Main House & Guest House
The main house contains two bedrooms, one full bathroom, a full kitchen, living room, and laundry. The attached guest house operates as a self-contained unit with its own kitchenette, living area, two bedrooms, one bath, laundry, and a separate entrance and parking accessed from the rear alley. This configuration allows for dual rental income or owner-occupied living with an income-producing accessory unit.
Osceola Park & Location
Osceola Park is one of Delray Beach's original residential neighborhoods, situated between SE 4th Avenue and the FEC Railway corridor. The neighborhood has seen significant infill new construction in recent years while retaining its mix of original cottages and Old Florida homes. Alleyways throughout Osceola Park feature murals and installations by local artists, giving the area a walkable, gallery-adjacent character distinct from the more formal neighborhoods south of Atlantic Avenue.
Atlantic Avenue's retail, restaurant, and gallery corridor is a short walk or bike ride north. The municipal beach at the east end of Atlantic Avenue is roughly one mile from the property. Boca Raton is approximately 15 minutes south via I-95, and Palm Beach International Airport is a 25-minute drive north.
The absence of HOA restrictions is particularly relevant here: the lot carries no deed restrictions on short-term rentals, and builders considering teardown and new construction face no architectural review beyond the City of Delray Beach permitting process. Parcels in this section of Osceola Park have attracted ground-up single-family projects in recent cycles, and the R-1-A zoning supports a range of residential uses worth confirming with the city's planning department.
