Recently featured in both Coastal Living and House Beautiful, this Spanish Mediterranean gem, built in 1931, was gutted in 2021 and painstakingly updated with every modern convenience (including new roof, new plumbing, new wiring, whole house water filtration system) while preserving its historical gravitas and architectural charm. (The fireplace and its tilework, cathedral windows in the Florida room, and stair railing are all original to the house.) Chic encaustic tiles throughout instill a distinctive island palette that marries casual elegance with a refined aesthetic. The chef's kitchen boasts a Sub-zero fridge, Ilvy gas range, Bosche washer/dryer and custom lacquered cabinetry. The primary bedroom has an attached dressing room that can double as an office or 4th bedroom/nursery. The Sonos sound system and settings for heated saltwater pool are controlled from your handheld device, as is HVAC, security cameras and digital locking system.
The back of the property abuts a paved alleyway which would allow access to a garage addition with upstairs guest suite or guest cottage of up to 1,000 sq. ft.
Located in SoSo (south of Southern), well-south of the flight plan, this home is one block from a stroll or bike-ride up the intracoastal, minutes from PBI and a quick hop over the bridge for access to all of the excitement that Palm Beach has to offer.
La Salvadera has enjoyed significant income on the short-term rental market for the last two years and is offered furnished.
