About This Property

Built in 1928, this is the first Delray house designed by renowned Samuel Ogren Sr., the ''father of Delray Beach architecture,'' who also designed the Old School Square buildings and Sandoway House Nature Center. This is a truly, one-of-a-kind, special beautifully landscaped property, with a main residence and guesthouse on North Swinton Avenue, near everything Delray Beach has to offer! 704 North Swinton, Delray Beach, Florida: Minutes from the ocean, vibrant downtown Delray Beach and the Delray Beach Playhouse, the desirable Lake Ida neighborhood is a peaceful oasis centered on two lakefront parks on a picturesque lake offering boating and fishing. PROPERTY: On almost half-acre parcel with mature landscaping, residents enjoy outdoor entertaining and family living in the serene, magical backyard with a sun-splashed pool and overflow spa, pergola dining area with a fireplace, fully equipped covered summer kitchen, tiki hut, bocce court and turfed children's play area. OVERALL RESIDENCE: Truly a one-of-a-kind property, this is the first Delray Beach house designed by renowned architect Samuel Ogren Sr., known as the "father of Delray Beach architecture" who designed the Old School Square buildings and Sandoway House Nature Center. With a two-bedroom main residence built in 1928 and a 1940-era one-bedroom detached guesthouse, this 2,850± square foot compound offers versatility. Modernized with impact-rated windows and doors and beautifully restored, residents can enjoy the spacious vintage "bungalow," while utilizing the additional one-bedroom detached guesthouse as a mother-in-law suite, guest quarters, home office, game room or as a rental. Architectural details of its era abound, with Dade County pine floors, archways and built-in cabinetry. The original wood-burning fireplace highlights the living room in the two-bedroom main residence, with the kitchen finished with Café appliances, wood cabinets, quartz countertops and decorative tilework. The detached guest house comprises an area with a laundry room and gym, a full guest apartment, and a third space with a game room/office and half-bath. While notably significant, this property is not located within a designated historic district, providing flexibility for future updates or renovations. On North Swinton Avenue, just a few blocks to Atlantic Avenue, Pineapple Grove and the beach, walk, bike or golf cart to everything Delray has to offer!
