South of Downtown West Palm Beach lies the historic suburb El Cid with North Shore Terrace (also historic) to the north, both on Flagler Drive. A little west of the latter, split by the US1, is Northwood which contains hundreds of single family homes in subsections Northwood Pines, Old Northwood Historic District, Northwood Gardens, and Pinewood Park. Moreover, Northwood homes for sale lie less than 800 yards from the west banks of the Intracoastal Waterway (as the crow flies). 

Construction in this West Palm Beach enclave began in 1910 (i.e., another genuinely historic district) along tree-lined streets carving through thick, flowing tropical foliage which delivers an overwhelming nature-centric and exclusive feel to the suburb. Moreover, the more-than-a-century continued construction has created a landscape of Addison Mizner Mediterranean/Spanish Revival-influenced residences starting at 1,250 to over 5,000 square feet under air (UA). In many cases, homeowners have significantly remodeled interiors with mind-boggling mixtures of the new and older homes.

For example, consider a 3,272-square-foot Spanish mission-type house on the MLS in 2023. The sellers thoughtfully renovated this home to merge contemporary Southern California architecture with 1925 built-in features (the latter being the brainchild of J.A. Bowery - a legendary designer during that period). So, on offer is an interior that reflects the following:

• White-blonde brushed-wall paint tones throughout four bedrooms (ensuite) and 5.5 bathrooms.
• A Christopher Peacock Epicurean kitchen that stands out as the home centerpiece.
• Luxurious waterworks bath fixtures.
• A merging of pre-existing solid wood with wide-plank engineered wood flooring.
• High-impact custom-fitted windows, french doors, and modern sliders.
• The original Paris ceramics antique tile, hand-crafted inlaid ceiling, and gas-stone fireplace remain - distinguishing features of the family room and bar area. 
• A contemporary, clean-cut private pool, summer kitchen, and stunning synthetic material sundeck in the backyard.

The above case study typifies this neighborhood's eclectic mixture of pre-1940 and breathtaking futuristic designs, showing the massive possibilities of living a unique, private estate home lifestyle. Prices of homes for sale on the MLS in 2023 ranged between $1.6 million to $4.9 million, with the per square foot (UA) registering as $550 to $1,495. That's a massive differential, indicating the need for a professional realtor to guide your negotiations. Indeed, many of our clients in historic enclaves want a clean slate to renovate to their taste, thus aiming for the lowest price per square foot possible.
