In a sweet neighborhood about a half-mile from the Lake Ida East Park and just blocks from the lake itself, this two-story 5-bedroom home in coastal Delray Beach makes you feel welcome from the moment you walk in the door, embraced by warm Spanish tile and cherry floors and kissed by the sunlight streaming in through glass doors that open to a lanai and 30-foot-long sparkling pool. 

Originally a single-level dwelling when it was built in 1956, this 3700-square-foot Key West-style home blossomed after a major 2007 addition that added a common area wing and three second floor bedrooms. One of the features I loved was the first floor den with french doors, just off the expansive family room that overlooks the private patio and pool.  Outfitted with a trundle bed and small closet, it's got a full bath that makes it an ideal overnight space for guests or visiting inlaws. 

310 NW 18th Street in Delray Beach is offered at $2,995,000 by Frederick Moran of The Corcoran Group. It's in a non-HOA neighborhood, so there are no monthly fees.
