Architecture & Restoration
The main house retains its 1915 structure with high ceilings and period proportions, restored with modern systems including impact windows and panel shutters throughout. The roof dates to 2009. A driveway gate was installed in 2020, and the saltwater pool was added the same year with child-safety gate provisions and synthetic turf surrounds.
Main Residence Interior
The main house contains two bedrooms, two fully renovated bathrooms, and two dens, one of which functions as a third sleeping room. The kitchen has been updated with modern appliances. Sliding doors from both the kitchen and the primary suite open directly to the pool area, creating a continuous indoor-outdoor sequence along the rear of the house.
Guest Cottage
The detached guest cottage is configured as a studio suite with its own kitchenette and full bathroom. It operates on separate electric and water meters, making it functional as a rental unit or independent guest quarters. Its proximity to Palm Beach Atlantic University adds rental demand context.
Zoning & Development Context
The property carries an MF32-C1 (Multi-Family) zoning designation with a historic overlay (HIST), which is worth noting for any buyer considering future modifications. The multi-family zoning on a 0.11-acre parcel with an existing guest cottage and separate metering already leverages the density allowance. The historic overlay may impose design review for exterior alterations, but it also provides certain ad valorem tax benefits under Florida's historic preservation statutes that should be evaluated at closing.
Location & Access
Mango Promenade sits between the Intracoastal Waterway and Dixie Highway, within walking distance of Antique Row, Howard Park, and the Norton Museum of Art. Downtown West Palm Beach and CityPlace (now Rosemary Square) are minutes north. The property is on the Circuit transportation route, providing direct access to the NORA district and Palm Beach island via the Royal Park Bridge. Palm Beach International Airport is approximately a ten-minute drive west via Okeechobee Boulevard.
