A 1957 ranch on a 13,221 square foot corner lot in the Tropic Isle 2nd Section of Delray Beach, this canal-front residence sits on a seawalled parcel with southern exposure and a private dock offering navigable access to the Intracoastal Waterway with no fixed bridges.
Site & Development Potential
The oversized corner lot at 0.3035 acres is among the larger parcels in Tropic Isle, a community where waterfront teardowns and major renovations have steadily repriced over the past cycle. The corner position provides flexibility for expansion, a pool deck reconfiguration, or a full rebuild, subject to Delray Beach setback and impervious surface requirements. Southern exposure across the rear elevation ensures consistent natural light through the living areas and pool deck throughout the day.
Interior
The residence totals 2,483 square feet overall with 2,194 square feet under air, arranged as three bedrooms and two bathrooms in a single-story floor plan. The layout is characteristic of mid-century ranch construction in this section: living areas oriented toward the canal and pool, with a two-car garage integrated into the front elevation. Central air conditioning and electric heating serve the home.
Outdoor Living & Pool
The rear yard opens to a fenced, in-ground concrete pool overlooking the canal. The southern exposure and seawalled waterfront create a protected outdoor setting with direct water views from the pool deck and primary living spaces.
Water Access & Docking
The canal is seawalled with a width of up to 80 feet and connects to the Intracoastal Waterway without fixed bridge restrictions, a meaningful distinction for owners with express cruisers or sportfishing boats that require higher clearance. The Boca Raton Inlet lies approximately three miles south, and the Boynton Beach Inlet sits roughly four miles north, providing two options for open-ocean access. Lake Boca, area sandbars, and several waterfront dining destinations are accessible by boat within minutes.
Location & Access
Tropic Isle is positioned between Federal Highway and the Intracoastal, approximately one mile south of Atlantic Avenue, the commercial and social center of Delray Beach. The neighborhood benefits from proximity to both Boca Raton and Boynton Beach while maintaining a residential, low-density character. Palm Beach International Airport is roughly 25 minutes north via I-95; Boca Raton Airport is 10 minutes south for private aviation. For buyers evaluating Tropic Isle against comparable canal-front communities in Boca or Boynton, the no-fixed-bridge access and lot sizes here remain competitive, and the walkability to Atlantic Avenue is a differentiator few waterfront neighborhoods in the area can match.
