House in West Palm Beach, FL 33405

Hillside Park, 826 Palmetto St

One of a kind Rare ''Storybook Tudor cottage home''. Step back in time thru the front paneled cypress door with original hardware. Notice the steep pitched roof, rounded arch top doors, beautifully restored genuine Oak wood floors with high Pecky Cypress ceilings and centrally focused large gas logged fireplace. This 1920's era Traditional Tudor Cottage home boasts so many customized features such as flush 42 inch cabinets with glass double doors that allow tremendous light to flow. Interior cabinet lighting for showcasing display items with genuine door latches and pulls. The dining room is influenced with a beautiful natural wood coffered ceiling. The laundry area is conveniently located off the kitchen and includes a gas dryer. French doors in both the back bedroom and the kitchen open onto a large deck recently restored with maintenance free Trex decking. The back bedroom makes for a perfect office with two walls of windows with views into the tropical garden landscaping and communicates through a small hallway with the kitchen. The front bedroom possesses a large closet with access from two sides. The house is well sited on the oversized lot with plenty of room for a pool in the rear or on the side. There is a storage shed in the rear corner of the lot with hedges to hide its presence. "Tropical paradise" comes to mind when describing the rear and side yards of the home. An emphasis was placed on flowering trees and shrubs. Ground covers replace grass. One area of Pine trees and Saw Palmetto represent a native garden area like this area was before any homes were built. Falling Pine needles make a nice mulch on the pathways that meander through the garden. Every month of the year reveals different flowers in the garden. A rare variety "Mallika "mango tree produces the finest quality mangoes. A rare Crepe Myrtle from Thailand produces light pink flowers. There are too many flowering trees to mention them all. And the automatic sprinkler system with free desirable well water makes it easy to keep them growing well. This home is not over renovated like the fashion now and still retains the charm of "Old Florida" the rarity of which will be appreciated more with every passing year.
