Step into a piece of Delray Beach's history with 521 N Swinton Ave, an iconic treasure cherished since 1939. Nestled in the heart of "The Village by the Sea," this historic compound offers the perfect blend of timeless charm and modern convenience. Just five blocks from vibrant Atlantic Avenue and a leisurely stroll to the beach, this prime corner lot spans over 1/3 acre, delivering an unmatched lifestyle in east Delray Beach. The meticulously maintained main house boasts 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, an office/gym, and an updated kitchen complete with natural gas—perfect for both entertaining and everyday living. For added versatility, a separate guest cottage and workshop provide private spaces for family, friends, or creative pursuits. The lush backyard is a tropical paradise, featuring a stunning 15'x30' just resurfaced resort-style pool surrounded by mature landscaping, Chicago brick pavers, and an outdoor copper soaking tub for moments of pure relaxation. Every detail of this property celebrates its vintage charm: Cypress wood ceilings, solid oak floors, original glass door knobs, and a 3-tiered antique water fountain are just a few of the exquisite features. Modern upgrades like a hybrid gas/electric pool heater, Impact glass, generator hookup, reverse osmosis water system, and a new irrigation well (2023) and new tankless hot water heater, ensure comfort and peace of mind without compromising the home's historic appeal. With a fully fenced yard, screened rear porch, convertible in-law suite, and a 7-zone sprinkler system, this compound is perfectly designed for privacy and flexibility. And with a walkability score of 10, you can leave the car behind and immerse yourself in all that Delray Beach has to offer—boutique shops, world-class dining, and the sun-soaked shores of the Atlantic. This is more than a home; it's an opportunity to become the next steward of a timeless Delray Beach jewel. Don't let this rare chance slip away—schedule your private tour today!
