Property Description

Nestled in the heart of Del Ida, just moments from Atlantic Avenue, Delray Beach, and the ocean, this enchanting historic 1930 Mediterranean Revival residence—known throughout the city as The Mango Cottage—was inspired by Captain and Frances E. Childress, who replicated their honeymoon cottage in Cuba to create this one-of-a-kind home at 118 Dixie Boulevard. Originally built within a mango grove by Frederick Henry Link, a trained Addison Mizner craftsman, the home sits on an oversized lot surrounded by lush tropical gardens, fruit trees, and timeless Old Florida charm. A welcoming front porch opens to sun-filled interiors highlighted by hand-restored wood beams, stone flooring, and a cut-coral stone fireplace that anchor the space with warmth and character. With an extraordinary backyard featuring a pool, a newly expanded deck, and serene garden spaces, this 2-bedroom, 1.1-bath home has been meticulously renovated while honoring its original soul; offering a truly turnkey, one-of-a-kind lifestyle rarely found in the area. From its arched architectural details and hand-restored wood beams to its stone floors, cut-coral fireplace, and garden-like outdoor spaces, this residence captures the essence of Old Florida living; where craftsmanship, warmth, and character are not just preserved, but celebrated. Beyond its undeniable charm, the home has been thoughtfully and substantially enhanced beneath the surface. The residence was professionally reinforced with poured concrete pilings beneath the structure to ensure long-term stability and prevent floor settling; an extensive undertaking rarely seen in homes of this era. Following the structural work, Italian stone masons were brought in from New York to meticulously restore the slate flooring, preserving the home's historic character while delivering modern structural integrity. Ideally located within walking distance to sought-after Pineapple Grove and Atlantic Avenue's dining, shopping, and entertainment, and just moments from the beach this is an invitation to love living a life in an idyllic setting in paradise.
