation is the critical detail here. South Swinton Avenue has seen steady assemblage and redevelopment activity as Delray Beach's downtown core expands west. The property is two blocks from the recently completed Sundy Village retail and dining development, which has shifted the center of gravity in this part of town. Buyers evaluating this parcel should note that multifamily-zoned lots within walking distance of Atlantic Avenue are increasingly difficult to source at this basis. A domain name associated with the property is included in the sale.
Location & Access
Atlantic Avenue, Delray Beach's primary commercial and dining corridor, is a three-block walk east. The Brightline station in downtown Delray is approximately a half-mile north, providing direct rail access to West Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale, and Miami. Palm Beach International Airport is roughly a 25-minute drive north via I-95.
