Supplements: ... (Read more) In other words: the vision, the paperwork, and the permitting runway are already done. What's left is the build. Walk the property today and you'll see the raw potential — original hardwood floors, a classic bay-window nook that floods the front rooms with light, generous ceiling height, and a floor plan with genuine 1920s bones. The kitchen, baths, and mechanical systems are ready for a full gut-and-rebuild, and the approved plans lay out exactly how to bring this home into modern, move-in-ready condition without sacrificing the historic detail that makes Old School Square such a desirable address. Outside, the fenced backyard offers privacy and mature shade trees, plus a detached one-car garage/workshop structure — a rare bonus for a downtown historic lot, useful for storage, a workshop, or your favorite car. The lot's location puts a future owner a block away from Atlantic Avenue's restaurants and shops, Old School Square's cultural campus, and the rest of downtown Delray's dining, art, and entertainment scene. This is a compelling opportunity for a builder, contractor, or design-minded buyer looking for a project where the entitlement risk has already been removed. Historic renovations typically stall for months (or longer) in design and approval before a single hammer swings — this one is past that stage. The included renderings show the finished vision: a soft seafoam-toned cottage with crisp white trim, a welcoming covered front porch, brick walkway, and layered tropical landscaping — the kind of curb appeal that turns a quiet old home into a showplace. Being located in the Old School Square Historic District (OSSHAD zoning) means this property can benefit from Delray Beach's historic preservation 10 year tax incentives while contributing to the character of one of the city's most storied residential pockets — a neighborhood of restored bungalows, mature oak canopies, and brick-lined sidewalks just blocks from the heart of downtown. Sold as-is, with all architectural plans, historic approval documentation, and permitting history to convey to the buyer, allowing for a fast start to construction. This is a turnkey opportunity for the right buyer: someone who sees not a fixer-upper, but a nearly shovel-ready restoration with the creative and financial upside already built in. Whether you're a contractor seeking your next signature historic project, an investor looking for a fast path to a finished, sellable showplace, or a buyer who has always dreamed of restoring a piece of Delray's history with your own hands — 112 N. Swinton Avenue offers the rare combination of historic charm, approved plans, and a location that can't be replicated. Don't miss this chance to skip the red tape and start building the vision.
