About 813 Avon Road
Classic 1920s Spanish Mission on an oversized lot in the heart of Flamingo Park, with not just one but two guest cottages. This set up affords a new owner many options - rent some and live in one, rent all three, Airbnb together and/or separate, or keep them all to yourself and have great spaces for you to enjoy the main house and your guests to have their own private cottages. The main house has 2 bedrooms and 1 updated bathroom and is light and bright with white-washed original hardwood flooring, Venetian plaster finishes, a stately fireplace mantle and an open living plan that is perfect for entertaining.You enter the main house through a lovely Florida Room with plantation shutters and tiled floors. From there, you pass through French Doors to the great room that is open to the kitchen with a counter height bar. The kitchen is updated with white cabinetry, Italian micro-cement countertops and stainless-steel appliances.
Out back, the grounds are unusually spacious as the lot is 50% larger than the standard Flamingo Park property. There is plenty of room for a pool and even with a pool, you would still have abundant yard space to run and play! There is a drive that runs along the west side of the property to a one car garage. At the rear of the property, there are two guest cottages connected by a breezeway. Both have full baths and full kitchens. One is an open plan and the other has a separate living room, kitchen and bedroom. Property is two units per the tax rolls, but the two guest cottages function separately.
Buyers may not see but will certainly appreciate other updates like a roof coated in a silicone ceramic system for protection with Icynene insulation in the attic for energy efficiency. The roof is also updated with hurricane clips for safety and to save money on wind insurance. The sellers installed and ran a natural gas line to a whole-house generator to protect against power interruptions. The electrical service is all new with the power lines buried underground by FPL. Buyers can have the peace of mind that the systems have been upgraded.
One of the very best historic neighborhoods in all the area, Flamingo Park has old school charm with gorgeous architecture from the 1920s and hills from a coastal ridge that give it elevation and topography that is unusual in Florida. Even with the classic neighborhood feel, you are surprisingly close to downtown - an easy bike ride - and the waterfront and all that West Palm has to offer. You are only a few miles to the beach and Worth Avenue and less than that to the airport. You are blocks to top restaurants like Grato, Table 26 and Hive. Only about a mile to the Norton Museum and the Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens or the Armory Art Center and Howard Park. This neighborhood feeds to the ever-popular Palm Beach Public School on the island and you are also near private alternatives like the Greene School and Palm Beach Day Academy.
The amazing shops along S. Dixie, great things to do, and a friendly atmosphere are just a few of the reasons why so many people love Flamingo Park and make it such a popular area to buy or lease a place to live there. Rents on this listing are projected as most of the property is vacant to enable showings, but Flamingo Park is one of the easiest areas to find great tenants. Income is estimated.
