You have three bedrooms and three full baths, with two of the bedrooms featuring en-suite bathrooms, providing privacy and comfort. The large updated kitchen is ready for your morning routine, perhaps a quiet coffee before the day begins, or preparing a hearty breakfast for the family. A private pool awaits just outside, inviting a refreshing start to any day.

Your weekday rhythm is seamlessly integrated with the vibrant life of South Florida. The convenience of your location means Downtown Fort Lauderdale and Las Olas are just about a 5-minute drive away. Similarly, Fort Lauderdale Beach can be reached in about 5 minutes, offering quick access to sun and sand. For those commuting further, the Brightline Fort Lauderdale Station is also about a 5-minute drive. Even Downtown Pompano Beach is only about a 10-minute drive, placing many destinations within easy reach.

When it comes to dining, a world of flavors awaits. You can explore the Las Olas Boulevard restaurant row, where sidewalk tables, steakhouses, sushi, and Italian eateries line a walkable mile. For a more casual experience by the ocean, Anglin's Fishing Pier and its charming beach village offer casual seafood and pizza steps from the sand, with easy parking on weekdays. For an upscale Tuscan experience, Casa D'Angelo Ristorante, known for Chef Angelo Elia's handmade pasta and white truffle dishes, is a memorable choice.

Immerse yourself in arts and culture. The NSU Art Museum Fort Lauderdale showcases modern and contemporary exhibitions downtown, just a block from Las Olas, offering quiet weekday mornings for contemplation. The Broward Center for the Performing Arts on the New River hosts touring Broadway shows, symphony performances, and comedy acts. You can also enjoy the Las Olas Art Fair and seasonal street shows, outdoor juried art events that transform Las Olas Boulevard on several weekends between November and March.

For moments of fresh air and natural beauty, explore the local parks and beaches. Fort Lauderdale Beach and the A1A promenade offer two miles of lifeguarded sand, complete with a wave wall, bike lanes, and hotel bars across the street. Hugh Taylor Birch State Park, with its 180 acres of hammock and a lagoon perfect for kayaking, provides a shaded escape, with a tunnel under A1A leading directly to the beach. Dr. Von D. Mizell-Eula Johnson State Park offers a quiet beach and Intracoastal access, with kayak rentals, picnic pavilions, and serene spots.

Weekends are for creating memories. You can explore Colohatchee Park for outdoor activities and enjoy its natural beauty, or head to Jungle Island Mini Golf & Fun Park for family fun. For children, the Young At Art Museum offers make-and-play art studios designed for messy, indoor, and air-conditioned creativity. Teenagers will enjoy Xtreme Action Park, an indoor facility with go-karts, a roller rink, bowling, a ropes course, and an arcade all under one roof.
