318 Australian Avenue Palm Beach FL 33480 MLS #R11079457

Rare Opportunity to Own a Piece of Palm Beach History. Step back in time when you enter this historic one-story Bungalow, originally built circa 1918. Landmarked by the current owner in November 2023, the home has been completely and lovingly renovated and preserved. This charming Bungalow features impact resistant, Double Hung Andersen windows, a new asphalt shingle roof, copper gutters, Detroit brick walkways, white picket fences and a delightful water fountain feature in the rear yard. Interiors boast original pecky cypress ceilings with matching built-in hutch, a gas fireplace, and an exceptional Jim Dove Design gourmet kitchen, featuring a handsome La Cornue gas stove and leaded glass in the cabinetry. Amazingly, this lot features not one, but two standalone houses! The main house has two bedrooms and two marble baths. The rear cottage features one bedroom and one bath and a full kitchenette with Miele appliances.

The two structures are excellent examples of the Bungalow style of architecture popular in the early twentieth century. Their distinguishing characteristics include the original cypress clapboard siding, low-pitched gable roofs with wide cave overhangs, and exposed rafter tails plus the original front porch Coral stone piers, which match the tall chimney constructed of the same. The landscaping is comprised entirely of Florida native plantings.
