Compound Layout & Structures
The main house contains two bedrooms and two bathrooms. A separate cottage adds a third bedroom and bathroom along with its own living room and kitchen, functioning as an independent unit. A standalone guest bedroom with full bath and private entrance provides a fourth sleeping quarter without shared-wall adjacency to any other structure. A private office with wet bar and storage rounds out the usable buildings on site.
The landmarked designation carries implications for any exterior renovation or addition. Owners should expect Preservation Board review for changes to facades, rooflines, and site alterations. The multi-structure layout is uncommon at this scale in Northwood and would be difficult to replicate under current setback and lot coverage rules for a parcel of this size.
Indoor-Outdoor Flow & Grounds
The property is oriented around indoor-outdoor living spaces consistent with its Key West styling. Garden views frame the grounds between structures. The arrangement of separate buildings around a shared yard creates defined zones for living, working, and hosting.
Location & Access
Northwood sits between the Northwood Village commercial district and the Palm Beach Island bridge approaches. Downtown West Palm Beach is roughly two miles south, and Palm Beach International Airport is a 10 to 12 minute drive. The neighborhood has seen steady reinvestment, with the Northwood Village Art District anchoring retail and dining along Northwood Road. Proximity to the Flagler Memorial Bridge provides direct access to the island's mid-town corridor.
