You wake to quiet canal views at 642 Palm Drive in the gated Golden Isles community. Built in 2011, this two-story, 5,660-square-foot residence features seven bedrooms, eight baths, a private office, and eighty-five feet of waterfront. Step outside for morning coffee beside your private pool as the light reflects across the water.
Daily connections are remarkably swift. Aventura Mall is about a three-minute drive away, while Hollywood Beach and Downtown Hollywood at Young Circle sit roughly five minutes from your door. When world-class designer shopping calls, Bal Harbour Shops is an easy twelve-minute drive down the coast.
Dinner choices abound in every direction. Reserve a table at Casa D'Angelo Ristorante for handmade pasta and white truffle specialties, or explore the Las Olas Boulevard restaurant row for sushi and steakhouses along the sidewalk. For a laid-back evening, Anglin's Fishing Pier and beach village serves casual seafood and pizza steps from the sand.
Local culture flourishes just up the road. Tour contemporary exhibitions on quiet mornings at NSU Art Museum Fort Lauderdale, or take in touring Broadway and symphony performances at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts along the New River. Seasonally, the juried Las Olas Art Fair fills the boulevard with open-air showcases.
Coastal retreats offer effortless fresh air. Walk the wave wall along Fort Lauderdale Beach and the A1A promenade, kayak the coastal lagoon at 180-acre Hugh Taylor Birch State Park, or visit Dr. Von D. Mizell-Eula Johnson State Park for shaded picnic pavilions and quiet shores along the Intracoastal.
Weekends bring world-class excitement at Gulfstream Park Racing & Casino, the Pegasus World Cup, and the annual Broward County Fair. Children can delight in the carousel and play area at Gulfstream Park Village, hands-on studios at Young At Art Museum, indoor go-karts at Xtreme Action Park, or free neighborhood library story times and splash pads.
With an eighty-five-foot dock stated in the listing, coastal living is right outside your patio. While an eighty-five-foot vessel serves as a preliminary guide, you will want to verify depth at mean low water, vessel air draft clearances along your navigation route, and access to the nearest navigable inlet.
