Architecture & Interior
The front entry opens into a grand foyer that establishes the scale of the house. The formal living room features 14-foot tray ceilings and a fireplace. Adjacent, the formal dining room continues the entertaining sequence. A den or library with French doors and a pecky cypress ceiling provides a more intimate room off the main living spaces.
The primary bedroom is located on the first floor with an en-suite bath that includes a sunken Roman tub, walk-in shower, and large walk-in closet. A galley kitchen connects to a breakfast room and butler's pantry. The family room opens through French doors onto the pool deck and rear yard.
Outdoor Living & Grounds
The gated lot is privately landscaped with a tropical rear yard. A heated in-ground pool is surrounded by a spacious deck, and a detached cabana or studio with a full bath adds a flexible-use structure, suitable as guest quarters, a home office, or pool house. Views from the front of the property look across toward the Intracoastal and Palm Beach Island.
Location & Access
El Cid is one of the original residential neighborhoods in West Palm Beach, platted in the 1920s along the western shore of the Intracoastal. The location is just south of downtown and the Clematis Street corridor, with walkable access to the waterfront parks along Flagler Drive. Palm Beach International Airport is approximately ten minutes by car. For buyers tracking the redevelopment pressure along the southern downtown WPB corridor, El Cid remains one of the few historically designated neighborhoods where original 1920s housing stock is still available at a relative value to new construction pricing on the waterfront.
