520 38TH Street

About this home

520 38th Street represents a true milestone in American homebuilding: the first single-family residence in the United States constructed with the revolutionary RENCO structural building system. Set within West Palm Beach's Northboro Park Historic District, this newly completed 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence combines timeless neighborhood character, sophisticated modern design and some of the most advanced residential construction technology available today. Behind its classic Florida exterior is RENCO's patented Mineral Composite Fiber Reinforced structural system, an innovative alternative to conventional wood and concrete construction engineered for exceptional strength and resilience. The Florida-approved system is impact resistant, approved for use in High Velocity Hurricane Zones and engineered for Category 5 hurricane-force conditions, while the composite material is designed to resist water, mold, mildew, termites and pests. Inside, no detail was treated as an afterthought. A bright open-concept floor plan is finished with high ceilings, wide-plank flooring, recessed lighting and an abundance of natural light. The showpiece kitchen features extensive white cabinetry, elegant brass hardware, stainless steel appliances, designer lighting and a dramatic waterfall-edge island that anchors the living and dining spaces. The bathrooms continue the custom aesthetic with marble-inspired surfaces, frameless glass, brushed-gold fixtures, an oversized dual-head shower, double vanity and beautifully tiled soaking tub. A dedicated laundry room offers built-in cabinetry, countertop workspace and additional storage. Outside, clean architectural lines are complemented by a covered porch, professionally finished landscaping and expansive paver walkways and driveway. All of this is surrounded by the established character of one of West Palm Beach's historic residential districts, minutes from the Intracoastal, Northwood Village, Downtown West Palm Beach and Palm Beach. This is more than new construction. It is a beautifully executed luxury residence built around an entirely new generation of structural technology, pairing historic Palm Beach surroundings with resilience, craftsmanship and forward-thinking design rarely found in a single home.
