FABULOUS BEACHFRONT RESIDENCE 

Fabulously located across from the Harbor Beach Surf Club, this comfortably stylish “beach house” creates a delightful resort-like retreat on expansive walled grounds.

Location

South Ocean Drive, Fort Lauderdale, Florida. One of Fort Lauderdale’s most prestigious neighborhoods, Harbor Beach is a guard-gated oceanside community with many multi-million-dollar estates in an idyllic island-like oasis, served by its own security patrol, offering private beach access along with its own beach club and yacht marina. Conveniently situated just off the 17th Street Causeway, this coveted address is close to Las Olas Boulevard, Fort Lauderdale’s signature thoroughfare, famous for its fine boutiques, galleries, restaurants, and sidewalk cafés. Area highways are within easy reach, and Fort Lauderdale International Airport is only minutes away.

Property

Directly across the street from the entrance to the Harbor Beach Surf Club, this delightfully unique retreat offers a wonderful Harbor Beach lifestyle and also enjoys the option to lease an additionally available 60-foot boat slip at the marina. Brimming with manicured tropical gardens, the unusually large 1/3+/- acre corner property is hidden behind privacy walls on three sides creating a secluded compound-like setting. The alluring casual ease of a South Florida beach house fills the inviting, light-filled environment of this beautifully renovated residence. Making indoor/outdoor entertaining a pleasure, the living areas flow from the south and west exposures to the covered/open courtyard patio surrounding the refreshing pool in a resort atmosphere. A garden walkway leads to the architecturally striking front entrance of the residence, and an extensive side drive leads to the oversized two-bay garage with additional storage space.
