At 2125 NE 17TH Terrace in Wilton Manors, your day begins in a beautifully appointed, turnkey waterfront residence. This home, built in 1959, offers 1,619 square feet with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, and features a private pool. Substantial investments have already been made, allowing you to settle in comfortably.
During the week, you are well-situated for convenient travel. Downtown Fort Lauderdale, Las Olas, Fort Lauderdale Beach, and the Brightline Fort Lauderdale Station are all about a 5-minute drive away. For a change of scenery, Downtown Pompano Beach is about a 10-minute drive.
For dining, options abound. Explore the vibrant Las Olas Boulevard restaurant row, offering sidewalk tables, steakhouses, sushi, and Italian fare along a walkable mile. For a more casual experience, Anglin's Fishing Pier and its beach village provide casual seafood and pizza steps from the sand, with easy parking on weekdays. For an upscale evening, Casa D'Angelo Ristorante offers Chef Angelo Elia's Tuscan cuisine, known for handmade pasta.
Cultural experiences are easily accessible. The NSU Art Museum Fort Lauderdale showcases modern and contemporary shows downtown, just a block from Las Olas, and can be enjoyed during quiet weekday mornings. The Broward Center for the Performing Arts hosts touring Broadway, symphony, and comedy on the New River. You can also explore the Las Olas Art Fair and seasonal street shows, which transform Las Olas Boulevard on several weekends between November and March.
When you seek fresh air, Fort Lauderdale Beach and the A1A promenade offer two miles of lifeguarded sand with a wave wall and bike lanes. Hugh Taylor Birch State Park, with its 180 acres of hammock and a lagoon for kayaks, provides a peaceful escape, and a tunnel under A1A leads directly to the beach. Further south, Dr. Von D. Mizell-Eula Johnson State Park offers quiet beaches, the Intracoastal on the other side, and amenities like kayak rentals and picnic pavilions.
Weekends offer a variety of activities. Outdoors and for beaches, Colohatchee Park is an option. For family fun, Jungle Island Mini Golf & Fun Park provides entertainment. When seeking indoor activities for the kids, the Young At Art Museum offers make-and-play art studios, while Xtreme Action Park features indoor go-karts, a roller rink, bowling, and a ropes course. Additionally, local libraries offer free story times for babies and toddlers, and most Broward and Palm Beach splash pads are also free.
The property includes waterfront access with a dock. The usable dock length needs verification, as does the depth at mean low water. If you have a boat, the vessel's air draft and route would need to be verified against any bridges, and the nearest navigable inlet would be a point of review.
