A 1955 CBS bungalow in Northwood Shores, two blocks from the Intracoastal Waterway in West Palm Beach, sitting on an 8,276 square foot lot with east-facing orientation. The property has had only three owners in 71 years and is classified as non-historic, which preserves renovation flexibility without landmark review constraints.
Construction & Improvements
The structure is concrete block (CBS) construction with a 5V galvalume metal roof installed in 2024. The home includes a carport and a dedicated laundry room area. A standalone pump house on the property has been converted into a private gym, and a separate shed provides equipment storage.
Interior Layout
Original solid hardwood flooring runs through the entry, living areas, bedrooms, and kitchen. The kitchen features Azul quartzite countertops and a matching quartzite backsplash. A rear bonus living area is finished in Mexican tile and opens to a Florida room, which serves as a transitional space to the backyard.
Outdoor Living & Grounds
The lot accommodates a circular paver driveway large enough for boat parking. The backyard offers room for a pool addition and is anchored by a mature mango tree. The east-facing front elevation catches prevailing breezes off the Intracoastal.
Location & Access
Northwood Shores sits immediately west of the Intracoastal, positioned between the Northwood District to the south and Currie Park to the southeast. Currie Park is undergoing a 13.6 acre public redevelopment that will add a waterfront promenade, marina, amphitheater, gardens, and fitness facilities along the waterway. The Northwood District itself has become a walkable corridor of galleries, restaurants, and independent retail. Palm Beach International Airport is roughly a 10 minute drive southwest via I-95 or Dixie Highway.
The subdivision sits on some of the oldest platted land in the county, originally part of the Mangonia mango groves of the late 19th century. For buyers watching the Intracoastal corridor north of downtown West Palm Beach, the non-historic designation here is worth noting: it allows a full tear-down and rebuild to current code without historic preservation board review, a meaningful distinction compared to parcels in the adjacent Northwood Historic District.
