Across six bedrooms and eight baths, the residence balances grand entertaining with calm seclusion. Step out to the private pool, taking in the modern design of this monolithic setting.
Weekday commutes are remarkably swift. A three-minute drive places you in Downtown Fort Lauderdale, along Las Olas, or at the Brightline Fort Lauderdale Station, while the airport sits six minutes away. At dusk, gather for skyline drinks at Rooftop @1WLO, enjoy craft cocktails at The Wilder, or listen to live jazz in the V Lounge at Eddie V's Prime Seafood and dine at Mastro's Ocean Club.
Evenings center on notable culinary destinations. Along Las Olas Boulevard restaurant row, sidewalk tables offer sushi, steakhouses, and Italian selections. Reserve a table at Casa D'Angelo Ristorante for Chef Angelo Elia's handmade pasta and white truffle specialties, or choose Timpano Italian Chophouse for supper-club flair and live entertainment on weekend nights.
Artistic outings are moments away. Wander contemporary exhibitions during quiet weekday mornings at NSU Art Museum Fort Lauderdale, located one block off Las Olas. Catch touring Broadway, symphony, or comedy at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts, or view juried works when the Las Olas Art Fair takes over the boulevard.
Recreation unfolds along Fort Lauderdale Beach and the A1A promenade, located three minutes away with two miles of sand and bike lanes. Wander 180 acres of hammock and lagoon at Hugh Taylor Birch State Park, using the tunnel under A1A to reach the shore. Stroll Riverwalk, or ride the water taxi between downtown, Las Olas, and the beach.
Saturdays bring boutique shopping at The Galleria, Las Olas Boulevard Shopping District, and the Riverwalk Antique Car & Farmers Market. View exhibitions in FAT Village Arts District and New River Fine Art. If your children are with you, visit the Museum of Discovery and Science and AutoNation IMAX Theater, Xtreme Action Park, or Sky Zone Trampoline Park.
