and full bath—ideal for guest quarters, office, gym, or studio. The approved design allocates approximately: • Main residence: 3,700 sq ft living (4,555 total) • Cottage (existing + approved expansion): 472 sq ft living (642 total) • Detached garage with upper-level flex space and full bath: 764 sq ft living (1,528 total) This breakdown reflects the full approved scope, including garage living space not always captured in standard MLS fields. What makes this offering particularly compelling is how it's been structured. The project has been submitted as separate permit packages under one cohesive plan, allowing a future owner to execute strategically rather than all at once. Build the full vision, phase it over time, or adjust specific elements without jeopardizing progress on the rest. The ability to move forward in stages—and still obtain a Certificate of Occupancy on completed portions—is a rare advantage in Delray's historic corridor. Equally important: permit issuance has been intentionally paused. Final fees have not yet been paid, allowing the next owner to control when the clock starts—an often overlooked but highly valuable lever in managing timing, financing, and construction planning. The existing cottage is grandfathered and approved for expansion, preserving a level of density and flexibility that is increasingly difficult to achieve under current regulations. The garage structure is fully approved new construction, adding meaningful usable space and functionality to the overall design. The total approved square footage represents a significant increase from the current footprint, positioning the property in line with higher-end finished product in the area—without requiring the next owner to navigate historic approvals, redesign cycles, or extended permitting timelines. The current spa area also presents an easy opportunity for conversion to a plunge pool, offering an additional enhancement without major redesign. This is not a typical purchase, and it should not be evaluated like one. The value here is not in the existing structure, which is not currently in livable condition, but in the time, approvals, and forward momentum already secured—elements that can often take years to replicate in this location. Construction costs will vary depending on materials, finishes, and execution; buyers are encouraged to consult with their builder to determine their preferred approach. What is certain is this: the pathway has been cleared, the vision has been established, and the next owner has the rare ability to step in and move forward without starting over. For buyers who understand what it takes to build in a historic district, the advantage is immediate and substantial. Bring your builder. Move straight to execution. Skip the part everyone else gets stuck in.
