Timeless Charm In Historic Boca Raton Hideaway

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 twenty-nine 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 nineteen twenty-six 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-bathroom residence, spanning two thousand seventy-eight plus/minus 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 a liquefied petroleum/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 ship’s 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 as well as a shop/studio area while the picturesque one-bedroom one-bathroom guest cottage 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 fifty-one years this historic oasis is now available for purchase.
