About This Property
Discover your very own enchanted residence and guest cottage
hideaway, secluded in Boca Raton's legendary Old Floresta
neighborhood, where history whispers through the banyan trees and
every path feels like a secret garden exploration. One of only 29
Addison Mizner-designed Old Floresta homes, circa 1926, the current
owners have stewarded this heritage residence and quaint guest
cottage since 1975, respecting and preserving the original
architectural components that include Dade County pine floors and
pecky cypress ceilings, columns and casement windows. The original
wood-burning fireplace highlights the residence's living room, and
even the original 1926 bathroom fixtures have been preserved.
Period-sensitive details also include wide curved entryways,
French doors, plantation shutters and handsome built-in cabinetry.
Mexican Saltillo tile floors with accent insets adorn the patio and
porch, which is complemented by decorative copper gutters. While
preserving and maintaining the vintage charm, the two-bedroom,
two-bath residence, spanning 2,078± square feet, stands today
curated, updated, improved and expanded for modern living. The
extensively remodeled kitchen is finished with custom hardwood
cabinets, granite countertops, high-end appliances that include an
LP/gas range, and a walk-in pantry extension. The primary suite, an
aesthetically pleasing well-conceived addition, is complete with a
spa-like bathroom with double sinks and a spacious walk-in shower
with a built-in bench. The suite also comprises a walk-in cedar
closet, an office/alcove and French doors that open to the
pecky-cypress screened porch, an ideal retreat to observe the
natural setting. Whether greeting the morning or unwinding at day's
end, the changing light highlights the multitude of textures and
diverse vegetation. Just adjacent, the open deck is enhanced by an
orchid garden and features a 'ships ladder' that gives easy access
to the flat roof. A detached structure nestled toward the back of
the property comprises a two-car garage with space for a third car,
a shop/studio area, while the picturesque one-bedroom, one-bath
guest cottage, which is imbued with timeless, storybook charm.
Other amenities include storm shutters and a laundry room with a
washer/dryer and utility sink. The first time on the market in 51
years, this historic oasis is now available for purchase.
