The home offers sweeping water views of the lake, river, and the Intracoastal junction. “This is truly one of the most impressive waterfront lots in all of Fort Lauderdale,” said Matthew Huston of Brown Harris Stevens. “It’s not just a home-it’s a private resort.“

Elegance and Resort-Caliber Amenities

Built in 2004 and recently renovated, this home in Fort Lauderdale for sale presents a layout of 8 bedrooms and 16 bathrooms, including 10 full and 6 half baths. Every corner of the estate is outfitted for high-end living, including two elevators that serve all levels. The interior features a designer kitchen with two islands, a spacious butler’s pantry, and a secondary prep kitchen-ideal for private chefs and entertaining. Formal and casual living spaces offer custom marble flooring, high-impact doors, a grand fireplace, and soaring ceilings.
