Property Description
First time on the market in 50 years, The First Winter White House, ''Southways,'' built in 1920, is a Beaux Arts mansion set on 1.3 acres, located in the desirable center of town in Palm Beach, just one house from the ocean. The home is centered on its three lots, providing the ultimate in privacy. Subdivision of one of its lots is possible.
