This waterfront home embraces the South Florida lifestyle Las Olas Style

By Bill Lindsey

This home is ideal for the family that enjoys the outdoors. It’s a five-minute drive to the beach, business, dining, and retail districts.

IN 1917, l as Olas bOU levard was a dirt track running across a swampy area between the beach and the downtown area. Today, it’s a bustling road cutting through Seven Isles, one of the most desirable areas in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and provides access east to the beach or west to downtown in about five minutes from this beautiful residence.

The five-bedroom, seven-bathroom, 7,420-square-foot home is set on an 11,680-square-foot waterfront lot that provides immediate, no-fixed-bridges access to the adjacent Intracoastal Waterway or the Atlantic Ocean a short 15-minute cruise away, with dockage for vessels up to 80 feet in length.

The two-level home was built in 2017 using concrete blocks and hurricane-rated windows to shrug off the fury of tropical storms. It’s ideal for family life as well as entertaining, with an airy kitchen equipped with Wolf and Viking appliances, custom cabinets, and a central island with a breakfast bar. Generous floor-to-ceiling glass walls on both levels can be opened to let the ocean breeze in.

The formal dining room and spacious living room, complete with a fireplace for the very rare days that the temperature drops below 70 degrees Fahrenheit, both look out over the saltwater pool and jacuzzi, al fresco dining area with outdoor kitchen, and the dock beyond. The backyard is tastefully accented with region-appropriate palm trees.

An elevator and an architectural staircase accented with living moss lead to the second level and the master suite, which has a private wrap-around balcony overlooking the pool and dock. This section of the home provides the owner with a wide array of creature comforts, such as large walk-in closets and a spa-quality bathroom with a rainfall shower, soaking tub, dual vanities, and dual water closets. The master suite is buffered from the other bedrooms for optimal privacy for all occupants.

Other notable features include a glasswalled three-car garage, a golf simulator, and a home office/entertainment room.
