Nestled in the exclusive, highly sought-after, hidden gem neighborhood of Por La Mar, this charming beach cottage effortlessly captures the warm, artistic soul of "Old Florida" while providing every modern convenience. From the moment you arrive, the property exudes character, seamlessly blending rich wood accents and lush natural greenery both inside and out to create a unique coastal haven. Inside, an open-concept layout defines the living spaces, anchored by real wood and tile flooring throughout. At the heart of the home is a true chef's kitchen featuring an eight-burner gas stove, double ovens, full sized refrigerator and freezer, and lots of counter space; perfect for casual family meals or lively entertaining. Accommodation includes two private en-suite bedrooms, offering ideal retreats for both owners and guests. While the home exudes timeless vintage appeal, comprehensive functional upgrades ensure total peace of mind—including impact-resistant windows and doors, a new roof, and a new A/C system. Step outside into your own serene tropical oasis. The private backyard is optimized for seamless outdoor living, centered around a full summer kitchen equipped with its own pizza oven—an unforgettable setting for evening gatherings under the palms. Whether you choose to enjoy this meticulously maintained turn-key retreat immediately or take advantage of the prime lot to design a bespoke custom estate, this property represents a rare opportunity to own a piece of coastal paradise in one of Boca Raton's most sought-after enclaves. The house sits just one block from the ocean and minutes from downtown Boca Raton. There is no HOA in this beachside community.
Southeast Boca Raton, located between Downtown Boca Raton and the Atlantic Ocean, is a coastal and residential Boca Raton neighborhood with palm-lined streets and low-rise waterfront scenery. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Mizner Park, where sidewalk dining, galleries, and polished storefronts set a social, walkable rhythm. Architectural cues lean Mediterranean Revival and contemporary townhomes, with pockets of canal-front homes near the Intracoastal Waterway. Cultural touchstones include the Boca Raton Museum of Art and the Mizner Park Amphitheater for exhibitions and outdoor performances. Spanish River Park and South Beach Park frame the shoreline with dunes, picnic areas, and wide sand. The Boca Raton Resort & Club adds a landmark silhouette along the water.
