A day in the life
Welcome to Palazzo Riviera, a stunning estate nestled at 1239 Middle River Drive in Fort Lauderdale. Imagine waking up in a home built in 2021, sprawling across 9,655 square feet, featuring 10 bedrooms and 11 baths. This gated trophy waterfront property offers 100 feet of water frontage, a private pool, and nearly 11,881 square feet of total area. From a rooftop terrace with expansive views to an independent guest residence with its private entrance, a movie theater, and an executive… this home provides a remarkable start to any day.
Your weekday rhythm balances luxurious living with convenient access to the city's pulse. A quick 3-minute drive takes you to Fort Lauderdale Beach, or 4 minutes to the vibrant Downtown Fort Lauderdale and Las Olas. The Brightline Fort Lauderdale Station is also just 4 minutes away, and Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport (FLL) a mere 10-minute drive, making travel effortless. For an evening out, Kaluz offers Intracoastal dining with dock space, or you might choose Rok:Brgr + Bombay Darbar, Sunset Drive favorites. For cocktails, The Oceanic at Pompano Pier, an oceanfront lounge, is 10 minutes north, or Bimini Boatyard provides a classic Fort Lauderdale waterfront bar experience.
Dining out is an experience unto itself, with options ranging from casual elegance to sophisticated Italian. Las Olas Boulevard restaurant row presents sidewalk tables, steakhouses, sushi, and Italian cuisine along a walkable mile. For a more intimate setting, Casa D'Angelo Ristorante by Chef Angelo Elia is known for its upscale Tuscan fare, handmade pasta, and white truffles. Alternatively, Timpano Italian Chophouse offers a supper-club style Italian steakhouse with live entertainment on weekend nights.
Your access to arts and culture is exceptional. NSU Art Museum Fort Lauderdale offers modern and contemporary shows downtown, a block from Las Olas, providing a tranquil escape on weekday mornings. The Broward Center for the Performing Arts hosts touring Broadway shows, symphonies, and comedy on the New River. And between November and April, the Las Olas Art Fair & seasonal street shows transform Las Olas Boulevard with outdoor juried art.
Embrace the outdoors with Fort Lauderdale Beach & the A1A promenade, offering two miles of lifeguarded sand with a wave wall and bike lanes. For a greener retreat, Hugh Taylor Birch State Park provides 180 acres of hammock, a lagoon perfect for kayaks, and a tunnel under A1A leading to the beach. You can also stroll along Riverwalk and use the water taxi to travel between downtown, Las Olas, and the beach.
Weekends are for exploration and family enjoyment. You might visit the Museum of Discovery and Science or catch a show at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts. The Las Olas Art Fair and FAT Village Arts District offer artistic inspiration, while New River Fine Art provides a gallery experience. For shopping, The Galleria at Fort Lauderdale and the Las Olas Boulevard Shopping District are close by, or you can explore Riverwalk Fort Lauderdale's Antique Car & Farmers Market. For family fun, Xtreme Action Park offers indoor go-karts, a roller rink, bowling, and a ropes course. Sky Zone Trampoline Park provides wall-to-wall trampolines and foam pits, and the AutoNation IMAX Theater at MODS
