A day in the life
Wake up inside your 1,000-square-foot townhouse at 499 SE 13th Street 7E, a 1984 residence set within an intimate boutique enclave of just eight homes. With two bedrooms and three baths, your day begins with effortless comfort in a bright space designed to pair boutique charm with coastal convenience.
Step outside and settle into an effortless daily commute. Las Olas Boulevard and downtown Fort Lauderdale are about a three-minute drive away, matching the quick trip to Brightline Fort Lauderdale Station, while Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport is reachable in about five minutes. As evening sets in, enjoy skyline cocktails above Las Olas at Rooftop @1WLO, speakeasy-style drinks at The Wilder, live jazz in the V Lounge at Eddie V's Prime Seafood, or waterfront dining at Mastro's Ocean Club along the Intracoastal.
Evenings easily transition into exceptional culinary outings. Along the Las Olas Boulevard restaurant row, sidewalk tables offer a walkable mile of steakhouses, sushi, and Italian flavors. Savor handmade pasta and white truffle dishes at Chef Angelo Elia's Casa D'Angelo Ristorante, or immerse yourself in supper-club energy and live weekend entertainment at Timpano Italian Chophouse.
Engage with a vibrant local arts scene right nearby. Spend a quiet weekday morning exploring modern and contemporary exhibitions at NSU Art Museum Fort Lauderdale, located downtown near Las Olas. Later on, attend touring Broadway productions, symphony concerts, or comedy shows at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts on the New River, or browse the outdoor Las Olas Art Fair during seasonal street events.
Fresh ocean air is always within easy reach, with Fort Lauderdale Beach and the A1A promenade about a four-minute drive from your door, offering two miles of sand, bike lanes, and the wave wall. Explore 180 acres of hammock and a kayak lagoon at Hugh Taylor Birch State Park, or walk along the New River at Riverwalk and hop on the water taxi.
Weekends invite retail trips to The Galleria at Fort Lauderdale, the Las Olas Boulevard Shopping District, or the Riverwalk Fort Lauderdale Antique Car & Farmers Market. Stroll the FAT Village Arts District and New River Fine Art, catch a documentary on the five-story screen at AutoNation IMAX Theater inside the Museum of Discovery and Science, or visit Sky Zone Trampoline Park and Xtreme Action Park.
