Existing Structure & Zoning
The current building is an approximately 1,460-square-foot duplex dating to 1952. The multi-family and single-family zoning designation provides flexibility for a replacement project, whether a single beach residence or a reconfigured multi-family structure. Renderings, a current survey, supporting research, and an appraisal are available from the listing side. Most trees on the property are reported as unprotected, which simplifies site clearing and repositioning of the building envelope.
Development Considerations
Ocean Ridge maintains its own building department and code enforcement, separate from unincorporated Palm Beach County, which can streamline the permitting timeline for qualified applicants. The town's relatively modest density and low-rise character along Old Ocean Boulevard means neighboring structures are unlikely to obstruct ocean views from a new two-story construction. Buyers should verify FEMA flood zone designations and coastal construction control line setbacks, both of which will govern foundation requirements and buildable area on a direct oceanfront lot of this depth.
Location & Access
Ocean Ridge is a small barrier island municipality running south from the Boynton Inlet to roughly Briny Breezes. The property sits approximately two miles south of the Boynton Inlet, which provides the nearest access to the Intracoastal Waterway and open water for vessels heading north toward the Lake Worth Inlet. Atlantic Avenue in downtown Delray Beach is roughly three miles south, offering dining and retail along one of the more active downtown corridors in south Palm Beach County. Palm Beach International Airport is approximately 20 miles north, a 30 to 40 minute drive depending on traffic on I-95 or A1A.
