Delray Beach’s famed Sundy House was the site of a recent fundraiser for the city’s public library that raised $2,000.

The “Dine Out” event featured a celebrity chef, and a portion of proceeds from food sales directly benefited the library.

The boutique inn in downtown Delray Beach is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is an attraction for city residents and visitors. The quaint and quiet retreat is Victorian in style and the site of not only fundraisers, but also weddings and other intimate events.

For those thinking about investing in Delray Beach homes for sale, the Sundy House definitely is an area attraction.
