RENCO Structural Technology

The RENCO system is Florida-approved for use in High Velocity Hurricane Zones. The composite material is impact resistant and engineered to resist water, mold, mildew, termites, and pests, eliminating several of the long-term maintenance concerns inherent in conventional wood-frame and concrete block construction. For a buyer evaluating durability and insurance exposure, this is a meaningful structural distinction.

Interior Finishes & Layout

The floor plan is open-concept with high ceilings, wide-plank flooring, recessed lighting, and generous natural light throughout. The kitchen anchors the main living and dining spaces with a waterfall-edge island, extensive white cabinetry, brass hardware, stainless steel appliances, and designer lighting.

Bathrooms are finished with marble-inspired surfaces, frameless glass enclosures, and brushed-gold fixtures. The primary bath includes an oversized dual-head shower, double vanity, and a tiled soaking tub. A dedicated laundry room provides built-in cabinetry, countertop workspace, and additional storage.

Outdoor Living & Grounds

The exterior maintains clean architectural lines with a covered porch, professionally finished landscaping, and expansive paver walkways and driveway. The 0.14-acre lot sits within the established streetscape of one of West Palm Beach's historic residential districts.

Location & Access

The property is minutes from the Intracoastal, Northwood Village, Downtown West Palm Beach, and Palm Beach, as noted in the listing.
